Mistakes During Two Rak‘at Salat (Prayer) After Tawaf

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فِي طَوَافِ الْحَجِّ وَ الْعُمْرَةِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ بِالْبَلَدِ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ- وَ اتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقامِ إِبْراهِيمَ مُصَلًّى‌[2] وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدِ ارْتَحَلَ فَلَا آمُرُهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ‌[3].

“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

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ نَسِيَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ خَلْفَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَتَّى ارْتَحَلَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا حَيْثُ ذَكَرَ وَ إِذْ ذَكَرَهُمَا وَ هُوَ فِي الْبَلَدِ فَلَا يَبْرَحْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُمَا.

“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

فِي رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى طَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ طَافَ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ وَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ بِالْأَبْطَحِ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَالَ يَرْجِعُ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ أَرْبَعاً.

“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

نَسِيتُ رَكْعَتَيِ الطَّوَافِ خَلْفَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى مِنًى فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَصَلَّيْتُهُمَا فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ أَلَّا صَلَّاهُمَا حَيْثُ ذَكَرَ[1].

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

فِي رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ نَسِيَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى طَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ يُعَلِّمُ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فَيُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ.

“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.’”

سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى طَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ طَافَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ وَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ أَيْضاً لِذَلِكَ الطَّوَافِ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ بِالْأَبْطَحِ قَالَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فَيُصَلِّي.

“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

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ قَدْ عَلَّمْنَاهُ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي فَنَسِيَ فَقَعَدَ حَتَّى غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ رَأَى النَّاسَ يَطُوفُونَ فَقَامَ فَطَافَ طَوَافاً آخَرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ لِطَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَقَالَ جَاهِلٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ[2].

“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

طُفْنَا بِالْبَيْتِ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ وَ نَسِينَا الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا بِمِنًى ذَكَرْنَاهُمَا فَأَتَيْنَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ صَلِّيَاهُمَا بِمِنًى‌[3].

“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’.’”
