Ḥadīth 1

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ شِهَابٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي طَوَافِ فَرِيضَةٍ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُ صَلاةُ فَرِيضَةٍ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ طَوَافَهُ وَيُصَلِّي الْفَرِيضَةَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ وَيُتِمُّ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Shihab from Hisham who has said the following: “About a man who is in an obligatory Tawaf and obligatory Salat (prayer) commences, abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He can keep his Tawaf on hold, perform obligatory Salat (prayer), then return to his Tawaf where he had left to complete the remaining parts.’”

Ḥadīth 2

2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي الطَّوَافِ قَدْ طَافَ بَعْضَهُ وَبَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُ فَيَطْلُعُ الْفَجْرُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ إِلَى الْحِجْرِ أَوْ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْمَسْجِدِ إِذَا كَانَ لَمْ يُوتِرْ فَيُوتِرُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فَيُتِمُّ طَوَافَهُ أَ فَتَرَى ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ أَمْ يُتِمُّ الطَّوَافَ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ وَإِنْ أَسْفَرَ بَعْضَ الإِسْفَارِ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِالْوَتْرِ وَاقْطَعِ الطَّوَافَ إِذَا خِفْتَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَتِمَّ الطَّوَافَ بَعْدُ.

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who has performed certain parts of his Tawaf and certain parts are still left and it becomes dawn. He comes out of Tawaf to al-Hijr or other parts of Masjid, and if he has not said al-Witr to say it, then comes back to complete the remaining parts of his Tawaf. Is this more virtuous or to complete his Tawaf, then go for al-Witr even if it (the morning) becomes brighter to a certain degree? He (the Imam) said, ‘You can begin al-Witr and keep your Tawaf on hold, if you are afraid (of its getting brighter) thereafter complete your Tawaf.”’

Ḥadīth 3

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاةُ قَالَ يُصَلِّي مَعَهُمُ الْفَرِيضَةَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ بَنَى مِنْ حَيْثُ قَطَعَ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in an obligatory Tawaf, and Salat (prayer) commences. He (the Imam) said, ‘He can perform obligatory Salat (prayer) with them and after Salat (prayer), continue his Tawaf from where he had left it on hold.’”

Ḥadīth 4

4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الرَّجُلُ يُعْيِي فِي الطَّوَافِ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَرِيحَ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَسْتَرِيحُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَبْنِي عَلَى طَوَافِهِ فِي فَرِيضَةٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا وَيَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي سَعْيِهِ وَجَمِيعِ مَنَاسِكِهِ.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘If a man becomes tired in Tawaf can he rest? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he rests and then stands up to perform the remaining of the obligatory Tawaf or other kinds of Tawaf and so also is the case with him during other acts.’”

5ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَسْتَرِيحُ فِي طَوَافِهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَنَا قَدْ كَانَتْ تُوضَعُ لِي مِرْفَقَةٌ فَأَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهَا.

5. Al-Husayn ibn has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from ibn abu Ya’fur who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about a man who rests during his Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so. For me a resting arrangement was made so I could sit on it to rest.’”
