On the day of Eid, a man did sa‘i, without having done tawaf, and he delayed tawaf until the third day, based on the fact that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “…do it; it does not matter.” Is what he did correct?

Praise
be to Allah

What he did is
valid, because when someone asked the Messenger (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him), I did sa‘i before tawaf, he said: “It does not matter.”
