Then, recite the following facing Ḥajar-ul-Aswad with both hands raised up to ears:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ وَ اللّٰہُ اَکْبَرُ وَ
الصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ
Thereafter, perform Istilām of
Ḥajar-ul-Aswad and begin the seventh round. Its Du'ā is as follows:
Du'ā
of seventh round
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ اِیْمَانًا کَامِلًا وَّیَقِیْنًا
صَادِقًا وَّ رِزْقًا وَّاسِعًا وَّ قَلْبًا خَاشِعًا وَّ لِسَانًا ذَاکِرًا وَّ
رِزْقًا حَلَالًا طَیِّبًا وَّ تَوْبَۃً نَّصُوْحًا وَّ تَوْبَۃً قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ
وَ رَاحَۃً عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ مَغْفِرَۃً وَّ رَحْمَۃً بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ
الْعَفْوَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ وَالْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّۃِ وَالنَّجَاۃَ مِنَ النَّارِ
بِرَحْمَتِکَ یَا عَزِیْزُ یَا غَفَّارُ ۔ رَبِّ زِدْنِیْ عِلْمًا وَّ
اَلْحِقْنِیْ بِالصّٰلِحِیْنَ
Translation:
Yā Allah ﷻ!
I implore You to bless me with perfect faith and undoubted belief and plentiful
sustenance and a humble heart and a tongue glorifying You, Ḥalāl and pure
sustenance, true repentance by heart, forgiveness before death, and
tranquillity at the time of death, forgiveness and mercy after death,
forgiveness at the time of accountability, entry in Paradise and protection from
the fire of Hell (all this I beg You) by virtue of Your grace. O the most
respected One and the most forgiving. O my Creator, increase my knowledge and
include me among (Your) pious servants.
As usual, complete the foregoing
Du'ā before reaching Rukn Yamānī. Then, reciting Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī, recite the
following Du'ā:
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَۃً وَّ فِی الْاٰخِرَۃِ
حَسَنَۃً وَّ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Yā Allah ﷻ!
Bless me with goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save me
from the torment of Hell.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
Now on reaching Ḥajar-ul-Aswad, your
all seven rounds of Ṭawāf have completed. Now, pick up both hands to your ears
and recite the following for the eighth time:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ وَ اللّٰہُ اَکْبَرُ وَ
الصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ
Remember that a Ṭawāf consists of
seven rounds and eight Istilāms.
Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm
Now cover your right shoulder with
the upper shawl of Iḥrām. Come at Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm, and recite the following
Quranic verse:
وَاتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ مَّقَامِ اِبْرٰہِیْمَ مُصَلَّی
And make the standing place of Ibrāhīm a spot for
(offering) Ṣalāh.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
Ṣalāh
for Ṭawāf
Offer two Rak'āt Ṣalāh of Ṭawāf near
Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm, if space is available near it, otherwise offer it anywhere in
Masjid-ul-Ḥarām provided the time is not Makrūh for Ṣalāh. Recite Sūrah
al-Kāfirūn and Sūrah al-Ikhlāṣ after Sūrah al-Fātiḥah in the first and the
second Rak'at respectively. This Ṣalāh is Wājib and it is a Sunnah to offer it
immediately after the completion of Ṭawāf. Most people keep their shoulder
uncovered even during Ṣalāh; it is Makrūh to do so.
The act of Iḍṭibā' (i.e. keeping the
right shoulder uncovered) is done during all the seven rounds of only such
Ṭawāf which is followed by Sa'ī. If the time is Makrūh, offer this Ṣalāh later.
Keep in mind that it is essential to offer this Ṣalāh.
Make Du'ā at Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm after
having offered two Rak'āt Ṣalāh. It is stated in a Ḥadīš that Allah ﷻ has said: Whoever makes this Du'ā, I will
forgive his wrongdoing, remove his grief, bring him out of deprivation, grant
him blessings in his trade more than any other trader, and the world will
helplessly and miserably approach him even if he does not desire it.
