3 hadiths
رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَدْخُلُ فِي اَلسَّعْيِ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ فَيَدْخُلُ وَقْتُ اَلصَّلاَةِ أَ يُخَفِّفُ أَوْ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَعُودُ أَوْ يَلْبَثُ كَمَا هُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ فَقَالَ «أَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمَا مَسْجِدٌ لَهُ لاَ بَلْ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَعُودُ» قُلْتُ وَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "A man starts performing Sa'i (ritual walking) between Safa and Marwah, and the time for prayer begins. Should he hasten to complete it, or should he pray first and then return to complete it, or should he remain in his current state until he finishes?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Isn't there a mosque between the two (Safa and Marwah)? No, rather he should pray first and then return to complete it." I asked: "And can he sit on Safa and Marwah?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes."

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلنُّعْمَانِ وَ صَفْوَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى اَلْأَزْرَقِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ فَيَسْعَى ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً فَيَلْقَاهُ اَلصَّدِيقُ فَيَدْعُوهُ إِلَى اَلْحَاجَةِ أَوْ إِلَى اَلطَّعَامِ قَالَ «إِنْ أَجَابَهُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَ لَكِنْ يَقْضِي حَقَّ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ حَقَّ صَاحِبِهِ ».
Ali ibn al-Nu'man and Safwan narrated from Yahya al-Azraq, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام about a man performing Sa'i (ritual walking) between Safa and Marwah. If he completes three or four circuits and then meets a friend who invites him to fulfill a need or to have food, what should he do? Imam عليه السلام replied: "If he responds to him, there is no harm in it, but fulfilling the right of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, is more beloved to me than fulfilling the right of his companion."

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعَيْتُ شَوْطاً ثُمَّ طَلَعَ اَلْفَجْرُ فَقَالَ «صَلِّ ثُمَّ عُدْ فَأَتِمَّ سَعْيَكَ».
It was narrated from Ibn Faddal who said: Muhammad ibn Ali asked Imam Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام: "I completed one circuit of Sa'i (ritual walking), and then the dawn (Fajr) appeared." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Pray, then return and complete your Sa'i."
