حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ الصَّفَا، وَالْمَرْوَةِ،. فَقَالَ كُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّهُمَا مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الإِسْلاَمُ أَمْسَكْنَا عَنْهُمَا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا‏}‏.

Narrator: `Asim bin Sulaiman

English translation
Narrated `Asim bin Sulaiman: I asked Anas bin Malik about Safa and Marwa. Anas replied, "We used to consider (i.e. going around) them a custom of the Pre-islamic period of Ignorance, so when Islam came, we gave up going around them. Then Allah revealed" "Verily, Safa and Marwa (i.e. two mountains at Mecca) are among the Symbols of Allah. So it is not harmful of those who perform the Hajj of the House (of Allah) or perform the Umra to ambulate (Tawaf) between them
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আসিম ইবনু সুলাইমান (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাঃ)-কে সাফা ও মারওয়াহ সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করলে তিনি বলেন, আমরা ঐ দু’টিকে জাহিলী যুগের কাজ বলে মনে করতাম। যখন ইসলাম আসল, তখন আমরা এ দু’টির মধ্যে সায়ী করা থেকে বিরত থাকি। তখন আল্লাহ আয়াত অবতীর্ণ করেন- إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ থেকে أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ পর্যন্ত। [১৬৪৮] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪১৩৮, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
