5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who performs obligatory Tawaf then something happens, because of which he cannot complete. He (the Imam) said, Tf he has performed four times Tawaf (walking around the House) he can appoint someone to complete the other three times Tawaf (walking around the House) for him, and his Tawaf is complete. If he has performed three times Tawaf (walking around the House) and cannot do any more, he then is one whom Allah has overpowered and it is not harmful to delay his Tawaf by one or two days. If his problem goes away, he comes to complete his seven times Tawaf (walking around the House); if his problem prolongs he appoints someone to perform for him seven times Tawaf (walking around the House), two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) and Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and he then comes out of the state of Ihram. He can follow the same procedure in Sa‘y and throwing pebbles (Ramy al-Jamarat).”’
5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم)
فِي رَجُلٍ طَافَ طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ ثُمَّ اعْتَلَّ عِلَّةً لا يَقْدِرُ مَعَهَا عَلَى تَمَامِ الطَّوَافِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ طَافَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ أَمَرَ مَنْ يَطُوفُ عَنْهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ فَقَدْ تَمَّ طَوَافُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ طَافَ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ وَلا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الطَّوَافِ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مِمَّا غَلَبَ الله عَلَيْهِ فَلا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ الطَّوَافَ يَوْماً وَيَوْمَيْنِ فَإِنْ خَلَّتْهُ الْعِلَّةُ عَادَ فَطَافَ أُسْبُوعاً وَإِنْ طَالَتْ عِلَّتُهُ أَمَرَ مَنْ يَطُوفُ عَنْهُ أُسْبُوعاً وَيُصَلِّي هُوَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَسْعَى عَنْهُ وَقَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ إِحْرَامِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُ فِي السَّعْيِ وَفِي رَمْيِ الْجِمَارِ.
