The Book of Hajj

كتاب مناسك الحج

Bajir (رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) circumambulated the House seven times, walking rapidly (Raml) in the three, and walking (at a regular pace) for four. Then he stood near the Maqam and prayed two Rakah. Then he recited – ََاهِيمِ ذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْروَاتَّخمُصَلًّى [Take the spot where Ibrahim (عليه السالم) stood as your place of prayer] (Al-Baqara – 125), raising his voice, so that the people would hear. Then he went (to perform Sa’i) and said, 'we will start with that with which Allah started.' So, he started with As-Safa, climbing up, until he could see the House, and he said three times - ِ يكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَىَّ ُ وَحْدَهُ الَ شَرالَ إِلَهَ إِالَّ َّللا ٌكُل ِ شَىْءٍ قَدِير [There is no God but Allah alone with no partner or associate, His is the dominion and to Him be praise, He gives life and death, and He has power over all things].' Then exclaimed Allah's greatness, then he supplicated as much as was decreed for him. Then he came down walking until he reached level ground at the bottom of the valley. Then he hastened until the ground began to rise. Then he walked until he came to Al-Marwah and climed over it, and when he could see the House, he said - ُِ يكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهَّ ُ وَحْدَهُ الَ شَرالَ إِلَهَ إِالَّ َّللا الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى ٌكُل ِ شَىْءٍ قَدِير [There is no God but Allah alone with no partner or associate, His is the dominion and to Him be praise, He gives life and death, and He has power over all things]. He said that three times, then he remembered Allah and glorified and praised Him, then he supplicated there for as long as Allah willed. And he did that until he finished Sa’i.’
