Chapter on Forgetfulness in Sa'i Between Safa and Marwah
وَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ سِتَّةَ أَشْوَاطٍ وَ هُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا سَبْعَةٌ فَذَكَرَ بَعْدَ مَا أَحَلَّ وَ وَاقَعَ اَلنِّسَاءَ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا طَافَ سِتَّةً قَالَ «عَلَيْهِ بَقَرَةٌ يَذْبَحُهَا وَ يَطُوفُ شَوْطاً آخَرَ ».
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked about a man who performed six circuits (Ashwat) between Safa and Marwah, thinking they were seven, and later, after having become lawful (Halal) and engaging in relations with women, realized that he had only completed six. Imam عليه السلام said: "He must sacrifice a cow and complete one more circuit (Shawt)."
