2831 - رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : فِي رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ وَ نَسِيَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى طَافَ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قَالَ «يُعْلِمُ ذَلِكَ اَلْمَكَانَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فَيُصَلِّي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ ». رَوَى ذَلِكَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «فَبِأَيِّ اَلْخَبَرَيْنِ أَخَذَ جَازَ» قَالَ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ نَسِيَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ خَلْفَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَتَّى اِرْتَحَلَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَالَ «فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا حَيْثُ ذَكَرَ وَ إِنْ ذَكَرَهُمَا وَ هُوَ بِالْبَلَدِ فَلاَ يَبْرَحْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُمَا ».

Hadith.2831 - It is narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said regarding a man who performed the obligatory circumambulation (Tawaf) but forgot the two units of prayer (Rak’ahs) and then completed the Sa’y (walking between Safa and Marwah) before remembering: "He should identify the place where he was during Sa’y, then return and pray the two Rak’ahs, and then resume his position to complete the rest." This narration is also reported by Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Ja'far (as) who said: "Whichever of the two reports he acts upon is acceptable." I asked him further: "What if a man forgets the two Rak’ahs behind the Maqam of Ibrahim (as) and does not remember until after he has left Makkah?" Imam (as) replied: "Let him pray them wherever he remembers. However, if he remembers while still in the city, he should not leave until he performs them."

2832 - قَالَ: وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ نَسِيَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ خَلْفَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَتَّى اِرْتَحَلَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَالَ «فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا حَيْثُ ذَكَرَ وَ إِنْ ذَكَرَهُمَا وَ هُوَ بِالْبَلَدِ فَلاَ يَبْرَحْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُمَا ».

Hadith.2832 - It is narrated that I said to Imam (as): "What about a man who forgets the two Rak’ahs (units of prayer) behind the Maqam of Ibrahim and does not remember until after he has departed from Makkah?" Imam (as) replied: "Let him pray them wherever he remembers. However, if he remembers while still in the city, he should not leave until he performs them."

Ḥadīth 3

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ مَضَى قَلِيلاً فَلْيَرْجِعْ فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا أَوْ يَأْمُرُ بَعْضَ اَلنَّاسِ فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا عَنْهُ ».

In a narration from Umar ibn Yazid, from Abu Abdullah (as): "If he has only gone a short distance, let him return and perform the two Rak'ahs (units of prayer). Alternatively, he may ask someone else to perform them on his behalf."

2833 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ رَكْعَتَيْ طَوَافِ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ وَ قَدْ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ مِنًى قَالَ «يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا ».

Hadith.2833 - Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id narrated from Ahmad ibn Umar, who said: "I asked Abu Al-Hasan (as) about a man who forgot the two Rak'ahs of the obligatory Tawaf and had already proceeded to Mina. He replied: 'He should return to the Maqam of Ibrahim (as) and perform them.'"

2834 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ : «أَنَّ اَلْجَاهِلَ فِي تَرْكِ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلنَّاسِي ».

Hadith.2834 - In a narration by Jamil ibn Darraj from one of the Imams (as), it is stated: "The one who is ignorant in leaving the two Rak'ahs at the Station of Ibrahim (as) is treated as one who forgets."
