Hadith 10112

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that Sawdabint Abdullah ibn Umar, who was in the household of Urwa ibn az-Zubayr, set off walking between Safa and Marwa when doing either hajjor an umra. She was a heavy woman and she began when everybody wasleaving after the isha prayer, and she still had not completed hercircuits when the first call was given for subh, but finished thembetween the two calls to prayer.If Urwa saw people doingcircuits on riding beasts he would tell them in very strong terms notto do so, and they would pretend to be ill, out of awe of him.Hisham added, "He used to say to us about them 'These areunsuccessful and have lost.' "Malik said, "Someone whoforgets say between Safa and Marwa in an umra, and does not rememberuntil he is far from Makka, should return and do say. If, in themeantime, he has had intercourse with a woman, he should return and dosay between Safa and Marwa so as to complete what remains of thatumra, and then after that he has to do another umra and offer asacrificial animal."Malik was asked about someone who metanother man when doing say between Safa and Marwa and stopped to talkwith him, and he said, "I do not like anyone to do that."Malik said, "If anyone forgets some of his tawaf or is uncertain aboutit and remembers only when he is doing say between Safa and Marwa, heshould stop the say and complete his tawaf of the House apart fromthat about which he is certain. After that he prays the two rakas ofthe tawaf, and then begins his say between Safa and Marwa."
