Chapter on Forgetfulness in the Two Rakat Prayer of Tawaf
رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ وَ نَسِيَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى طَافَ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قَالَ «يُعْلِمُ ذَلِكَ اَلْمَكَانَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فَيُصَلِّي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ ». رَوَى ذَلِكَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «فَبِأَيِّ اَلْخَبَرَيْنِ أَخَذَ جَازَ» قَالَ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ نَسِيَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ خَلْفَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَتَّى اِرْتَحَلَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَالَ «فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا حَيْثُ ذَكَرَ وَ إِنْ ذَكَرَهُمَا وَ هُوَ بِالْبَلَدِ فَلاَ يَبْرَحْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُمَا ».
It is narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said regarding a man who performed the obligatory circumambulation (Tawaf) but forgot the two units of prayer (Rak’ahs) and then completed the Sa’y (walking between Safa and Marwah) before remembering: "He should identify the place where he was during Sa’y, then return and pray the two Rak’ahs, and then resume his position to complete the rest." This narration is also reported by Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام who said: "Whichever of the two reports he acts upon is acceptable." I asked him further: "What if a man forgets the two Rak’ahs behind the Maqam of Ibrahim عليه السلام and does not remember until after he has left Makkah?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Let him pray them wherever he remembers. However, if he remembers while still in the city, he should not leave until he performs them."
