فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِي بَيْضِ الْقَطَاةِ بَكَارَةٌ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ إِذَا أَصَابَهُ الْمُحْرِمُ مِثْلُ مَا فِي بَيْضِ النَّعَامِ بَكَارَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ[1].
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is in the book of Ali (a.s.), that the ransom for breaking the egg of a sandgrouse is one young ewe, just as for the egg of an ostrich the ransom is one young she camel.’”
مَرَّ عَلِيٌّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَأْكُلُونَ جَرَاداً فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ- فَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ صَيْدِ الْبَحْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ارْمُوهُ فِي الْمَاءِ إِذاً.
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said that once Ali (a.s.), passed by a people who were eating locusts. He said Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) and you are in the state of Ihram! They said, ‘It is of the object of hunting from the sea.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If that is the case, then throw them in the sea.’”

“I once said to Abu `Abdillah (a.s.), 'I began my obligatory Tawaf but did not know any prayer to say except the prayers upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. During Sa'y I also said that.' He (the Imam) said, 'No one among those who ask is given what you have been given.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Once I was performing Tawaf with my father (a.s.), and when he reached the Black Stone he touched it with his hand and kissed. When he reached al-Yemaniy corner he held it (with his hands). I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, how is it that you tou

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has assigned a Hijjir (persistent in doing something) angel on al-Yemaniy corner who says ‘Amen’ when you pray to Allah.’”
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَلَكاً مُوَكَّلًا بِالرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ مُنْذُ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ هِجِّيرٌ إِلَّا التَّأْمِينَ عَلَى دُعَائِكُمْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ عَبْدٌ بِمَا يَدْعُو فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا الْهِجِّيرُ فَقَالَ كَلَامٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ الْعَرَبِ أَيْ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى لَيْسَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ.
“I once heard abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘There is an angel assigned on al-Yemaniy corner from the time Allah created the heavens and the earth. This angel has no Hijjir except saying, ‘Amen’ for your prayers, so a servant of Allah should consider what to appeal for in his prayer.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What

‘Which of these has a greater importance?’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause; you know better than I do.’ He (the Imam) repeated his question to me.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When you complete your Tawaf and reach the backside of al-Ka‘

“Once a man came to see Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), and he (the Imam) asked him, ’Have you come to perform al-Hajj?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I intend to do so. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Do you know what the reward for al-Hajj is?’ He replied, ‘No, I do not know.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘For one who comes to perform al-Hajj, walks sev
كَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ مَنْ طَافَ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ أُسْبُوعاً وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي أَيِّ جَوَانِبِ الْمَسْجِدِ شَاءَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سِتَّةَ آلَافِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ سِتَّةَ آلَافِ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ سِتَّةَ آلَافِ دَرَجَةٍ وَ قَضَى لَهُ سِتَّةَ آلَافِ حَاجَةٍ فَمَا عَجَّلَ مِنْهَا فَبِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَا أَخَّرَ مِنْهَا فَشَوْقاً إِلَى دُعَائِهِ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that my father would say, ‘For one who performs Tawaf around this House seven times and performs two Rak‘at salat (prayer), anywhere in the Masjid al- Haram (the Sacred Masjid), Allah writes for him six thousand good deeds. He deletes six thousand of his sinful deeds, raises for him six
مَنْ أَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ سَنَةً فَالطَّوَافُ أَفْضَلُ لَهُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ مَنْ أَقَامَ سَنَتَيْنِ خَلَطَ مِنْ ذَا وَ مِنْ ذَا وَ مَنْ أَقَامَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَفْضَلَ لَهُ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ.
“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that for one who resides in Makkah for one year, Tawaf is more excellent than salat (prayer). One who resides in Makkah for two years should perform sometimes Tawaf and sometimes salat (prayer). For one who resides in Makkah for three years, performing salat (prayer) is more excellent
الطَّوَافُ لِغَيْرِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصَّلَاةُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَفْضَلُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that performing Tawaf is more excellent for those who do not reside in Makkah, and for those who reside in Makkah, performing salat (prayer) is more excellent.”
طَوَافٌ قَبْلَ الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ طَوَافٍ بَعْدَ الْحَجِّ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that performing Tawaf before al-Hajj is more excellent than seventy Tawaf after al-Hajj.”
إِنْ كَانَ طَافَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ أَمَرَ مَنْ يَطُوفُ عَنْهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ فَقَدْ تَمَّ طَوَافُهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ طَافَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ وَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الطَّوَافِ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مِمَّا غَلَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ الطَّوَافَ يَوْماً وَ يَوْمَيْنِ فَإِنْ خَلَّتْهُ الْعِلَّةُ عَادَ فَطَافَ أُسْبُوعاً وَ إِنْ طَالَتْ عِلَّتُهُ أَمَرَ مَنْ يَطُوفُ عَنْهُ أُسْبُوعاً وَ يُصَلِّي هُ
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf then something happens, because of which he cannot complete. He (the Imam) said, Tf he has performed four times Tawaf (walking around the House) he can appoint someone to complete the other three times Tawaf (walking around the House) for him
فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي طَوَافِ فَرِيضَةٍ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُ صَلَاةُ فَرِيضَةٍ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ طَوَافَهُ وَ يُصَلِّي الْفَرِيضَةَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ وَ يُتِمُّ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ.
“About a man who is in an obligatory Tawaf and obligatory Salat (prayer) commences, abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He can keep his Tawaf on hold, perform obligatory Salat (prayer), then return to his Tawaf where he had left to complete the remaining parts.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي الطَّوَافِ قَدْ طَافَ بَعْضَهُ وَ بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُ فَيَطْلُعُ الْفَجْرُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ إِلَى الْحِجْرِ أَوْ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْمَسْجِدِ إِذَا كَانَ لَمْ يُوتِرْ فَيُوتِرُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فَيُتِمُّ طَوَافَهُ أَ فَتَرَى ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ أَمْ يُتِمُّ الطَّوَافَ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ وَ إِنْ أَسْفَرَ بَعْضَ الْإِسْفَارِ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِالْوَتْرِ وَ اقْطَعِ الطّ
“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who has performed certain parts of his Tawaf and certain parts are still left and it becomes dawn. He comes out of Tawaf to al-Hijr or other parts of Masjid, and if he has not said al-Witr to say it, then comes back to complete the remaining parts of his Tawaf. Is this more

