The Case of One Who Begins from al-Marwah or Makes Mistakes During Sa‘y Between the Two Places

alkafi-7613Vol. 4, p. 436

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا قَالَ يُعِيدُ أَ لَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ لَوْ بَدَأَ بِشِمَالِهِ قَبْلَ يَمِينِهِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الْوُضُوءَ[2].

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who begins from al-Marwah before al- Safa’. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must do it again. Consider if one begins washing his left arms before the right arm for wudu’, he is required to take wudu’ again.’”

حَجَجْنَا وَ نَحْنُ صَرُورَةٌ فَسَعَيْنَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ شَوْطاً فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ سَبْعَةٌ لَكَ وَ سَبْعَةٌ تُطْرَحُ.

“We performed al-Hajj as Sarurah (first time performing al-Hajj) so we performed Sa‘y between al- Safa’ and al-Marwah by fourteen times walking between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. I asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful, seven is for you and the other seven just being dropped.’”

سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا قَالَ يُعِيدُ أَ لَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ لَوْ بَدَأَ بِشِمَالِهِ قَبْلَ يَمِينِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يُعِيدَ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, when I was present, about a man who begins from al- Marwah instead of from al-Safa’. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must do it again. Consider if you begin with your left arms for wudu’ instead of with your right arm, you must begin with your right arm and then do your left arm again.’”

alkafi-7617Vol. 4, p. 437

مَنْ طَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ شَوْطاً طَرَحَ ثَمَانِيَةً وَ اعْتَدَّ بِسَبْعَةٍ وَ إِنْ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ فَلْيَطْرَحْ وَ لْيَبْدَأْ بِالصَّفَا.

“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘If one performs fifteen times instead of seven times walking between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah he drops eight Shawt (walking once between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah) and counts the seven. If he begins from al-Marwah he must drop it and begin from al- Safa’.’”
