Sunan Ibn Majah 2950 (Book 25, Hadith 69) #32304
Performing Tawaf Around The Kaaba

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Ibn Umar used to perform Tawaf around the Kaaba by walking briskly with short steps in the first three circuits, and walking normally in the last four.

It was narrated from Nafi’, from Ibn 'Umar that when the Messenger of Allah performed Tawaf around the House for the first time, he walked briskly with short steps in the first three circuits, and walked normally in the last four, starting and ending at the Hijr.* And Ibn 'Umar used to do that.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ كَانَ إِذَا طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ الطَّوَافَ الأَوَّلَ رَمَلَ ثَلاَثَةً وَمَشَى أَرْبَعَةً مِنَ الْحَجَرِ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَفْعَلُهُ
