Those who disliked talking during tawaf

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that circumambulating (tawaf) the House of Allah is just like prayer, except that Allah has permitted speaking during it; so whoever speaks should speak only what is good and decent.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered his sons that when they performed tawaf, they should not do anything idle during their tawaf, nor speak indecently, nor attend to any errand, nor speak to anyone until they had completed their tawaf, if they were able to do so; if they had the ability, they should certainly do so.

Ata says: I performed tawaf behind Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and during the tawaf I did not hear the voice of either of them speaking.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Circumambulating the House of Allah is like prayer, so speak little during it.

Ibrahim bin Nafi' says: I performed tawaf with Tawus, and I did not see him start a conversation with anyone; however, if someone spoke to him, he would answer him.

Tawus says: I consider it a great gain (ghanimah) to complete the seven circuits of tawaf without anyone speaking to me.
