5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Ibrahim ibn ‘Umar al-Yemaniy from ‘Isma‘il ibn ‘Abd al- Khaliq who has said the following: “I was next to abu ‘Abd Allah , and with him (the Imam) was his son ‘Abd Allah and his other son born after him. A man asked him (the Imam), ‘May Allah keep you well, can a man perform Tawaf for a man who lives in Makkah and who has no difficulties?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, if that was permissible I would have asked my son so and so’ - mentioned the name of the smaller one - ‘to perform Tawaf on my behalf’- children were listening.’”
