Chapter on Miscellaneous Narrations Regarding Tawaf.
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."
