Hadith.2836 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Haytham al-Tamimi, who said
"I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man whose wife was unable to stand on her feet, so he carried her in a litter and performed the Tawaf of obligation around the Ka'bah and the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah with her. Would that Tawaf suffice for himself as well? Imam (as) replied: 'Indeed, by Allah (swt), it would.'"

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ صَاحِبَتُهُ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُ اَلْقِيَامَ عَلَى رِجْلِهَا فَحَمَلَهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي مَحْمِلٍ فَطَافَ بِهَا طَوَافَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ بِالصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ أَ يُجْزِيهِ ذَلِكَ اَلطَّوَافُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ طَوَافُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ «إِيهاً وَ اَللَّهِ إِذاً».

Hadith.2837 - Ibn Muskan narrated from al-Hudhayl, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a man who relies on counting the circuits of his companion during Tawaf (circumambulation) and whether it suffices for both of them and for a child. Imam (as) replied
"Yes. Do you not see that you follow the Imam in prayer when you pray behind him? It is similar to that."
2837 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْهُذَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى عَدَدِ صَاحِبَتِهِ فِي اَلطَّوَافِ أَ يُجْزِيهِ عَنْهُمَا وَ عَنِ اَلصَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ
«نَعَمْ أَ لاَ تَرَى أَنَّكَ تَأْتَمُّ بِالْإِمَامِ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَهُ وَ هُوَ مِثْلُهُ ».

Abu Abdullah (as) saw me circumambulating the Ka'bah while wearing a burṭula (a type of footwear), and Imam (as) said: "After this, you circumambulate the Ka'bah while wearing a burṭula? Do not wear it while circumambulating the Ka'bah, for it is from the attire of the Jews."

رَآنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَطُوفُ حَوْلَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ وَ عَلَيَّ بُرْطُلَةٌ فَقَالَ «بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَطُوفُ حَوْلَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بُرْطُلَةٌ لاَ تَلْبَسْهَا حَوْلَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ زِيِّ اَلْيَهُودِ.

I said: "No." Imam (as) replied: "Then perform the prayer while standing."
