33. Sa'i Between as-Safa And al- Marwah



After completing tawaaf the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam went to the gate of al-Masjid al-Haram leading to as-Safa and upon approaching it he recited:



'Innas- Safa and al-Marwah min- Shaa-'irllah.

"Verily, as-Safa and and al-Marwah are of the symbols of Allah".


Then he added:




Abda u bimaa bada 'allahu bihi.


"I begin with that with which Allah began."


At that he mounted as-Safa until he could see the House and faced it. He then declared a Allah's unity, stating, "La ilaha ill-Allah' and proclaimed His greatness, saying, "Allahu akbar," Then he recited:




La 'ilaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer. la 'illaha illallaahu wahdahu, 'anjaza wa'dahu.wa nasara'abdahu, wa hamzal 'ahzaaba wahdahu.

"There is no god but Allah, alone, having no partner. Sovereignty is His, and [all] praise is His, and he has ability over all things."

There is no god but Allah, alone, who fulfilled His promise and helped His servant and defeated the [rebellious] parties alone.

He repeated the aforementioned words followed by additional supplication three times.


Next he descended towards al-Marwah,  and when he came to the bottom of the valley, he hastened; when he began to ascend, he walked until he reached al-Marwah. There he did as he has done at as-Safa.


He made seven trips between as-Safa and al-Marwah repeating the aforesaid supplication sides application at each until he finished at al-Marwah.
