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 (a.s.), ‘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.’”

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.”

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 (a.s.), asked me, ‘Why is the name al-Ta’if?’ I (the narrator) replied, ‘No, I do not know.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When Ibrahim (a.s.), 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.’”

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 (a.s.), 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.’”

He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, by Allah it is sufficient.’” (Hadith 9 of this Chapter is best explained by Fatwa)
