To recite Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī once before making this Du'ā is better.
Du'ā
to be made at Multazam
اَللّٰهُمَّ يَا رَبَّ الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيْقِ اَعْتِقْ رِقَابَنَا
وَ رِقَابَ اٰبَآئِنَا وَ اُمَّهَاتِنَا وَ اِخْوَانِنَا وَ اَوْلَادِنَا مِنَ
النَّارِ يَا ذَا الْجُوْدِ وَ الْكَرَمِ وَ الْمَنِّ وَالْعَطَآءِ وَالْاِحْسَانِ
۔ اَللّٰهُمَّ اَحْسِنْ عَاقِبَتَنَا فِی الْاُمُوْرِ كُلِّهَا وَاَجِرْنَا مِنْ
خِزْیِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۔ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّیْ عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ
عَبْدِكَ وَاقِفٌ تَحْتَ بَابِكَ مُلْتَزِمٌ بِاَعْتَابِكَ مُتَذَلِّلٌ بَيْنَ
يَدَيْكَ اَرْجُوْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَاَخْشٰى عَذَابَكَ مِنَ النَّارِ يَا قَدِيْمَ
الْاِحْسَانِ ۔ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُكَ اَنْ تَرْفَعَ ذِكْرِیْ وَتَضَعَ
وِزْرِیْ وَتُصْلِحَ اَمْرِیْ وَتُطَهِّرَ قَلْبِیْ وَتُنَوِّرَ لِیْ فِیْ
قَبْرِیْ وَتَغْفِرَ لِیْ ذَنْبِیْ وَاَسْئَلُكَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلٰى مِنَ
الْجَنَّةِ ۔ اٰمِيْنَ بِجَاهِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِيْنَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ
Translation:
O Allah ﷻ!
O Creator of this ancient House! Free our necks and those of our ancestors, our
mothers (and sisters), our brothers and children from the fire of Hell! O the
Forgiver, the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent, the Most Kind, the Bestower
and the Most Generous. O Allah ﷻ, bless us with good
end in all our affairs and save us from remorse in this world and torment in
the Hereafter. O Allah ﷻ! I am Your servant
and the son of Your servant. I am standing beneath Your sacred door. I have
clung to its doorstep and I am expressing my humbleness before You and I am
begging for Your mercy and I fear the torment of Hell, O Ever-Kind (be kind
with me at this moment). I implore You to raise my name and lighten the burden
of my sins and reform my affairs, cleanse my inner self, illuminate my grave,
and forgive my sins and I am begging You for high status in Paradise. Āmīn
An
important ruling
After performing the Ṭawāf which is
followed by Sa'ī, offer Ṣalāh of Ṭawāf before coming to Multazam. In case of
performing the Ṭawāf which is not followed by Sa'ī, e.g. a Nafl Ṭawāf or
Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyārah (provided Sa'ī of Ḥajj has already been performed), one should
approach Multazam prior to offering the Ṣalāh of Ṭawāf at Maqām-u-Ibrāhīm.
(Al-Maslak-ul-Mutaqassiṭ,
pp. 138)
Drink
Zamzam water
A large number of Zamzam water-containing
coolers are placed in Masjid-ul-Ḥarām at different points. Come to any
water-cooler and drink Zamzam water in three breaths until your stomach is
full, whilst standing and facing the Qiblah. (Remember that it is necessary to
make the intention of I'tikāf before you drink Zamzam water in any Masjid.)
The Beloved and Blessed Prophet ﷺ has stated, 'The difference between us and
the hypocrites is that they do not drink Zamzam to their full stomach.'
(Ibn
Mājah, vol. 3, pp. 489, Ḥadīš 3061)
Recite بِسْمِ
اللّٰہ every time you drink Zamzam water and say اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہ afterwards. Look at the Holy Ka'bah every
time you drink it. Sprinkle the remaining water over the body or moisten the
face and the head, etc. Take care that no drop of water falls over the ground.
When drinking Zamzam water, make Du'ā as it will be accepted. Here are two
sayings of the Holy Prophet ﷺ:
1. 'This (Zamzam water) is blessed and
a meal for the hungry and a cure for the patient.'
(Abū Dāwūd Ṭayālsī, pp. 61, Ḥadīš
457)
2. 'The purpose for which Zamzam is
drunk will be fulfilled.'
(Ibn
Mājah, vol. 3, pp. 490, Ḥadīš 3062)
Recite
this Du'ā after drinking Zamzam water
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَّافِعًا وَّرِزْقًا
وَّاسِعًا وَّشِفَآءً مِّنْ كُلِّ دَآءٍ
Translation: O Allah ﷻ!
