Hadith.2817 - Zurara said: "Sometimes I performed tawaf with Abu Ja'far (as) as he held my hand, completing two or three tawafs. Then he would leave and perform six units of prayer (rak‘at)."
«اَلْكَسِيرُ يُحْمَلُ فَيَرْمِي اَلْجِمَارَ وَ اَلْمَبْطُونُ يُرْمَى عَنْهُ وَ يُصَلَّى عَنْهُ».
Hadith.2822 - In a narration by Muawiyah ibn Ammar from Imam Abu Abdullah (as): "The injured person (who cannot walk) should be carried to throw the pebbles at the Jamara, while for the person afflicted with severe illness (such as diarrhea), the stoning can be done on their behalf, and prayers can also be performed on
لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ يَسْعَى[4].
Hadith.2828 - Rifa'a asked him about a man who is performing Tawaf around the House (Ka'bah) when the time for the Asr prayer begins. Should he perform Sa'y before praying, or should he pray before performing Sa'y? Imam (as) replied: "There is no harm in praying first and then performing Sa'y."

"Whichever of the two reports he acts upon is acceptable." I asked him further: "What if a man forgets the two Rak’ahs behind the Maqam of Ibrahim (as) and does not remember until after he has left Makkah?" Imam (as) replied: "Let him pray them wherever he remembers. However, if he remembers while still in the city, he

Hadith.2832 - It is narrated that I said to Imam (as): "What about a man who forgets the two Rak’ahs (units of prayer) behind the Maqam of Ibrahim and does not remember until after he has departed from Makkah?"

In a narration from Umar ibn Yazid, from Abu Abdullah (as): "If he has only gone a short distance, let him return and perform the two Rak'ahs (units of prayer). Alternatively, he may ask someone else to perform them on his behalf."

"I asked Abu Al-Hasan (as) about a man who forgot the two Rak'ahs of the obligatory Tawaf and had already proceeded to Mina. He replied: 'He should return to the Maqam of Ibrahim (as) and perform them.'"

Hadith.2834 - In a narration by Jamil ibn Darraj from one of the Imams (as), it is stated: "The one who is ignorant in leaving the two Rak'ahs at the Station of Ibrahim (as) is treated as one who forgets."

Hadith.2837 - Ibn Muskan narrated from al-Hudhayl, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a man who relies on counting the circuits of his companion during Tawaf (circumambulation) and whether it suffices for both of them and for a child. Imam (as) replied: "Yes. Do you not see that you follow the Imam in prayer when you pr

I asked Abu al-Hasan (as): "I performed four circuits of circumambulation and became tired. Should I pray the associated two units of prayer while sitting?" Imam (as) replied: "No." I asked: "And how should a person pray the night prayer if he becomes tired or feels weakness while sitting?" Imam (as) said: "A person ci

Hadith.2845 - Hisham ibn al-Hakam narrated from Abu Abdullah (as): "Whoever resides in Mecca for one year, circumambulation (Tawaf) is better for him than prayer. Whoever resides for two years, he should combine between this (Tawaf) and that (prayer). And whoever resides for three years, prayer becomes better for him."

Hadith.2855 - Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated: I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "A man starts performing Sa'i (ritual walking) between Safa and Marwah, and the time for prayer begins. Should he hasten to complete it, or should he pray first and then return to complete it, or should he remain in his current state until he fini

I asked Abu al-Hasan (as) about a man performing Sa'i (ritual walking) between Safa and Marwah. If he completes three or four circuits and then meets a friend who invites him to fulfill a need or to have food, what should he do? Imam (as) replied: "If he responds to him, there is no harm in it, but fulfilling the right

Muhammad ibn Ali asked Imam Abu al-Hasan (as): "I completed one circuit of Sa'i (ritual walking), and then the dawn (Fajr) appeared." Imam (as) replied: "Pray, then return and complete your Sa'i."

I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "I have debt, and some dirhams come into my possession. If I divide them among my creditors, they will not settle anything significant. Should I use them for Hajj, or should I distribute them among the creditors?" Imam (as) said: "Perform Hajj with them, and pray to Allah (swt) to help you

Hadith.2977 - Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Abu Ja'far (as): "Did the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) pray the Zuhr prayer in Mina on the Day of Tarwiyah?" Imam (as) said: "Yes, and also the Fajr prayer on the Day of Arafah."

Hadith.3121 - It was said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "A man had blood on his garment, of a type that invalidates prayer, and he performed Tawaf in that garment." Imam (as) said: "His Tawaf is valid, but he should then remove the garment and pray in a pure garment."
