From Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad, from his father, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ jogged three circuits (1) from the Black Stone to the Black Stone.

ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said: “Why are we still jogging and baring our shoulders, now that Allah has strengthened Islam and driven away disbelief (2) (3) [and its people] (4)? Even so, we will not abandon anything we used to do with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” (This was related by Aḥmad (5), Abū Dāwūd (6), Ibn Mājah (7), and al-Bayhaqī (8) through the chain of Hishām ibn Saʿd (9) from Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father.) (10)

All of this rebuts Ibn ʿAbbās and those who followed him in claiming that jogging (11) is not a Sunnah. The Prophet ﷺ only introduced it when he and his Companions arrived on the morning of the fourth day—that is, during the ʿUmrah of compensation—

and the idolaters had said, “Delegates will come to you weakened by the fever of Yathrib.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ therefore ordered them to jog the first three circuits and to walk (12) between the two corners, withholding them (13) from jogging the whole seven only to spare their strength (14). This is authentically established in the two Ṣaḥīḥs (15).

Nevertheless, Ibn ʿAbbās used to deny that jogging occurred during the Farewell Pilgrimage, although the sound reports cited above—indeed, with further clarification—prove that the jogging ran from the Black Stone to the Black Stone, and that he did not walk between the two Yemeni corners once the weakness in question had disappeared.

A rigorously authentic ḥadīth likewise states, on Ibn ʿAbbās’s authority, that they jogged during the ʿUmrah of al-Jiʿrānah (17).
