Home Hadith Hadith 1571
The Prophet (ﷺ) reached Mecca, circumambulated the Ka`ba seven times and then offered a two rak`at
prayer behind Maqam Ibrahim. Then he went towards the Safa. Allah has said, "Verily, in Allah's
Apostle you have a good example."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 25, Hadith 111
← Previous Hadith
(the wife of the Prophet) I informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (about my illness). (Through other sub-narrators,
Um Salama narrated that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was at Mecca and had just decided to leave (Mecca)
while she had not yet done Tawaf of the Ka`ba (and after listening to her). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When
the morning prayer is established, perform the Tawaf on your camel while the people are in prayer."
So she did the same and did not offer the two rak`at of Tawaf until she came out of the Mosque.

Some people performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) after the morning prayer and then sat to listen to a
preacher till sunrise, and then they stood up for the prayer. Then Aisha commented, "Those people
kept on sitting till it was the time in which the prayer is disliked and after that they stood up for the
prayer."
