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 deity save 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.
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 pilgrim performing Tammattu‘
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.
