118. Invocation to be recited while standing at Safa and Marwah‬

Dua no. 236

Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approached Mount Safa, he would recite ﴿ إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآئِرِ اللَّهِۖ ﴾ He began (his Sa'y) at Mount Safa climbing it until he could see the House. He then faced the Qiblah repeating the words لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ. Then he said لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ .

'Innas-Safaa wal-Marwata min sha'aa'irillaah. 'Abda'u bimaa bada'allaahu bihi. [ He began (his Sa'y) at Mount Safa climbing it until he could see the House. He then faced the Qiblah repeating the words: ] Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaah, Allaahu 'Akbar [ then he said: ] Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer, laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu, 'anjaza wa'dahu, wa nasara 'abdahu, wa hazamal 'ahzaaba wahdahu.

Surely Safa and Marwah are among the signs of Allah. I begin by that which Allah began. [ He began (his Sa'y) at Mount Safa climbing it until he could see the House. He then faced the Qiblah repeating the words: ] There is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Most Great. [ then he said: ] None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, He fulfilled His Promise, He aided His slave, and He alone defeated Confederates. [ Then he would ask Allah for what he liked, repeating the same thing like this three times. He did at Mount Marwah as he did at Mount Safa. ]
