English translation

960. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Tawāf around the House is similar to Ṣalāt except that you talk during it. So whoever talks in it, then let him not say but good." (Hasan) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth has been reported from Ibn Tāwūs and others, from Tāwūs, from Ibn 'Abbās in Mawqūf form. We do not know of it being Marfū' except in the narration of 'Aṭā' bin As-Sā'ib. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge. They consider it recommended that a man not speak during Tawāf except when necessary, or for remembrance of Allāh, or when it is regarding knowledge.

Arabic text

٩٦٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ ‌عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ ‌طَاوُوسٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؛ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الطَّوَافُ حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ» مِثْلُ الصَّلَاةِ، إِلَّا أَنَّكُمْ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ فِيهِ، فَمَنْ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمَنَّ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُوسٍ وَغَيْرِهُ عَنْ طَاوُوسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَوْقُوفًا، وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ لَا يَتَكَلَّمَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الطَّوَافِ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةٍ، أَوْ بِذِكْرِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، أَوْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ.

Commentary

According to this narration, Tawāf is an Ibādah like Salāt, so one should perform Tawāf after making ablution and the woman should not cover their faces and palms just as in the case of Salāt.
