Sa‘y between Safa and Marwa:
The Pilgrim ascends the mount of Al-Safa so as to see the
Ka‘bah (if possible) from the Safa door. While ascending he
recites:
(‘Indeed as-Safa and al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah.
So whoever makes Hajj [pilgrimage] to the House or performs
`Umrah - there no blame upon him for walking between them. And
whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative
and knowing”)
Then he repeats this supplication for three times: (Allah
is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest
and all praise belongs to Him (Allah is the Greatest for leading
us to the right way and all praise belongs to Him for His offerings).
(there is no God except Allah, Alone with no partner). He
is Lord of everything. All praise belongs to Him who gives life
and inflicts death, all good is bestowed by Him and He empowers
all things. He has kept His promise, aided His servant, empowered
his troops and defeated the allies Alone.
There is no god but Allah and we do not worship but Him with
utmost sincerity even if the disbelievers detest it.
O Allah! You told us “ invoke me, I’ll respond to you ” and
You do not break your promise, so I beseech You as You guided
me to Al Islam not to strip it from me till You inflict death
on me as a true Muslim (three times).
Then he utters salutations in praise of our prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) and invokes when he descends from Al-Safa
at each round: O Allah! I pray for the causes of Your mercy,
motives for Your forgiveness, escape from all sins, reward for
every good deed, and make me worthy of paradise and protect
me from the Hell fire.
It is Sunnah to jog between the two green slopes (jogging
is only for men) where the pilgrim invokes: “ Our Lord! Grant
us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us
from the torture of Hell. My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, pardon
and favor us, pass over what You know. You are the All Glorious,
the All Generous. My Lord! I beg You for guidance, piety, chastity
and self – sufficiency. My Lord! Support me in praising, thanking
and worshipping You”.
When
he reaches Al-Marwa, he would have completed one round. He completes
seven rounds starting initially from Al-Safa and concluding
finally at Al-Marwa. When the pilgrim stands at Al-Marwa, he
recites: “Indeed as-Safa and al-Marwa are among the symbols
of Allah………..etc”
He also utters the same supplications he mentioned at Al-Safa.
The pilgrim utters Talbiyah during sa‘y but the mu‘ttamer (performing
‘Umrah) does not.
It is preferable to pray two rak‘ahs (better in Al-Haram) after
concluding the seventh round.
The pilgrim is advised to say during sa‘y some recitations,
invocations and whatever he can from the Holy Qur’an.
He invokes after he concludes sa‘y: “ Our Lord! Accept this
from us, grant us safety, pardon us and support us to obey and
praise You”.
Idibaa is not a condition for Sa‘y for the Hanafi school
(though it is a condition for the Shafei school).
Tahara is not a condition for the correctness of Sa‘y but as
Al Mas‘a is within Al-Haram, Tahara is preferable.
A useful notes:
In the case of interruption in Sa‘y
because of prayer or any other reason, the pilgrim resumes
Sa‘y from where he stopped.
|
In case the Mufrid pilgrim wishes
to perform Sa‘y following the arrival Tawaf (Tawaf Al-Qudoom),
he may do that, and in that case this Sa‘y will be considered
as the Sa‘y of the Hajj, which means there is no need
to perform Sa‘y again after the Tawaf Al-Ifadah. |
The pilgrim then returns to spend the night in Mina.
