Chapter on Miscellaneous Narrations Regarding Tawaf.
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."