I ask You for useful knowledge, increased sustenance and cure for all diseases.
How
to make Du'ā whilst drinking Zamzam water
The exegetist of Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim
Sayyidunā Imām Nawavī Shāfi'ī عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ
اللّٰهِ الْقَوِیّ has stated, 'If a person desires
forgiveness or a cure for some disease etc by drinking Zamzam water, it is
Mustaḥab for him to stand facing the Qiblah and recite بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ and then say: O Allah
ﷻ! I have heard a Ḥadīš of Your Prophet ﷺ who has said, 'The purpose for which
Zamzam is drunk will be fulfilled.' O Allah ﷻ!
I am going to drink it so that You would forgive me or O Allah ﷻ! I am going to drink it to be cured of my
disease. O Allah ﷻ! You grant me the
cure. Many other Du'ā's may be made in the same way.
(Al-Īḍāḥ
fī Manāsik al-Ḥajj lin-Nawavī, pp. 401)
Do
not drink very cold water
Avoid drinking very cold water lest
it causes hindrance to the acts of worship. Crushing the desire of Nafs, drink
water from such cooler that has on it the writing زَمْزَم
غَيْرُ مُبَرَّد (i.e. Zamzam water that is not cold).
Eyesight
improves
To see Zamzam water improves the
eyesight and removes the sins. To sprinkle three handfuls of it onto the head
protects against disgrace.
(Al-Baḥr-ul-'Amīq
fil-Manāsik, vol. 5, pp. 2569-2573)
Tū har sāl Ḥajj per bulā Yā Ilāhī
Wahān Āb-e-Zamzam pilā Yā Ilāhī
May I perform Hajj every year, O Almighty!
And drink Zamzam water there, O Almighty!
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْبْ ۔ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Sai
of Safa and Marwah
Prepare for Sa'ī between Ṣafā and
Marwah. However, if you are tired or occupied, you may take some rest before
performing Sa'ī. It should be noted that it is not a Sunnah to perform Iḍṭibā'
in Sa'ī.
Now, perform Istilām of
Ḥajar-ul-Aswad as usual by raising both hands up to ears and then recite the
following Du'ā:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَ اللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ وَ
الصَّلٰوةُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ
If it is not possible to perform
Istilām, then face Ḥajar-ul-Aswad and recite اَللّٰہُ
اَکْبَرُ وَلَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہ with Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī
and come at Bāb-us-Ṣafā immediately. The mount Ṣafā is outside Masjid-ul-Ḥarām.
Since it is a Sunnah to place out left foot first whilst exiting a Masjid, do
the same here while exiting Masjid-ul-Ḥarām and recite the following Du'ā with
Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ
O Allah ﷻ!
I beg You for Your mercy and grace.
While reciting Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī, now
go uphill at Ṣafā such that you may see the Holy Ka'bah from there. This can be
achieved by walking uphill just slightly. Therefore, avoid climbing the mount
too high like other people. Then recite the following Du'ā:
اَبْدَاُ بِمَا بَدَاَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰى بِهٖ ۔ اِنَّ الصَّفَا
وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآئِرِ اللّٰہِ ۔ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ اَوِ اعْتَمَرَ
فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ اَنْ يَّطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ۔ وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا
فَاِنَّ اللّٰہَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيْمٌ
Translation:
I begin that which Allah ﷻ has begun with (this Holy Statement of
His): Without doubt, Ṣafā and Marwah are from amongst the signs from Allah ﷻ, whosoever performs Hajj or 'Umrah of this
house, there is no sin on him for taking rounds of these two. And whoever
performs a good deed at his own will, undoubtedly Allah ﷻ is the most Rewarding and all Knowing.
Wrong
way
Out of ignorance, many people are
seen waving their palms towards the Ka'bah. Likewise, some people signal with
their hands and raise hands up to their ears three times and then drop them;
all these are incorrect manners. What you should do is to raise your hands up
to your shoulders as in Du'ā, whilst facing the Ka'bah. Make Du'ā for as long
as it takes to recite 25 verses of Sūrah al-Baqarah. Make Du'ā humbly whilst
pleading and sobbing as this is a place where Du'ā is accepted. Pray for the
betterment of yourself and all other Muslims including Muslim jinns. It will be
a great favour if you make Du'ā of forgiveness for me, a sinner
(Sag-e-Madīnah). Reciting Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī make the following Du'ā.¹
¹ As intention is not a condition
for the Ramī of Jamarāt and Wuqūf in 'Arafāt etc. it is not a condition for
Sa'ī as well. If the Sa'ī is performed even without an intention, it will still
be valid. However, it is Mustaḥab to make intention. One will not get the
reward if there is no intention.
