3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Faddal from ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that performing Tawaf before al-Hajj is more excellent than seventy Tawaf after al-Hajj.”
3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
طَوَافٌ قَبْلَ الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ طَوَافٍ بَعْدَ الْحَجِّ.
