Chapter on Miscellaneous Narrations Regarding Tawaf.
وَ سَأَلَ أَبَانٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ طَوَافٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ فَقَالَ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَطُوفُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ اَلنَّهَارِ عَشَرَةَ أَسَابِيعَ ثَلاَثَةً أَوَّلَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ ثَلاَثَةً آخِرَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ اِثْنَيْنِ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ اِثْنَيْنِ بَعْدَ اَلظُّهْرِ وَ كَانَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ رَاحَتُهُ.
Aban asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "Did the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) have a specific pattern of circumambulation that he was known for?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to perform ten asbu‘an (sets of seven laps) of circumambulation during the day and night: three at the beginning of the night, three at the end of the night, two in the morning, and two after noon. Between these, he would take his rest."
