The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Indeed, wiping over them removes sin." And I heard him say: "Whoever circumambulates seven times is like one who has freed a slave."

(1) In the margins of (R) and (K), and above it in (M): yaḥuṭṭu (a variant reading).
(2) After it in (M) (above the line): "around the House" (a variant reading).
(3) Its chain is ḥasan because of ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, for he is ṣadūq and ḥasan al-ḥadīth, though he became confused [in his later years]; however, the narration of Ḥammād—namely Ibn Zayd—from him was before his confusion, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. The unnamed man in the chain is ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr, the father of ʿAbd Allāh, as is evident in the narration of Aḥmad (5701) and others. ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr also heard the ḥadīth from Ibn ʿUmar directly, as will come later. The ḥadīth is in al-Sunan al-Kubrā under number (3937), and it is also there under number (3916) without his statement: "Whoever circumambulates seven times is like one who has freed a slave." Al-Mizzī did not mention this narration of al-Nasāʾī in Tuḥfat al-Ashrāf, and attributed it therein to al-Tirmidhī in the narration of ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr, from Ibn ʿUmar (7317).

It was also recorded by Aḥmad (5621) and Ibn Ḥibbān (3698) via Sufyān al-Thawrī, and by Aḥmad also (5701) via Hammām ibn Yaḥyā, and by al-Tirmidhī (959) via Jarīr ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd—all three of them from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr, from his father, from Ibn ʿUmar, with it. Sufyān al-Thawrī's hearing from ʿAṭāʾ was before his confusion, and his narration does not include his statement: "Whoever circumambulates seven times…" Maʿmar was paired with him in his narration as recorded by Aḥmad.

In Jarīr's narration there is an addition: "He does not place a foot nor raise another except that Allah removes a sin from him and writes for him a good deed thereby," and similarly in Hammām's narration.

In al-Tirmidhī's narration: from Ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr, without naming him, but al-Mizzī named him ʿAbd Allāh in the narration he attributed to al-Tirmidhī in Tuḥfat al-Ashrāf (7317). Al-Tirmidhī said: Ḥammād ibn Zayd narrated from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from Ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr, from Ibn ʿUmar, similarly, without mentioning "from his father" in it. And this is a ḥasan ḥadīth.

It was also recorded by Aḥmad (4585) via Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr, from Ibn ʿUmar, with it, without his statement "from his father" between ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd and Ibn ʿUmar—meaning that ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd narrated the ḥadīth from Ibn ʿUmar directly. And Ibn ʿUyaynah's narration from ʿAṭāʾ was before his confusion.

It was also recorded by Aḥmad (4462) via Hushaym: ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib informed us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr, that he heard his father saying to Ibn ʿUmar: "Why do I not see you touching except these two corners…" the ḥadīth, =
