5 hadiths
رَوَى صَفْوَانُ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ طَافَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَطَافَ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ فَبَيْنَا هُوَ يَطُوفُ إِذْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَرَكَ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ «يَرْجِعُ إِلَى اَلْبَيْتِ فَيُتِمُّ طَوَافَهُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ فَيُتِمُّ مَا بَقِيَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ بَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِالْبَيْتِ قَالَ «يَأْتِي اَلْبَيْتَ فَيَطُوفُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَأْنِفُ طَوَافَهُ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ » قُلْتُ فَمَا اَلْفَرْقُ بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ قَالَ «لِأَنَّ هَذَا قَدْ دَخَلَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلطَّوَافِ وَ هَذَا لَمْ يَدْخُلْ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ».
Safwan narrated from Ishaq ibn Ammar: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who performed Tawaf around the Ka'bah and then went out to perform Sa’y between Safa and Marwah. While he was performing Sa’y, he remembered that he had left part of his Tawaf incomplete. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام replied: "He should return to the Ka'bah, complete his Tawaf, and then return to Safa and Marwah to finish the remaining Sa’y." I further asked: "What if he began with Safa and Marwah before performing Tawaf around the Ka'bah?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "He should go to the Ka'bah, perform Tawaf, and then restart his Sa’y between Safa and Marwah." I then inquired: "What is the difference between these two cases?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "In the first case, he had already entered into part of the Tawaf, whereas in the second case, he had not yet begun any part of it."

وَ سَأَلَهُ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَقْدَمُ حَاجّاً وَ قَدِ اِشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَرُّ فَيَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ وَ يُؤَخِّرُ اَلسَّعْيَ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْرُدَ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ وَ رُبَّمَا فَعَلْتُهُ ».
Abdullah ibn Sinan asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who arrives for Hajj and finds the heat unbearable, so he performs Tawaf around the Ka'bah but delays the Sa’y until it cools down. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام replied: "There is no harm in doing so, and I have sometimes done it myself."

    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 150
وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ: «يُؤَخِّرُهُ إِلَى اَللَّيْلِ ».
In another narration, it is stated: "He may delay it until the night."
  • Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi
    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَأَعْيَا أَ يُؤَخِّرُ اَلطَّوَافَ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ إِلَى غَدٍ قَالَ «لاَ».
Al-'Ala reported from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who narrated from one of the holy Imams عليه السلام saying: "I asked him about a man who circumambulated the House (Ka'bah) and became weary. Can he delay the Sa'y between Safa and Marwah until the next day?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "No."
  • Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi
    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 150
وَ سَأَلَهُ رِفَاعَةُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ فَيَدْخُلُ وَقْتُ اَلْعَصْرِ أَ يَسْعَى قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ أَوْ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْعَى قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ يَسْعَى ».
Rifa'a asked him about a man who is performing Tawaf around the House (Ka'bah) when the time for the Asr prayer begins. Should he perform Sa'y before praying, or should he pray before performing Sa'y? Imam عليه السلام replied: "There is no harm in praying first and then performing Sa'y."
