The Evidence for the Two-Rak'ah Prayer After Tawaf

What is the evidence for the voluntary prayer after tawaf?

As for the voluntary prayer after tawaf, I do not know of any evidence for it other than what is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which is established that when he performed the arrival tawaf, he went forward to the Station of Ibrahim and recited: [al-Baqarah: 125] and prayed two rak'ahs behind it. So the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) included all tawafs with this, such as the tawaf of ifadhah, the farewell tawaf, and the recommended tawaf. However, I do not know of a specific evidence that two rak'ahs are prayed after every tawaf.

The questioner: The original evidence in tawaf! The Shaykh: This is the original,Perhaps: It is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that after the arrival tawaf in the Farewell Pilgrimage, he went forward to the Station of Ibrahim and recited: [al-Baqarah: 125] and prayed two rak'ahs. This is established in Sahih Muslim. So the scholars included all tawafs with this. Otherwise, it occurs to me now that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs whenever he performed tawaf, whether in the tawaf of ifadhah or the farewell tawaf,Rather, if someone were to say: As for the tawaf of ifadhah, the apparent indication is the hadith of Jabir that he did not pray; because he mentioned that he performed tawaf, and that he went to Zamzam and drank from it, and he mentioned the hadith. But in the hadith of Jabir, he prayed the midday prayer in Makkah. It is possible that he prayed after the tawaf and was content with the obligatory prayer instead of the voluntary one, and Allah knows best.
