Chapter: The Case of One Who Commences al-Sa‘y Before Tawaf or Performs Tawaf but Delays al-Sa‘y 1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَ٠َّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) رَجُلٌ طَافَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ ثُ٠َّ خَرَجَ فَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْ٠َرْوَةِ فَبَيْنَ٠َا هُوَ يَطُوفُ إِذْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَرَكَ ٠ِنْ طَوَافِهِ بِالْبَيْتِ قَالَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَيُتِ٠َّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الصَّفَا وَالْ٠َا بَقِيَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ بَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا وَالْ٠َرْوَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ يَأْتِي الْبَيْتَ فَيَطُوفُ بِهِ ثُ٠َّ يَسْتَأْنِفُ طَوَافَهُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْ٠َرْوَةِ قُلْتُ فَ٠َا فَرْقٌ بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ قَالَ لأَنَّ هَذَا قَدْ دَخَلَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ ٠ِنَ الطَّوَافِ وَهَذَا لَ٠ْ يَدْخُلْ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ ٠1.

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf around al-Ka‘bah, then goes to al-Safa’ and al-Marwah to perform Tawaf, and remembers that he has left out certain parts of Tawaf around the House.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He must go back to the House to complete his Tawaf, then come to al-Safa’ and al-Marwah to complete the remaining parts.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if one begins with al-Safa’ and al-Marwah before the House?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must go to the House for Tawaf, then perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah again.’ I asked, ‘What is the difference between the two?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This has done certain parts of Tawaf and this one has not done anything.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/45))
