1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Muskan from Zurarah who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is Makruh (detestable) to perform two Tawaf of obligatory nature together; but in the case of optional Tawaf it is not harmful.’ ”
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الأُسْبُوعَيْنِ وَالطَّوَافَيْنِ فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ فَأَمَّا فِي النَّافِلَةِ فَلا بَأْسَ.

Hadith 1559
2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who joins two Tawaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘If you like I can narrate to you from people of Makkah.’ I then said, ‘No, by Allah, I do not need that, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, but narrate to me by which I can worship Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious. He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not join two Tawaf (each of walking seven times around the House). Perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after each Tawaf (of walking seven times around the House). I, however, perform Tawaf and join three and four Tawaf together.’ I then looked at him (the Imam). He (the Imam) said, ‘I am with these people.’”
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَ أُسْبُوعَيْنِ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ رَوَيْتُ لَكَ عَنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لا وَالله مَا لِي فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَلَكِنِ ارْوِ لِي مَا أَدِينُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ فَقَالَ لا تَقْرُنْ بَيْنَ أُسْبُوعَيْنِ كُلَّمَا طُفْتَ أُسْبُوعاً فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَرُبَّمَا قَرَنْتُ الثَّلاثَةَ وَالأَرْبَعَةَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مَعَ هَؤُلاءِ.

3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Nahdiy from Muhammad ibn Walid ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following
“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Joining Tawaf is Makruh (detestable) only in the case of obligatory Tawaf; but in the case of optional Tawaf, by Allah it is not harmful.’”
3ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَلِيدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ الْقِرَانُ فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ فَأَمَّا النَّافِلَةُ فَلا وَالله مَا بِهِ بَأْسٌ.
