7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il from Hanan ibn Sadir who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf and is confused if he has performed three or four times Tawaf (walking around the House). Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘Was it optional or obligatory Tawaf?’ If it was obligatory Tawaf he had to drop what he had performed to start all over again, but if it was optional and if he was certain of performing three and had doubt about four, he could consider it three; it is permissible.’”
7ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ طَافَ فَأَوْهَمَ فَقَالَ طُفْتُ أَرْبَعَةً أَوْ طُفْتُ ثَلاثَةً فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَيَّ الطَّوَافَيْنِ كَانَ طَوَافَ نَافِلَةٍ أَمْ طَوَافَ فَرِيضَةٍ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ طَوَافَ فَرِيضَةٍ فَلْيُلْقِ مَا فِي يَدِهِ وَلْيَسْتَأْنِفْ وَإِنْ كَانَ طَوَافَ نَافِلَةٍ فَاسْتَيْقَنَ ثَلاثَةً وَهُوَ فِي شَكٍّ مِنَ الرَّابِعِ أَنَّهُ طَافَ فَلْيَبْنِ عَلَى الثَّلاثَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَجُوزُ لَهُ.
