Virtues of Tawaf-e-Ka’bah

1. Whosoever performs the rounds of a Tawaf and keeps count of them and then offers 2 Nafl prayers, this will be equivalent to freeing 1 slave. Moreover, 10 virtues are written for his every step taken whilst performing Tawaf, 10 sins are removed and his ranks are elevated 10 times. (Musnad Imam Ahmed, vol. 2, pp. 202, Hadees 4462)

2. Whosoever performs the 7 rounds of Tawaf of the Ka’bah and does not partake in any indecent talk, then this will be equivalent to freeing 1 slave. (Mu’jam Kabeer, vol. 20, pp. 360, Hadees 845)

3. Whosoever performs Tawaf of the Ka’bah 50 times, he will be free of sins like the day he was given birth by his mother. (Tirmizi, pp. 1733, Hadees 866)
