وَسُئِلَ مَالِك ، عَنِ الطَّوَافِ إِنْ كَانَ أَخَفَّ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَتَطَوَّعَ بِهِ ، فَيَقْرُنَ بَيْنَ الْأُسْبُوعَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ ، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رُكُوعِ تِلْكَ السُّبُوعِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا يَنْبَغِي ذَلِكَ . وَإِنَّمَا السُّنَّةُ أَنْ يُتْبِعَ كُلَّ سُبْعٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If a person, considering it easier, performs two or three circuits (tawaf) and then offers two units of prayer after all of them, is this correct? He replied: No, he should offer two units of prayer after every seven circuits.
