1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ طَوَافِكَ فَائْتِ مَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَاجْعَلْهُ أَمَاماً وَاقْرَأْ فِي الأُولَى مِنْهُمَا سُورَةَ التَّوْحِيدِ قُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدْ وَاحْمَدِ الله وَأَثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَاسْأَلْهُ أَنْ يَتَقَبَّلَ مِنْكَ وَهَاتَانِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ هُمَا الْفَرِيضَةُ لَيْسَ يُكْرَهُ لَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَهُمَا فِي أَيِّ السَّاعَاتِ شِئْتَ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا وَلا تُؤَخِّرْهُمَا سَاعَةَ تَطُوفُ وَتَفْرُغُ فَصَلِّهِمَا.


1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘When you complete your Tawaf, go to Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) and keep it in front of you. In the first Rak‘at read al-Tawhid, Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad and in the second Rak‘at, Qul ya Ayyu ha al-Kafirun (then say Tashahhud (testimonies of belief)), praise Allah, speak of His glory and say, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause and ask Him to accept from you. These two Rak‘at are obligatory and it is not detestable to perform them anytime during sunset or sunrise; and do not delay them for one Sa‘ah (one hour) after Tawaf. As soon as you perform Tawaf, then you must perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer).’”

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْ طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِحِيَالِ الْمَقَامِ قَرِيباً مِنْ ظِلالِ الْمَسْجِدِ.


2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Husayn ibn ‘Uthman who has said the following: “I saw abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s), performing the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after obligatory Tawaf in front of Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, near the shadow of the Masjid.”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَفَرَغَ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ حِينَ غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ الرَّكْعَتَانِ فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ.


3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz ibn ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s), about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf and completes it at sunset. He (the Imam) said, ‘At that hour two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) become obligatory on him and he must perform them before sunset.’”

4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْ طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ حَيْثُ هُوَ السَّاعَةَ أَوْ حَيْثُ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ حَيْثُ هُوَ السَّاعَةَ.


4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibrahim ibn abu Mahmud who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida’ (a.s), about the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after obligatory Tawaf behind Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam where it is today or where it was in the time of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause’. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is where it is today.’”

5ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ أَخَذُوا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) إِلاَّ الصَّلاةَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَبَعْدَ الْغَدَاةِ فِي طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ.


5. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan (a.s), has said, ‘I do not see people follow al-Hassan and al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, in Salat (prayer) except Salat (prayer) after al-‘Asr (sunset) and after the morning (sunrise) in obligatory Tawaf.’”

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ رَكْعَتَيِ الطَّوَافِ طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَالنَّافِلَةِ بِقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ.


6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘Man should perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after obligatory or optional Tawaf with Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad and Surah (Chapter) 109.’”

7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ الطَّوَافَ الْوَاجِبَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ أَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لا تَمْنَعُوا النَّاسَ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَتَمْنَعُوهُمْ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ.


7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Rifa’ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s), about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf after al-‘ Asr; if he can perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after Tawaf when he completes his Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so. Has it not come to your notice that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause,’ said, “O children of ‘Abd al-Muttalib, you must not prevent people from performing Salat (prayer) after al-‘Asr, because in so doing you prevent them from performing Tawaf.’””

8ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْ طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ إِلاَّ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَأَمَّا التَّطَوُّعُ فَحَيْثُ شِئْتَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ.


8. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from certain persons of our people from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Zurarah who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has stated this Hadith. ‘It is not proper for one to perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after an obligatory Tawaf anywhere other than near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam; however, the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after optional Tawaf can be performed anywhere in the Masjid.’”

9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ يَحْيَى الأَزْرَقِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي طُفْتُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فَأَعْيَيْتُ أَ فَأُصَلِّي رَكَعَاتِهَا وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ قَالَ لا قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ إِذَا اعْتَلَّ وَوَجَدَ فَتْرَةً صَلاةَ اللَّيْلِ جَالِساً وَهَذَا لا يُصَلِّي قَالَ فَقَالَ يَسْتَقِيمُ أَنْ تَطُوفَ وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ قُلْتُ لا قَالَ فَصَلِّ وَأَنْتَ قَائِمٌ.


9. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Yahya al- Arzaq who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s), about my performing Tawaf in which after the fourth round of walking around the House I became tired: if I could perform its two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) in a sitting position. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, you cannot do so.’ I then asked, ‘What should a person do in such case while in Salat (prayer) of night. In this case if one feels weakness, it is permissible to perform them in sitting position, and in this case it is not permissible.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Is it right to perform Tawaf and you are sitting?’ I replied, ‘No, it is not right.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Perform Salat (prayer) while you are standing.’”
