رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ طَافَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَ اِسْتَلَمَ اَلْحَجَرَ بِمِحْجَنِهِ وَ سَعَى عَلَيْهَا بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ.
Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated: "I heard Abu Ja'far عليه السلام say: My father told me that the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, performed tawaf on his mount, touched the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) with his staff, and performed sa‘y between Safa and Marwah on it."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 149
وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: «أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُقَبِّلُ اَلْمِحْجَنَ ».
And in another narration: "It is mentioned that he would kiss the staff (mihjan)."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ: أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَرِضَ فَأَمَرَ غِلْمَانَهُ أَنْ يَحْمِلُوهُ وَ يَطُوفُوا بِهِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُخَطُّوا بِرِجْلِهِ اَلْأَرْضَ حَتَّى تَمَسَّ اَلْأَرْضَ قَدَمَاهُ فِي اَلطَّوَافِ. وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنِ اَلرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّمَا بَلَغَ إِلَى اَلرُّكْنِ اَلْيَمَانِيِّ.
It is narrated from Abu Basir: "Imam Abu Abdullah عليه السلام fell ill, so he instructed his attendants to carry him and circumambulate the Kaaba with him. He ordered them to drag his foot on the ground so that his feet would touch the ground during the circumambulation." And in another narration by Muhammad ibn al-Fudhayl from Al-Rabi ibn Khuthaym: "He would do this whenever he reached the Yemeni Corner (al-Rukn al-Yamani)."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ سَأَلَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمَرِيضِ اَلْمَغْلُوبِ يُطَافُ عَنْهُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ «لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يُطَافُ بِهِ ».
Ishaq ibn Ammar asked Imam Abu Ibrahim عليه السلام about a severely ill person who is unable to perform circumambulation around the Kaaba. The Imam عليه السلام replied: "No, but he should be carried and circumambulated with."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْكَسِيرُ يُحْمَلُ فَيَرْمِي اَلْجِمَارَ وَ اَلْمَبْطُونُ يُرْمَى عَنْهُ وَ يُصَلَّى عَنْهُ».
In a narration by Muawiyah ibn Ammar from Imam Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "The injured person (who cannot walk) should be carried to throw the pebbles at the Jamara, while for the person afflicted with severe illness (such as diarrhea), the stoning can be done on their behalf, and prayers can also be performed on their behalf."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 149
وقد روى معاوية عنه عليه السلام رخصة في الطواف والرمي عنهما.
Muawiyah also narrates leniency from the Imam, allowing both circumambulation and stoning to be performed on behalf of such individuals.
وَ قَالَ «فِي اَلصِّبْيَانِ يُطَافُ بِهِمْ وَ يُرْمَى عَنْهُمْ ».
Imam عليه السلام said: "For young children, they are carried for the circumambulation (Tawaf), and the stoning (Ramy) is performed on their behalf."
