Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 139
12ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ثَلاثَةٍ دَخَلُوا فِي الطَّوَافِ فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ تَحَفَّظُوا الطَّوَافَ فَلَمَّا ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ فَرَغُوا قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مَعِي سِتَّةُ أَشْوَاطٍ قَالَ إِنْ شَكُّوا كُلُّهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَأْنِفُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشُكُّوا وَعَلِمَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا فِي يَدِهِ فَلْيَبْنُوا.
12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Safwan who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) عليه السلام, about the case of three people who commence Tawaf, and one of them says, ‘You must keep proper counts of the number of Tawaf.’ When they thought they had completed, one of them said, ‘With me it is six Tawaf.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If all of them doubt they must perform Tawaf again. If they do not have doubts and everyone knows the number of Tawaf with him they follow accordingly.’”