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in an obligatory Tawaf, and Salat (prayer) commences. He (the Imam) said, ‘He can perform obligatory Salat (prayer) with them and after Salat (prayer), continue his Tawaf from where he had left it on hold.’”

“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘If a man becomes tired in Tawaf can he rest? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he rests and then stands up to perform the remaining of the obligatory Tawaf or other kinds of Tawaf and so also is the case with him during other acts.’”
نَعَمْ أَنَا قَدْ كَانَتْ تُوضَعُ لِي مِرْفَقَةٌ فَأَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهَا.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about a man who rests during his Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so. For me a resting arrangement was made so I could sit on it to rest.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ شَكَّ فِي طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ قَالَ يُعِيدُ كُلَّمَا شَكَّ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ شَكَّ فِي طَوَافِ نَافِلَةٍ قَالَ يَبْنِي عَلَى الْأَقَلِ[2].
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who doubts in obligatory Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must do it again whenever he doubts.’ I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, what if one doubts in optional Tawaf? He (the Imam) said, ‘He considers it to be of the lesser amount.’”

“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 (

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who performs the acts of al-Hajj; if he can do them without wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, except Tawaf around the House; in which there is Salat (prayer).”’ NOTE: Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), a sim

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf without Tahur (cleansing).

“I saw abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s.), performing the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after obligatory Tawaf in front of Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, near the shadow of the Masjid.”

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf and completes it at sunset. He (the Imam) said, ‘At that hour two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) become obligatory on him and he must perform them before sunset.’”
قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع أُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْ طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ حَيْثُ هُوَ السَّاعَةَ أَوْ حَيْثُ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ حَيْثُ هُوَ السَّاعَةَ.

“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said, ‘I do not see people follow al-Hassan and al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, in Salat (prayer) except Salat (prayer) after al-‘Asr (sunset) and after the morning (sunrise) in obligatory Tawaf.’”

“One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘Man should perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after obligatory or optional Tawaf with Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad and Surah (Chapter) 109.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ الطَّوَافَ الْوَاجِبَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ أَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَا تَمْنَعُوا النَّاسَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَتَمْنَعُوهُمْ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ.
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf after al-‘ Asr; if he can perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after Tawaf when he completes his Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so. Has it not come to your notice that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muha
لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْ طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ إِلَّا عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فَأَمَّا التَّطَوُّعُ فَحَيْثُ شِئْتَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ.
‘It is not proper for one to perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after an obligatory Tawaf anywhere other than near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam; however, the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after optional Tawaf can be performed anywhere in the Masjid.’”

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about my performing Tawaf in which after the fourth round of walking around the House I became tired: if I could perform its two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) in a sitting position. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, you cannot do so.’ I then asked, ‘What should a person do in such case while in Salat

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who forgets to perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after Tawaf of al-Hajj or al-‘Umrah near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he is in town he must perform the two Rak‘at near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, because Alla

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who forgets the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) behind Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and does not remember until he leaves Makkah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must perform them when he remembers. If he remembers when he still is in the town, he must not leave before

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who does not perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after obligatory Tawaf until he performs Tawaf (Sa‘y) between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He then performs Tawaf al-Nisa’ and does not perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) until he remembers it in al-Abtah; then he performs

‘He could have performed them where he remembered.’”

“A man performs obligatory Tawaf but he forgets the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) until his performing Tawaf (Sa‘y) between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He must mark the place and then go back to perform the two Rak‘at and return to his place where he had left to complete it.’”

“I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a man who performs an obligatory Tawaf but he does not perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer). He then performs Tawaf (Sa‘y) between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and Tawaf al-Nisa’, but does not perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) af

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who enters Makkah after al ‘Asr. He then performs Tawaf (walking around the House) and we had taught him how to perform Salat (prayer) but he forgets and sits until sunset. He then sees people performing Tawaf. He then performs another Tawaf before performing the two Rak‘at

“We performed Tawaf al-Nisa’ around the House but forgot the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer). When we arrived in Mina’, we remembered the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer). We then went to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and asked him about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must perform them in Mina’.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), 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

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), about a woman who had made a vow to perform Tawaf on all-fours; legs and arms, said, ‘She must perform Tawaf once for her legs and once for her arms.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that after performing two Rak‘at salat (prayer) you should go to the Black Stone, kiss, touch it and point toward it; it should be done.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you can drink from Zamzam before leaving for al-Safa’, it is better, and when drinking say, ‘O Allah, make it useful knowledg

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when a man completes Tawaf and the two Rak‘at salat (prayer), he should go to Zamzam. He should take one or two containers full of water, drink, pour on his h

He (the Imam) performed Salat (prayer) behind Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, then went in Zamzam, took water with his hand with the bucket which is next to al-Hajar, drank from it and poured on certain parts of his bod

He (the Imam) said, ‘Is there no there Masjid on them? No, he must perfor
