لَبَّيْكَ اَللّٰهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ ، لَبَّيْكَ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ ، لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَكَ

Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna-l-ḥamda, wa-n-niʿmata, laka wa-l-mulk, lā sharīka lak.

I am here at Your service, O Allah; I am here at Your service, I am here at Your service; You have no partner whatsoever; I am here at Your service. Truly all praise, favour and sovereignty is Yours; You have no partner whatsoever.

- ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar (radiy Allāhū ‘anhumā) narrates that the talbiyah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was [the above].

Allāhu Akbar.

Allah is the Greatest.

- Ibn ʿAbbās (radiy Allāhū ʿanhumā) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ṭawāf (of the Kaʿbah) riding a camel. Whenever he came to the Corner (where the Black Stone is located), he would point towards it with a thing in his hand and would declare Allah’s greatness.(Bukhārī 1632)

04 · Between al-Rukn al-Yamani (Yemeni Corner) & al-Hajar al-Aswad (Black Stone)

Rabbanā ātinā fi-d-dunyā ḥasanah wa fil-ākhirati ḥasanah wa qinā ʿadhāba-n-nār.

Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire.

- ʿAbdullāh b. as-Sā’ib (radiy Allāhū ʿanhu) narrated: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say [the above] between the two corners (al-Rukn al-Yamānī and al-Ḥajar al-Aswad).” (Abū Dāwūd 1892)

05 · At Maqām Ibrāhīm

وَاتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ مُصَلًّي

06 · Each Time on Safa & Marwah

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ ، اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ

Lā ilāha illā-llāh, Allāhu Akbar, lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahū lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamd, wa Huwa ʿalā kulli shay’in Qadīr, lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdah, anjaza waʿdah, wa naṣara ʿabdah, wa hazama-l-aḥzāba waḥdah.

There is no god worthy of worship except Allah. Allah is the Greatest. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah. He is Alone. He fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His servant, and He Alone defeated the coalition forces.

- Jābir (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) said: “The Messenger of Allah began with Ṣafā and climbed it until he could see the Kaʿbah. He then faced the qiblah, proclaimed the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and then said: لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ. He then made duʿā’ between three recitals of (the above)… He then did on Marwah what he did on Ṣafā.” (Muslim 1218) Note: The above Dhikr should be recited x3. Duʿā’ should be made after each recital.

07 · Between The Green Lights in Saʿy

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعَزُّ الْأَكْرَمُ

Rabbi-ghfir wa-rḥam innaka Anta-l-Aʿazzul Akram.

My Lord, forgive and have mercy. Truly You are the Most Mighty, the Most Noble.

08 · On the Day of ʿArafah

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

Lā ilāha illā-Allāh, waḥdahū lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulk, wa lahu-l-ḥamd, wa Huwa ʿalā kulli shay’in Qadīr.

There is no god worthy of worship but Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful.

09 · When Approaching Ṣafā to begin Saʿy

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآئِرِ اللّٰهِ ، أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللّٰهُ بِهِ ،

Inna-ṣ-Ṣafā wa-l-Marwata min shaʿāiri-llah, abda’u bi-mā bada’allāhu bih.

Indeed, Ṣafa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah (2:158). I begin with what Allah began with.
