COURTESIES IN SAEE
It is recommended to depart to Safaa by the door facing the Black Stone and with peace and solemnity. On reaching there one must look at the Holy Kaaba and concentrate on the corner with the Black Stone, praise Allah and narrate His bounties and then say seven times each Allahu Akber, Al-Hamdulillah and Lailaha ilallah and then say:

All land belongs to Him and all praise is due to Him. He gives life and takes it away; He has always been alive and will never die. All goodness emanates from Him and is powerful over all things.)
Then send blessings on Muhammad and his progeny (a.s.) and say thrice:
Çááå ÇßÈÑ ÇáÍãÏ ááå Úáì ãÇ åÏÇäÇ æÇáÍãÏ ááå Úáì ãÇ ÇæáÇäÇ æÇáÍãÏ ááå ÇáÍí ÇáÞíæã æÇáÍãÏ ááå ÇáÍí ÇáÏÇÆã (Translation: Allah is Great; He has granted us guidance. All praise is to Allah; He has showered on us bounties. All praise to Allah who is Living and Eternal and all praise is ever due to Him.)
Then say thrice: ÃÔåÏ Ãä áÇ Åáå ÅáÇ Çááå ¡ æÃÔåÏ Ãä ãÍãÏÇð ÚÈÏåõ æÑÓæáåõ ¡ áÇ äÚÈÏõ ÅáÇ ÅíÇå ãÎáíä áå ÇáÏíä æáæ ßÑå ÇáãÔÑßæä .
(Translation: I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. We do not worship anyone except Him, sincere to the religion, however averse may the polytheists be.)

(Translation: There is no God except Allah, He is only One, He has accomplished His promise, He has helped His servant and singly overpowered the groups (of infidels). All land belongs to Him and all praise is due to Him, Him along. O Allah, bless my death and what happens after it. O Allah, I seek refuge from the darkness and loneliness of the grave. O Allah, grant me shelter under the shade of Your Arsh on the day when there will be no shelter except Yours.)
Then say:
ÃÓÊæÏÚ Çááå ÇáÑÍãä ÇáÑÍíã ¡ ÇáÐí áÇ ÊÖíÚ æÏÇÆÚå Ïíäí æäÝÓí æÃåáí ¡ Çááåã ÇÓÊÚãáäí Úáì ßÊÇÈß æÓäÉ äÈíß ¡ æÊæÝäí Úáì ãáÊå ¡ æÃÚÐäí ãä ÇáÝÊäÉ .

