A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad said: “Abu al-Hassan (AS) said regarding the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘They must perform Tawaf around the free House. ’(22:29), he said that the obligatory Tawaf is Tawaf of an-Nisa'.” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/202))
