Your people are saying that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) trotted around the House and that it is Sunnah. He said: They are telling the truth and they are lying. I said: How are they telling the truth and lying? He said: They are telling the truth, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did trot around the House, but they are lying because it is not Sunnah. At the time of al-Hudaibiyah, Quraish said: Leave Muhammad and his Companions alone until they die like the worm that falls from the nose of an animal (an-naghaf: said to belittle a man and remark on his weakness). When it was agreed that they would come the following year and stay in Makkah for three days, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and the mushrikeen were watching from the direction of Qu'aiqi'an. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to his Companions: "Trot around the House three times.” But it is not Sunnah. I said: And your people say that he went between as-Safa and al-Marwah on a camel and that that is Sunnah. He said: They are telling the truth and they are lying. I said: How are they telling the truth and lying? He said: They are telling the truth, he did go between as-Safa and al-Marwah on a camel, but they are lying because that is not Sunnah. The people would not stay away from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and would not disperse from around him, so he went between (as-Safa and al-Marwah) on a camel so that they could hear what he said and could not touch him. I said: And your people are claiming that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) trotted between as-Safa and al-Marwah and that this is Sunnah. He said: They are telling the truth. When the rituals were enjoined upon Ibraheem, the Shaitan appeared to him at the place of sa’y and started to race with him, but Ibraheem beat him in the race. Then Jibreel (عليه السلام) took him to Jamratal-'Aqabah, where a devil - Yoonus said: the Shaitan - appeared to him, so he stoned him with seven pebbles until he went away. Then he appeared to him at al-Jamratal-Wusta and he stoned him with seven pebbles. And when he lay him (Isma'eel) down on his face - and Isma'eel was wearing a white chemise - he said: O my father, I have no other garment that you may shroud me in except this, so let me take it off so that you can shroud me in it. He started taking it off, when a voice called from behind him: “O Ibraheem! You have fulfilled the dream!" (as-Saffat 37:104,105). Ibraheem turned round and saw a wide-eyed, horned, white ram. Ibn ‘Abbas said: I remember we used to look for this type of ram (for sacrifice). He said: Then Jibreel took him to al-Jamratal-Quswa, and the Shaitan appeared to him, and he stoned him with seven pebbles until he went away. Then Jibreel took him to Mina and said: This is Mina – Yoonus said: This is where the people halt. Then he took him to Muzdalifah and he said: This is al-Mash'ar al-Haram. Then he took him to ‘Arafah - Ibn 'Abbas said: Do you know why it is called ‘Arafah? I said: No. He said: Jibreel said to Ibraheem, ‘Arafta (have you understood)? And he said: Yes. Ibn 'Abbas said: Because of that it is called ‘Arafah. Then he said; Do you know how the Talbiyah came about? He said: How did it come about? He said: When Ibraheem was commanded to proclaim the Hajj to mankind, the mountains lowered their heads for him and the cities were raised up for him, and he proclaimed the Hajj to mankind.
