the Exalted commanded us to follow him, and said: {Indeed, there is for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern} (4). Aslam reported from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab that he performed al-idtiba’ and al-raml and said: "Why the raml, and why do we expose our shoulders now that Allah has banished the polytheists? Yet, we will not abandon anything we did during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." Reported by Abu Dawud (5). When he finishes the Tawaf, he should adjust his rida’; because al-idtiba’ is not recommended in prayer. Al-Athram said: "When he finishes the circuits in which he performs al-raml, he should adjust his rida’." The first opinion is better, because the statement "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed Tawaf while performing idtiba’" applies to the entire Tawaf. He does not perform al-idtiba’ in any other Tawaf, nor does he perform al-idtiba’ during the Sa’y. Al-Shafi’i said: "He performs al-idtiba’ during it; because it is one of the two Tawafs, so it resembles the Tawaf around the House." Our argument is that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not perform al-idtiba’ in it, and the Sunnah lies in following him. Ahmad said: "We have not heard anything about it." Analogy (Qiyas) is not valid except in matters where the meaning is understood (6), and this is a matter of pure ritual devotion (ta’abbud).
612 - Issue; he said: "(And he performed al-raml for three circuits, and walked for four, all (1) of that from the Black Stone to the Black Stone)."
The meaning of al-raml is to quicken the walking with short steps without leaping. It is a Sunnah in the first three circuits of the arrival Tawaf. We know of no disagreement among the people of knowledge regarding this. It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed al-raml for three circuits and walked for four. It was reported by Jabir, Ibn ‘Abbas, and Ibn ‘Umar, and their hadiths are agreed upon (2). If it is said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his companions only performed al-raml..."

تَعَالَى بِاتِّبَاعِهِ، وقال: {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} (٤). وقد رَوَى أسْلَمُ، عن عمرَ بن الخَطَّابِ، أنَّه اضْطَبَعَ ورَمَلَ، وقال: فَفِيمَ الرَّمَلُ، ولِمَ نُبْدِى مَنَاكِبَنَا وقد نَفَى اللهُ المُشْرِكِينَ؟ بَلَى، لن نَدَعَ شيئا فَعَلْنَاهُ على عَهْدِ رسولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-. رَوَاهُ أبو دَاوُدَ (٥). وإذا فَرَغَ من الطَّوَافِ سَوَّى رِدَاءَهُ؛ لأنَّ الاضْطِبَاعَ غيرُ مُسْتَحَبٍّ في الصلاةِ. وقال الأثْرَمُ: إذا فَرَغَ من الأشْوَاطِ التى يَرْمُلُ فيها، سَوَّى رِدَاءَهُ. والأوَّلُ أَوْلَى؛ لأنَّ قَوْلَه: طَافَ النَّبِىُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- مُضْطَبِعًا. يَنْصَرِفُ إلى جَمِيعِه. ولا يَضْطَبِعُ في غيرِ هذا الطَّوَافِ، ولا يَضْطَبِعُ في السَّعْىِ. وقال الشَّافِعِىُّ: يَضْطَبِعُ فيه؛ لأنَّه أحَدُ الطَّوَافَيْنِ، فأشْبَهَ الطَّوَافَ بِالبَيْتِ. ولَنا، أنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- لم يضْطَبِعْ فيه، والسُّنَّةُ في الاقْتِدَاءِ به. قال أحمدُ: ما سَمِعْنَا فيه شيئا. والقِيَاسُ لا يَصِحُّ إلَّا فيما عُقِلَ (٦) مَعْنَاهُ، وهذا تَعَبُّدٌ مَحْضٌ.
