Hadith 108

Sahih Bukhari

Book 25: Hajj (Pilgrimage)

Chapter 69

The Prophet ﷺ offered a two rak'ã prayer after his seven rounds (of Tawaf of the Ka'bah)

باب صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِسُبُوعِهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ

Narrated Nafi': Ibn 'Umar (ra) used to offer a two Rak'a prayer after every seven rounds. And Ismã'il bin Umaiyya said, "I told Az-Zuhri that 'Atã' said, 'The compulsory Salat (prayer) dispenses with the two Rak'a prayer of Tawaf' Az-Zuhri said, 'It is better to follow legal way (of the Prophet ﷺ). The Prophet ﷺ never performed seven rounds of Tawaf but offered a two Rak'a prayer (after them)'."
وَقَالَ نَافِعٌ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يُصَلِّي لِكُلِّ سُبُوعٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ قُلْتُ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ إِنَّ عَطَاءً يَقُولُ تُجْزِئُهُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ مِنْ رَكْعَتَيِ الطَّوَافِ. فَقَالَ السُّنَّةُ أَفْضَلُ، لَمْ يَطُفِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُبُوعًا قَطُّ إِلاَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 1623, 1624
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَأَلْنَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَيَقَعُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فِي الْعُمْرَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطُوفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا، ثُمَّ صَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، وَقَالَ ‏{‏لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ‏}‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَقَالَ لاَ يَقْرَبِ امْرَأَتَهُ حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ‏.‏
`Amr:

We asked Ibn `Umar: "May a man have sexual relations with his wife during the Umra before performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived (in Mecca) and circumambulated the Ka`ba seven times, then offered two rak`at behind Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Abraham), then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn `Umar added, "Verily! In Allah's Apostle you have a good example." And I asked Jabir bin `Abdullah (the same question), and he replied, "You should not go near your wives (have sexual relations) till you have finished Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. "
