قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الْقِرَاءَةُ وَ أَنَا أَطُوفُ أَفْضَلُ أَوْ أَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَالَ الْقِرَاءَةُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ مَرَّ بِسَجْدَةٍ وَ هُوَ يَطُوفُ قَالَ يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Ayoub, brother of Adeym who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The recitation, and I am performing <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span>, is it superior or mentioning Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The recitation’. I said, ‘Supposing he passes by a (Verse of the) Prostration and he is performing <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should extend his head towards the Kaaba’.
