٩ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ هَيْثَمٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ صَاحِبَةٌ لا تَسْتَطِيعُ الْقِيَامَ عَلَى رِجْلِهَا فَحَمَلَهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي مَحْمِلٍ فَطَافَ بِهَا طَوَافَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ الطَّوَافُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ طَوَافُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ إِيهاً الله إِذاً.
9. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Haytham al-Tamimiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man whose female companion is not able to stand up on her legs so he places her in a carriage and walks with her to perform an obligatory Tawaf around the House and between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah; if it is sufficient for his Tawaf also. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, by Allah it is sufficient.’” (Hadith 9 of this Chapter is best explained by Fatwa)
