Safa and Marwa are among the Symbols of Allah. So if those who visit the House in the Season or at other times should compass them round, it is no sin in them, and if any one obeys his own impulse to good, be sure that Allaah is He Who recognises and knows.)

and says: Nabda'u bimaa bada'allaahu bihi (We begin with what Allaah began with.)

Each time upon as-Safaa and al-Marwah facing Kabah, recite -

Allaahu akbar allaahu akbar allaahu akbar - laa illaaha illallahu wahdau laa shareekalahu - lahul mul ku wa lahul hamdu - yuheeu wa yumeetu wa huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in qadeer - laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareekalahu - anjaza wa'dahu wa nasara ' abdahu wa hazamal ahzaaba wahdahu

Upon encountering green lights, men only - run from one light to other light.

Upon leaving al-Masjidul-Haraam with the left foot, recite -

Allaahuma salli 'alla muhammadin wa sallim - allaahumma innee 'as'aluka min fadhlika
(O Allaah send blessings and peace upon Muhammad. O Allaah I ask You for Your bounty.)

Finally, men: shave head - best, or cut hair equally from all over head; women: cut one-third finger length of hair. Footnotes 1. If possible, cling to area between the corner of al-Hajarul-Aswad and the door, placing the chest, face and forearms upon this area. 2. If possible, touch al-Hajarul-Aswad with the right hand and also kiss al-Hajarul-Aswad, then prostrate on it - this is best; if not, then touch it with the right hand then kiss the right hand; if not, simply make a sign towards it with the right hand. 3. There is no specific duaa during the walk around the Kabah, apart from what has been mentioned for between ar-Ruknul-Yamaanee to al-Hajarul-Aswad. You can therefore recite the Quraan or any duaa as you please. 4. If possible, touch ar-Ruknul-Yamaanee each time (but do not kiss it) - this is best; if not, then do not make any sign towards it. 5.Between the walk from as-Safaa to al-Marwah and al-Marwah to as-Safaa, it is permissable to recite -

Rabbighfir warham innaka antal a'azzul akram

(O lord forgive and have mercy,verily You are the Most Mighty, Most Noble) then there is no harm as it is authentically reported from a group of the Salaf.(60)
