Bahz narrated to us, Hammam narrated to us, he said: Qatadah informed us, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Tawaf around the Ka'bah seven times and performed Sa'y seven times. And Ibn 'Abbas said: 'If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is a good example for you, then follow his example, for he performed Tawaf seven times.'
