Sahih al-Bukhari 1633 (Book 25, Hadith 116) #1567
Performing Tawaf While Riding Behind People

SUMMARY: This hadith explains how Um Salama was instructed to perform Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'ba) while riding behind the people while Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was offering prayer and reciting Surat-at-Tur.

Narrated Um Salama: I informed Allah's Messenger that I was sick. He said, "Perform Tawaf (of the Ka'ba) while riding behind the people". So, I performed the Tawaf while Allah's Messenger was offering the prayer beside the Ka'ba and was reciting Surat-at-Tur.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنِّي أَشْتَكِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ طُوفِي مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ وَأَنْتِ رَاكِبَةٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَطُفْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي إِلَى جَنْبِ الْبَيْتِ، وَهْوَ يَقْرَأُ بِالطُّورِ وَكِتَابٍ مَسْطُورٍ‏.‏
