1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هِلالٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ أَوَّلُ مَا يُظْهِرُ الْقَائِمُ مِنَ الْعَدْلِ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ مُنَادِيهِ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ صَاحِبُ النَّافِلَةِ لِصَاحِبِ الْفَرِيضَةِ الْحَجَرَ الأَسْوَدَ وَالطَّوَافَ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others have narrated from Ahmad ibn Hilal from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the first instance of justice that will be practiced after the reappearance of al-Qa’im, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, is that an announcer will announce this, ‘Those who perform optional al-Hajj must give a chance to those performing obligatory al-Hajj to reach the Black Stone.”’

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الأَعْرَجِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الطَّوَافِ أَ يَكْتَفِي الرَّجُلُ بِإِحْصَاءِ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Sa‘id al-‘Araj who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man if he can consider counting the number of his Tawaf by his companion as sufficient. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’”

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَيُّوبَ أَخِي أُدَيْمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الْقِرَاءَةُ وَأَنَا أَطُوفُ أَفْضَلُ أَوْ أَذْكُرُ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ الْقِرَاءَةُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ مَرَّ بِسَجْدَةٍ وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ قَالَ يُومِىُ بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Abd al-Karim ibn ‘Amr from Ayyub brother of ‘Udaym who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about reading from al-Quran or speaking of Allah, most Blessed, most High, and that which one is more virtuous when I perform Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘Reading is more virtuous.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if one comes across a passage for which Sajdah (prostration) is obligatory.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must make a gesture with his head toward al-Ka‘bah.’”

4ـ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْحَنْظَلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا تَطُوفَنَّ بِالْبَيْتِ وَعَلَيْكَ بُرْطُلَةٌ.

4. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Muthanna’ from Ziyad ibn Yahya al-Hanzaliy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘You must not perform Tawaf wearing burtulah (a certain kind of cap).”’

5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْفَرَجِ قَالَ سَأَلَ أَبَانٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) طَوَافٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَطُوفُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ عَشَرَةَ أَسَابِيعَ ثَلاثَةً أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَثَلاثَةً آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ وَاثْنَيْنِ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَاثْنَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ وَكَانَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ رَاحَتُهُ.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from abu al-Faraj who has said the following: “Aban once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘Is there any kind of Tawaf known as Tawaf 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, ‘The Messenger of Allah would, during one night and day, perform ten Tawafs; three in the beginning of the night, three toward the end of the night, two at dawn and two at noontime, and the remaining time in between was for his rest.’”

6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أُمَّ فَرْوَةَ تَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ عَلَيْهَا كِسَاءٌ مُتَنَكِّرَةً فَاسْتَلَمَتِ الْحَجَرَ بِيَدِهَا الْيُسْرَى فَقَالَ لَهَا رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ يَطُوفُ يَا أَمَةَ الله أَخْطَأْتِ السُّنَّةَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّا لأَغْنِيَاءُ عَنْ عِلْمِكَ.

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Dawud ibn Farqad from ‘Abd al-‘Ala’ who has said the following: “I saw ‘Umm Farwah perform Tawaf around the Ka‘bah wearing a colorless gown. She touched the Black Stone with her left hand and a man said, ‘O female servant of Allah, you made a mistake in following the noble tradition (of the Holy Prophet).’ ‘We are not in need of your knowledge,’ she responded.”

7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَ تَدْرِي لِمَ سُمِّيَتِ الطَّائِفَ قُلْتُ لا قَالَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لَمَّا دَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنْ يَرْزُقَ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ قَطَعَ لَهُمْ قِطْعَةً مِنَ الأَرْدَنِ فَأَقْبَلَتْ حَتَّى طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعاً ثُمَّ أَقَرَّهَا الله فِي مَوْضِعِهَا وَإِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتِ الطَّائِفَ لِلطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ.

7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad who has said the following: “Once abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, asked me, ‘Why is the name al-Ta’if?’ I (the narrator) replied, ‘No, I do not know.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When Ibrahim, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, prayed to his Lord to provide his family with sustenance, Allah cut a piece of land from ’ Adan (a mountain in al-Sham). It came and performed Tawaf around the House seven times then Allah set it in its place and it is called al-Ta’if because of its performing Tawaf around the House.’”

8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ زِيَادٍ الْقَنْدِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أَكُونُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى النَّاسِ يَطُوفُونَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَأَنَا قَاعِدٌ فَأَغْتَمُّ لِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا زِيَادُ لا عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ يَؤُمُّ الْحَجَّ لا يَزَالُ فِي طَوَافٍ وَسَعْيٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ.

8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Ziyad al-Qandiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, when I am in Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid) and see people perform Tawaf around the House and I am sitting, I feel sad.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O Ziyad, do not be disappointed. When a believing person comes out of his home with the intention to perform al-Hajj, he is considered performing Tawaf and Sa‘y all the time until he is back home.’”

9ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ هَيْثَمٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ صَاحِبَةٌ لا تَسْتَطِيعُ الْقِيَامَ عَلَى رِجْلِهَا فَحَمَلَهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي مَحْمِلٍ فَطَافَ بِهَا طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ الطَّوَافُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ طَوَافُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ إِيهاً الله إِذاً.

9. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Haytham al-Tamimiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man whose female companion is not able to stand up on her legs so he places her in a carriage and walks with her to perform an obligatory Tawaf around the House and between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah; if it is sufficient for his Tawaf also. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, by Allah it is sufficient.’” (Hadith 9 of this Chapter is best explained by Fatwa)

10ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ دَعِ الطَّوَافَ وَأَنْتَ تَشْتَهِيهِ.
