رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ وَ يَسْعَى ثُمَّ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ تَطَوُّعاً قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقَصِّرَ قَالَ «مَا يُعْجِبُنِي ».
Asim ibn Humayd narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: "I asked Abu Ja'far عليه السلام about a man who performs Tawaf and Sa'i and then performs additional Tawaf around the Ka'bah voluntarily before cutting his hair (Taqsir). Imam عليه السلام said: 'I do not approve of it.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 151
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ هَيْثَمٍ اَلتَّمِيمِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ صَاحِبَتُهُ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُ اَلْقِيَامَ عَلَى رِجْلِهَا فَحَمَلَهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي مَحْمِلٍ فَطَافَ بِهَا طَوَافَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ بِالصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ أَ يُجْزِيهِ ذَلِكَ اَلطَّوَافُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ طَوَافُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ «إِيهاً وَ اَللَّهِ إِذاً».
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Haytham al-Tamimi, who said: "I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man whose wife was unable to stand on her feet, so he carried her in a litter and performed the Tawaf of obligation around the Ka'bah and the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah with her. Would that Tawaf suffice for himself as well? Imam عليه السلام replied: 'Indeed, by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, it would.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 151
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْهُذَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى عَدَدِ صَاحِبَتِهِ فِي اَلطَّوَافِ أَ يُجْزِيهِ عَنْهُمَا وَ عَنِ اَلصَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ أَ لاَ تَرَى أَنَّكَ تَأْتَمُّ بِالْإِمَامِ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَهُ وَ هُوَ مِثْلُهُ ».
Ibn Muskan narrated from al-Hudhayl, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a man who relies on counting the circuits of his companion during Tawaf (circumambulation) and whether it suffices for both of them and for a child. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes. Do you not see that you follow the Imam in prayer when you pray behind him? It is similar to that."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ سَأَلَهُ سَعِيدٌ اَلْأَعْرَجُ: عَنِ اَلطَّوَافِ أَ يَكْتَفِي اَلرَّجُلُ بِإِحْصَاءِ صَاحِبِهِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ».
Sa'id al-A'raj asked Imam عليه السلام about Tawaf (circumambulation) and whether a man can suffice with the counting of his companion. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 151
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ: رَآنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَطُوفُ حَوْلَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ وَ عَلَيَّ بُرْطُلَةٌ فَقَالَ «بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَطُوفُ حَوْلَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بُرْطُلَةٌ لاَ تَلْبَسْهَا حَوْلَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ زِيِّ اَلْيَهُودِ.
Safwan narrated from Yazid ibn Khalifa, who said: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام saw me circumambulating the Ka'bah while wearing a burṭula (a type of footwear), and Imam عليه السلام said: "After this, you circumambulate the Ka'bah while wearing a burṭula? Do not wear it while circumambulating the Ka'bah, for it is from the attire of the Jews."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ تَطُوفَ ثَلاَثَمِائَةٍ وَ سِتِّينَ أُسْبُوعاً عَدَدَ أَيَّامِ اَلسَّنَةِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَثَلاَثَمِائَةٍ وَ سِتِّينَ شَوْطاً فَإِنَّ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَمَا قَدَرْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلطَّوَافِ ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "It is recommended to perform three hundred and sixty circuits (asbu‘an, i.e., sets of seven laps) of circumambulation, corresponding to the days of the year. If you are unable to do so, then three hundred and sixty laps (shautan, individual circuits). And if you are unable to do that, then whatever amount of circumambulation you are capable of."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ سَأَلَ أَبَانٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ طَوَافٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ فَقَالَ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَطُوفُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ اَلنَّهَارِ عَشَرَةَ أَسَابِيعَ ثَلاَثَةً أَوَّلَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ ثَلاَثَةً آخِرَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ اِثْنَيْنِ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ اِثْنَيْنِ بَعْدَ اَلظُّهْرِ وَ كَانَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ رَاحَتُهُ.
Aban asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "Did the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) have a specific pattern of circumambulation that he was known for?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to perform ten asbu‘an (sets of seven laps) of circumambulation during the day and night: three at the beginning of the night, three at the end of the night, two in the morning, and two after noon. Between these, he would take his rest."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ سَأَلَهُ سَعِيدٌ اَلْأَعْرَجُ: عَنِ اَلْمُسْرِعِ وَ اَلْمُبْطِئِ فِي اَلطَّوَافِ فَقَالَ «كُلٌّ وَاسِعٌ مَا لَمْ يُؤْذِ أَحَداً ».
Sa'id al-A'raj asked Imam عليه السلام about those who are fast and those who are slow in circumambulation. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Both are permissible as long as no one is harmed."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 151
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلنُّعْمَانِ عَنْ يَحْيَى اَلْأَزْرَقِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي طُفْتُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فَعَيِيتُ أَ فَأُصَلِّي رَكَعَاتِهَا وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ قَالَ «لاَ» قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ إِذَا أَعْيَا أَوْ وَجَدَ فَتْرَةً وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ «يَطُوفُ اَلرَّجُلُ جَالِساً » فَقُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ «فَتُصَلِّيهِمَا وَ أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ».
Ali ibn al-Nu'man narrated from Yahya al-Azraq, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام: "I performed four circuits of circumambulation and became tired. Should I pray the associated two units of prayer while sitting?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "No." I asked: "And how should a person pray the night prayer if he becomes tired or feels weakness while sitting?" Imam عليه السلام said: "A person circumambulates while sitting." I said: "No." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Then perform the prayer while standing."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَهَا أَنْ يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى وَجْهِ اَلْجَهَالَةِ أَعَادَ اَلْحَجَّ وَ عَلَيْهِ بَدَنَةٌ».
Ali ibn Abi Hamza narrated from Imam Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام: He was asked about a man who forgot to perform the circumambulation around the Kaaba (Tawaf) until he returned to his family. Imam عليه السلام replied: "If it was out of ignorance, he must repeat the Hajj and offer a sacrifice of a camel."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَرَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، قَالَ: "مَنْ أَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ سَنَةً فَٱلطَّوَافُ لَهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، وَمَنْ أَقَامَ سَنَتَيْنِ خَلَطَ مِنْ ذَا وَذَا، وَمَنْ أَقَامَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ لَهُ أَفْضَلَ."
Hisham ibn al-Hakam narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "Whoever resides in Mecca for one year, circumambulation (Tawaf) is better for him than prayer. Whoever resides for two years, he should combine between this (Tawaf) and that (prayer). And whoever resides for three years, prayer becomes better for him."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 151
وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ تُحْصِيَ أُسْبُوعَكَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Imam عليه السلام that he said: "It is recommended to count your weekly circumambulations (Tawaf) for each day and night."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ بَابِ اَلصَّفَا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا قَدِ اِخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ اَلَّذِي يَلِي اَلسِّقَايَةَ وَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ اَلَّذِي يَسْتَقْبِلُ اَلْحَجَرَ اَلْأَسْوَدَ فَقَالَ «وَ اَلَّذِي يَسْتَقْبِلُ اَلْحَجَرَ وَ اَلَّذِي يَلِي اَلسِّقَايَةَ مُحْدَثٌ صَنَعَهُ دَاوُدُ وَ فَتَحَهُ دَاوُدُ ».
Safwan narrated from Abdul Hamid ibn Sa'd, who said: "I asked Abu Ibrahim عليه السلام about the location of the Safa gate. I mentioned to him that our companions differed regarding it—some say it is the one facing the water station, and others say it is the one facing the Black Stone. Imam عليه السلام said: 'It is the one facing the Black Stone. The one facing the water station is a new addition, created by Dawood and opened by him.'"
