Hadith record

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from Sama‘ah ibn Mehran from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf but does not know if he has done six or seven or eight Tawaf (walking around the House). He (the Imam) said, ‘He must repeat until he establishes the right number.’ I then said that he had performed optionally eight times but he forgot. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must complete it in the form of two Tawaf, then perform four Rak‘at Salat (prayer), but in the case of obligatory Tawaf he must repeat until seven times Tawaf (walking around the House) is established.’”
