Chapter on Forgetfulness During Circumambulation (tawaf)
وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ: سَأَلَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَ أَنَا مَعَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سِتَّةَ أَشْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «وَ كَيْفَ يَطُوفُ سِتَّةَ أَشْوَاطٍ» فَقَالَ اِسْتَقْبَلَ اَلْحَجَرَ فَقَالَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ عَقَدَ وَاحِداً فَقَالَ «يَطُوفُ شَوْطاً» قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَإِنْ فَاتَهُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَتَى أَهْلَهُ قَالَ «يَأْمُرُ مَنْ يَطُوفُ عَنْهُ.
It is narrated from al-Hasan ibn Atiyyah, who said: Sulayman ibn Khalid, while I was with him, asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who performed six rounds of tawaf around the Kaaba. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "How does he perform six rounds?" Sulayman replied: "He faced the Black Stone, said 'Allahu Akbar,' and counted one." Imam عليه السلام said: "He should complete one more round." Sulayman then asked: "What if he missed this and returned to his family?" Imam عليه السلام said: "He should arrange for someone to perform the remaining round on his behalf."
