Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 24, Hadith 343

It was narrated that Amr – meaning, bin Umar – said: “The Messenger of Allah came and circumambulated the House seven times, then he prayed two Rakahs behind the Maqam and performed Sai between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, and he said: ‘Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow.”

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا وَصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَقَالَ ‏{‏ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 24, Hadith 343

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century, the Sunan an-Nasa’i is a pillar of Sunni hadith literature. It is universally recognized as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah. The text is comprised of more than 5,700 individual narrations that meticulously document the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. What sets al-Nasa’i’s work apart is his exceptionally rigorous critical approach to evaluating the chains of narration. His deliberate exclusion of unreliable reports has led scholars throughout history to regard the Sunan as one of the most trustworthy and authoritative sources for authentic hadith.
