Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever performs seven circuits (tawaf) of the House of Allah (the Ka'bah), for every step he takes and every step he lifts, Allah Almighty, because of it, forgives his sin, records a good deed for him, and raises his rank because of it."