(Ibn
'Asākir, vol. 7, pp. 431)
Du'ā
of Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنَّکَ تَعْلَمُ سِرِّیْ وَ عَلَانِیَتِیْ فَاقْبَلْ
مَعْذِرَتِیْ وَ تَعْلَمُ حَاجَتِیْ فَاَعْطِنِیْ سُؤْلِیْ وَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ
نَفْسِیْ فَاغْفِرْ لِیْ ذُنُوْبِیْ ۔ اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ اِیْمَانًا
یُّبَاشِرُ قَلْبِیْ وَ یَقِیْنًا صَادِقًا حَتّٰی اَعْلَمَ اَنَّہٗ لَا
یُصِیْبُنِیْٓ اِلَّا مَا کَتَبْتَ لِیْ وَ رَضِّنِیْ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِیْ ۔ یَا
اَرْحَمَ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ
Translation:
O Allah ﷻ!
You are aware of all my concealed and open deeds; hence accept my apology. And
You are aware of my needs, bestow upon me what I seek. And You are aware of my
inner being; hence forgive my sins. O Allah ﷻ!
I ask You for such a faith which overwhelms my heart and a true belief that I
will be facing only what has been predestined for me, and contentment with what
is in my fate from You, O the Most Merciful of all!

Madanī pearls about offering Ṣalāh at Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm
1. The Beloved and Blessed Prophet ﷺ has stated, 'One who offers two Rak'āt Ṣalāh
behind Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm, his future and past sins will be forgiven, and he will
be resurrected on the Day of Judgement with the ones granted peace.'
(Ash-Shifā,
Al-Juz-uš-Šānī, pp. 93)
2. Most people try to offer Ṣalāh
behind Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm at any cost even in a huge crowd, whereas some people
stand round in a circle holding each others' hands so that their female
companions could offer Ṣalāh inside the circle near Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm, blocking
the way for others. Such people should avoid it in crowd. Instead, they should
offer Ṣalāh some distance away from Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm so that the
Ṭawāf-performing people would not be inconvenienced and they would not also be
pushed and shoved.
3. After Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm, the most
preferable place to offer this Ṣalāh is the inside of the Holy Ka'bah. Then in
Ḥatīm under Mīzāb-ur-Raḥmah, then any place throughout Ḥatīm, then any place
near the Holy Ka'bah, then any place in Masjid-ul-Ḥarām and then any place
throughout the Ḥaram of Makkah.
(Lubāb-ul-Manāsik,
pp. 156)
4. It is a Sunnah to offer this Ṣalāh
immediately after the Ṭawāf provided that the time is not Makrūh. There should
be no delay. If a person who has not offered this Ṣalāh after the Ṭawāf, offers
it any time in his life, this will be considered offered, not Qaḍā. However, he
has missed a Sunnah, which is a wrongdoing.
(Al-Maslak-ul-Mutaqassiṭ,
pp. 155)
Come
at Multazam
After completing Ṣalāh and Du'ā,
embrace Multazam. (It is Mustaḥab to come at Multazam.) The section between
Ḥajar-ul-Aswad and the sacred door of the Holy Ka'bah is called Multazam. The
blessed door is not included in Multazam. Embrace Multazam with your chest,
belly, right cheek and left cheek. Raise both hands above the head and spread
them on Multazam or spread right hand towards the blessed door and the left
towards Ḥajar-ul-Aswad. Let tears flow and make Du'ā sobbing with extreme
humbleness and humility for yourself and the entire Ummah in your native
language. This is the place where Du'ā is accepted. One of the Du'ās made here
is as follows:
يَا وَاحِدُ يَا مَاجِدُ لَا تُزِلْ عَنِّيْ نِعْمَةً
اَنْعَمْتَهَا عَلَيَّ
O Omnipotent! O the most Honoured! Do not deprive me
of the favour You have granted to me.
It is stated in a Ḥadīš: When I
want, I see Jibrāīl make this Du'ā whilst embracing Multazam.
(Ibn
'Asākir, vol. 51, pp. 164)
