9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Hassan ibn ‘Atiyyah who has said the following
“Sulayman ibn Khalid asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), when I was there, about a man who performed six times Tawaf (walking around the House). Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), asked, ‘How did he do so? He said, ‘He faced the Black Stone and said, “Takhir (Allah is great beyond description),” made his intention and made it one.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), then said, ‘He makes one time walking around the House?’ Sulayman said, ‘He missed it until he came to his family.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must appoint someone to perform Tawaf on his behalf.’”
9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ
سَأَلَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سِتَّةَ أَشْوَاطٍ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَكَيْفَ يَطُوفُ سِتَّةَ أَشْوَاطٍ قَالَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْحَجَرَ وَقَالَ الله أَكْبَرُ وَعَقَدَ وَاحِداً فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَطُوفُ شَوْطاً قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَإِنَّهُ فَاتَهُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَتَى أَهْلَهُ قَالَ يَأْمُرُ مَنْ يَطُوفُ عَنْهُ.
