623 - Issue: He said: "And if (1) he forgets to trot (ramal) during some of his Sa'i, there is nothing upon him."
The entirety of this is that the trot in the bottom of the valley is a recommended sunnah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed Sa'i, and his companions performed Sa'i. Safiyya bint Shaybah narrated from the mother of a son of Shaybah, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performing Sa'i between al-Safa and al-Marwah, [and he was saying] (2): "The valley (al-abtah) is not traversed except at a quick pace (shaddan)." This is not obligatory, and there is no penalty for one who omits it, for Ibn Umar said: If I perform Sa'i between al-Safa and al-Marwah, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) perform Sa'i, and if I walk, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) walk, and I am an old man. Both were narrated by Ibn Majah (3), and Abu Dawud (4) narrated this. Furthermore, because omitting the trot during the circumambulation of the House entails no penalty, then [the same rule applying] between al-Safa and al-Marwah is more appropriate.
Section: There is a difference of opinion regarding the Sa'i. It is narrated from Ahmad that it is a pillar (rukn), and the Hajj is not complete without it. This is the opinion of Aishah, Urwah, Malik, al-Shafi'i, and al-Awza'i, based on what is narrated from Aishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) circumambulated, and the Muslims circumambulated—meaning between al-Safa and al-Marwah—and it became a sunnah. By my life, Allah has not completed the Hajj of one who did not circumambulate between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Narrated by Muslim (5).

٦٢٣ - مسألة؛ قال: (وإنْ (١) نَسِىَ الرَّمَلَ فِى بَعْضِ سَعْيِهِ، فَلَا شَىْءَ عَلَيْهِ)
وجُمْلَةُ ذلك أنَّ الرَّمَلَ فى بَطْنِ الوَادِى سُنَّةٌ مُسْتَحَبَّةٌ؛ لأنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- سَعَى، وسَعَى أصْحَابُه، فرَوَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بنتُ شَيْبَةَ، عن أُمِّ وَلَدِ شَيْبَةَ، قالتْ: رأيتُ رسولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَسْعَى بين الصَّفَا والمَرْوَةِ، [وهو يقولُ] (٢): "لَا يُقْطَعُ الْأبْطَحُ إلَّا شَدًّا". وليس ذلك بِوَاجِبٍ، ولا شىءَ على تَارِكِه؛ فإنَّ ابن عمرَ، قال: إن أسْعَ بينَ الصَّفَا والمَرْوَةِ، فقد رأيتُ رسولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَسْعَى، وإن أمْشِ، فقد رأيتُ رسولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَمْشِى، وأنا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ. رَوَاهُما ابنُ مَاجَه (٣)، ورَوَى هذا أبو دَاوُدَ (٤). ولأنَّ تَرْكَ الرَّمَلِ فى الطَّوَافِ بِالبَيْتِ لا شىءَ فيه، فبَيْنَ الصَّفَا والمَرْوَةِ أوْلَى.
فصل: واخْتَلَفَتِ الرِّوَايَةُ فى السَّعْىِ، فرُوِىَ عن أحمدَ أنَّه رُكْنٌ، لا يَتِمُّ الحَجُّ إلَّا به. وهو قَوْلُ عائشةَ، وعُرْوَةَ، ومَالِكٍ، والشَّافِعِىِّ؛ لما رُوِىَ عن عائشةَ، قالت: طَافَ رسولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-، وطَافَ المُسْلِمُونَ -يَعْنِى بين الصَّفَا والمَرْوَةِ- فكانتْ سُنَّةً، فَلَعَمْرِى ما أتَمَّ اللهُ حَجَّ مَن لم يَطُفْ بين الصَّفَا والمَرْوَةِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ (٥). وعن حَبِيبَةَ بنتِ أبِى تَجْرَاةَ (٦)، إحْدَى نِسَاء بنِى عَبْدِ الدَّارِ،
