Narrated `Urwa: I asked `Aisha (regarding the Sai between As Safa and Al-Marwa). She said, Out of reverence to the idol Manat which was placed in Al-Mushailal, those who used to assume Ihram in its name, used not to perform Sai between As-Safa and Al-Marwa, so Allah revealed: 'Verily! The As-Safa and Al-Marwa (two mountains at Mecca) are among the symbols of Allah.' (2.158). Thereupon, Allah's Messenger and the Muslims used to perform Sai (between them). Sufyan said: The (idol) Manat was at Al-Mushailal in Qudaid. `Aisha added, The Verse was revealed in connection with the Ansar. They and (the tribe of) Ghassan used to assume lhram in the name of Manat before they embraced Islam. `Aisha added, There were men from the Ansar who used to assume lhram in the name of Manat which was an idol between Mecca and Medina. They said, O Allah's Messenger ! We used not to perform the Tawaf (Sai) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa out of reverence to Manat.
