2959 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قَدِمَ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا، ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ - قَالَ وَكِيعٌ: يَعْنِي عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ - ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّفَا "

Commentary
Tawāf of the Ka'bah consists of seven rounds. A two Rak'ah prayer should be offered following the Tawāf. c. Performing these two Rak'ah close to Maqâm Ibrâhim is Sunnah. If there is no place there, they could be performed anywhere in the Sacred Mosque. d. Some people turn their faces towards Maqâm Ibrâhim unknowingly though they are not towards Ka'bah which is wrong. Directing oneself towards the Ka'bah in prayer is mandatory, whether Maqâm Ibrâhim is in front of the praying person or not. e. Sa'y (running) between Safâ and Marwah is performed after the Tawâf of the Ka'bah.
