faqih-2811Vol. 2, p. 401

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ السُّبُوعَيْنِ‌[4] وَ الطَّوَافَيْنِ فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ فَأَمَّا فِي النَّافِلَةِ فَلَا بَأْسَ‌[5].

Hadith.2816 - Ibn Muskan narrated from Zurara, who said that Abu Abdullah (as) said: "It is only disliked for a person to combine two sets of seven circuits (tawafayn) in the obligatory tawaf. However, in the case of voluntary tawaf, there is no issue."

وَ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ : رُبَّمَا طُفْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ هُوَ مُمْسِكٌ بِيَدِي اَلطَّوَافَيْنِ وَ اَلثَّلاَثَةَ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ وَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّكَعَاتِ سِتّاً.

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)."
