1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الطَّوَافِ فَقُلْتُ أُسْرِعُ وَأُكْثِرُ أَوْ أُبْطِىُ قَالَ مَشْيٌ بَيْنَ الْمَشْيَيْنِ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Barqiy from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Sayabah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the manner of walking during Tawaf around the Ka‘bah as to how fast or how slow should I walk. He (the Imam) replied, ‘Walk moderately in between the two kinds of walking.’” (Fatwa best explains the following chapters).
