أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرٌ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَزَلَ - يَعْنِي - عَنِ الصَّفَا حَتَّى إِذَا انْصَبَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي الْوَادِي رَمَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا صَعِدَ مَشَى .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2983
This hadith gives a clear order of movement during Sai. Jabir narrated that the Messenger of Allah came down from As-Safa until he reached the level ground in the valley. Then he hastened, described as Ramal, until the ground rose. After that, he walked. The core topic is Sai and Ramal. The narration is helpful because it mentions both actions in one report: hastening in the valley and walking when the ground rose again. It does not speak about unrelated acts of Hajj, nor does it describe all of Sai in full. It gives a precise part of the Prophet's practice, making it useful for people searching how the Prophet performed Sai between Safa and Marwah.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet came down from As-Safa before reaching the valley.
- He performed Ramal in the level part of the valley.
- He walked again after the ground rose.
