And Nafi’ narrated that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to pray two rak’ahs after every seven circuits (of Tawaf). Isma’il bin Umayyah said: I asked Zuhri that Ata used to say that the prayer of Tawaf can also be performed with an obligatory prayer, so he replied: Acting upon the Sunnah is better. It never happened that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) completed seven circuits and did not pray two rak’ahs.

Narrated `Amr: We asked Ibn `Umar: "May a man have sexual relations with his wife during the Umra before performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Allah's Apostle arrived (in Mecca) and circumambulated the Ka`ba seven times, then offered two rak`at behind Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Abraham), then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn `Umar added, "Verily! In Allah's Apostle you have a good example."

And I asked Jabir bin `Abdullah (the same question), and he replied, "You should not go near your wives (have sexual relations) till you have finished Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. "
