طَوَافُ نَافِلَةٍ أَوْ فَرِيضَةٍ قَالَ أَجِبْنِي فِيهِمَا جَمِيعاً قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ طَوَافَ نَافِلَةٍ فَابْنِ عَلَى مَا شِئْتَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ طَوَافَ فَرِيضَةٍ فَأَعِدِ الطَّوَافَ فَإِنْ طُفْتَ بِالْبَيْتِ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ لَمْ تَدْرِ سِتَّةً طُفْتَ أَوْ سَبْعَةً فَأَعِدْ طَوَافَكَ فَإِنْ خَرَجْتَ وَ فَاتَكَ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ[5].
