25. Ḥajj (Pilgrimage)

٢٥۔ كتاب الحج

25.69 The Prophet ﷺ offered a two rak'ã prayer after his seven rounds (of Tawaf of the Ka'bah)

٢٥۔٦٩ باب صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِسُبُوعِهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ

[Machine] And Nafi' said: Ibn 'Umar used to pray two Rak'ahs for every (ritual) circumambulation (of the Ka'bah). And Isma'il ibn 'Umayyah said: I said to Al-Zuhri: Indeed, 'Ata' says that the written (Sunnah) prayers suffice for the two Rak'ahs of circumambulation. He (Al-Zuhri) said: The Sunnah is better. The Prophet ﷺ never performed a circumambulation without praying two Rak'ahs.

وَقَالَ نَافِعٌ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ مَا يُصَلِّي لِكُلِّ سُبُوعٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ قُلْتُ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ إِنَّ عَطَاءً يَقُولُ تُجْزِئُهُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ مِنْ رَكْعَتَيِ الطَّوَافِ. فَقَالَ السُّنَّةُ أَفْضَلُ، لَمْ يَطُفِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سُبُوعًا قَطُّ إِلاَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ.

We asked Ibn ʿUmar: "May a man have sexual relations with his wife during the Umra before performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived (in Mecca) and circumambulated the Kaʿba seven times, then offered two rakʿat behind Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Abraham), then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn ʿUmar added, "Verily! In Allah's Apostle you have a good example." And I asked Jabir bin ʿAbdullah (the same question), and he replied, "You should not go near your wives (have sexual relations) till you have finished Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. "  

البخاري:١٦٢٣حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو سَأَلْنَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ أَيَقَعُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فِي الْعُمْرَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطُوفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ

قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا ثُمَّ صَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَقَالَ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ فَقَالَ لاَ يَقْرَبِ امْرَأَتَهُ حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ
