The reward of tawaf

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever performs tawaf of the House of Allah does not lift a foot and put it down except that a good deed is written for him, a sin is wiped away, and a rank is raised for him in Paradise." And he says: I also heard him say: "Whoever completes seven circuits receives a reward equal to freeing a slave."

Muhammad bin al-Munkadir narrates from his father that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever completes seven circuits in the tawaf of the House of Allah without committing any wrongful or idle act during it receives as much reward as one who frees a slave."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Whoever performs fifty tawafs (each of seven circuits) of the House of Allah comes out of his sins as purified as on the day his mother gave birth to him.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Whoever completes seven circuits of the House of Allah and then prays two rak'ahs is like one whose mother gave birth to him that very day.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Whoever performs tawaf of the House of Allah has a reward equal to freeing a slave.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: That I perform a tawaf of the House of Allah is dearer to me than freeing Tahman (Tahman was the name of a slave of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri).

Something similar to the hadith of Abu Mu'awiyah is reported from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him).

Mujahid says: Performing tawaf of the House of Allah is better than performing Umrah after Hajj.