O Allah, keep me steadfast in following Your Book and the practices of Your Prophet and keep me among his followers until my death and save me from dissension.) Then say thrice Allahu Akbar and repeat the above supplication twice. Then make takbeer and repeat the supplication. If it is not possible to perform all this, one may recite a portion of it. It has been reported from Amiril Mu'mineen (a.s.) that when one climbs the Safaa, one must face the Holy Kaaba, raise one's hands and say
Çááåã ÇÛÝÑ áí ßá ÐäÈ ÇÐäÈÊå ÞØ ¡ ÝÅä ÚÏÊ ÝÚÏ Úáíø ÈÇáãÛÝÑÉ ¡ ÝÅäß ÃäÊ ÇáÛÝæÑ ÇáÑÍíã ¡ Çááåã Ç ÝÚá Èí ãÇ ÃäÊ Ãåáå ¡ ÝÅäß Ç ä ÊÝÚá Èí ãÇ ÃäÊ Ãåáå ÊÑÍãäí ¡ æÅä ÊÚÐÈäí ÝÃäÊ Ûäí Úä ÚÐÇÈí ¡ æÃäÇ ãÍÊÇÌ Çáì ÑÍãÊß ¡ ÝíÇ ãä ÃäÇ ãÍÊÇÌ Çáì ÑÍãÊå ÇÑÍãäí ¡ Çááåã áÇ ÊÝÚá Èí ãÇ ÃäÇ Çåáå ¡ ÝÅäß Åä ÃäÇ Ãåáå ÊÚÐÈäí æáä ÊÙáãäí ¡ ÃÈÍÊ ÃÊÞí ÚÏáß æáÇ ÃÎÇÝ ÌæÑß ¡ ÝíÇ ãä åæ ÚÏá áÇ íÌæÑ ÇÑÍãäí .
(Translation: O Allah, forgive all my sins whenever I may have committed them and if I repeat them, forgive me again, for You are Forgiving and Merciful. O Allah, deal with me as it befits You and if You would do so, You would have mercy on me. You are free from any need to punish me but I am in need of Your mercy, have mercy on me. O Allah, do not deal with me as I deserve, for if You do so, You will punish me without being unjust to me. I fear Your justice but have no fear of injustice from You. O one who is absolutely Just, have mercy on me.)
It has been reported from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that if one desires to own much property, one should stay at Safaa longer. It is recommended to perform the saee by walking in peace and seriousness. When men reach the first minaret they should hasten the pace till the location of the second minaret. There is no such recommendation for women.Then one should continue to walk with peace and seriousness till one arrives at Marwah where one should repeat what was done at Safaa and return from Marwah to Safaa in the same manner. If one is riding, one should hasten the pace between the minarets. One must perform the saee in earnestness, weeping and supplicating intensely.
COURTESIES IN IHRAM DURING THE STAY
AT ARAFAAT
Whatever has been stated above in respect of the courtesies in the state of ihram during Umrah, apply equally to the state of ihram in Hajj. When one has worn the ihram for Hajj, and departed from Makkah, one must say the talbiyyah on the way but not in loud voice till one reaches Abtah when it must be recited aloud. When one notices Mina, one should say:
Çááåã ÅíÇß ÃÑÌæ æÅíÇß ÃÏÚæÇ ¡ ÝÈáÛäí Ããáí æÃáÍ áí Úáãí . (Translation: O Allah, I place all my hopes in You and supplicate to You. Fulfil my hopes and put my actions in order.)
Then proceed to Mina peacefully and with seriousness, engrossed in remembrance of Allah and on reaching there, say: ÇáÍãÏ ááå ÇáÐí ÃÞÏãäíåÇ ÇáÍÇð Ýí ÚÇÝíÉ æÈáÛäí åÐÇ ÇáãßÇä . (Translation: All praise is due to Allah who brought me to Mina in sound health and reached me to this place.)
Then say: Çááåã æåÐå ãäì ¡ æåí ããÇ ãääÊ Èå Úáì ÃæáíÇÆß ãä ÇáãäÇÓß ¡ ÝÃÓÃáß Ãä Êáí Úáì ãÍãÏ æÂá ãÍãÏ ¡ æÃä Êãä Úáíø ÝíåÇ ÈãÇ ãääÊ Úáì ÇæáíÇÆß æÃåá ØÇÚÊß ÝÅäãÇ ÃäÇ ÚÈÏß æÝí ÞÈÖÊß .
(Translation: O Allah, this is Mina where You have graced us with performance of ceremonies. I beseech You for the grace You have bestowed on Your Prophets, for I am one of Your servants and in Your power.)
It is recommended that the eve of Arafaat be spent in Mina in the worship of Allah, the High and its preferred form is prayers (salaat) in the mosque at Kheef. After dawn, one must continue in prayer till sunrise and then move to Arafaat. There is no objection in departing from Mina before sunrise. When one notices Arafaat, one should say: Çááåã Åáíß ãÏÊ æÅíÇß ÇÚÊãÏÊ ææÌåß ÃÑÏÊ ¡ ÝÃÓÃáß Åä ÊÈÇÑß áí Ýí ÑÍáÊí ¡ æÃä ÊÞÖí áí ÍÇÌÊí ¡ æÃä ÊÌÚáäí ããä ÊÈÇåí Èå Çáíæã ãä åæ ÃÝÖá ãäí .
(Translation: O Allah, I turn to You, repose trust in You and seek Your pleasure. I beseech You to bless my journey, fulfil my wishes and include me among those superior to me whom You honour today.)
When one reaches Arafaat, one should recite the talbiyyah.
COURTESIES OF THE STAY AT ARAFAAT
A number of matters have been recommended during the stay at Arafaat and some of them are:
(1) Cleanliness (taharah) during the stay.
(2) Ghusl at noon.
(3) Continuous supplication and remembrance of Allah.
(4) Stay on the flat land to the left of the mountain.
(5) Joining the two prayers of Zohr and Asr with one adhan and two iqamaat
(6) Recitation of supplications and the most excellent of them are the supplications of Hussain (a.s.) and his son Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) which will be set out.
It has been authentically reported from Muawiyah bin Ammar that Abi Abdillah (a.s.)
stated, "Hasten to your prayers (salaat) and gather yourselves to indulge in supplications for it is a day of supplications and seeking. Then find yourself a place where you can stay with peace and solemnity and praise, glorify and recite the Oneness of Allah. Recite the takbir a hundred times, the Hamd a hundred times, Subhanallah a hundred times, the Chapter on Ikhlas a hundred times and other supplications that he may choose to recite. One must make great effort to indulge in worship for it is a day for supplications and seeking refuge of Allah from the Shaitan who does not spare opportunity to deviate man. One must not engage in looking at others but examine oneself and say:
Çááåã Åäí ÚÈÏß ÝáÇ ÊÌÚáäí ãä ÃÎíÈ æÝÏß ¡ æÇÑÍã ãÓíÑí Çáíß ãä ÇáÝÌ ÇáÚãíÞ .
(Translation: O Allah, I am Your slave. Do not include among those who do not hope to be close to You. Have mercy on my having travelled from far towards You.)

Then say:

Then say raising our head towards the sky:

Then say:

(Translation: There is no God but Allah, He is One without any partner. All kingdom belongs to Him, all praise is due to Him. He grants life and death and death and life. He is eternally living and does not die. All good is in his hands and He has power over all things. All praise is due to You as You state and what You state is better than anything else which is said. O Allah, my salaat, worship. living and death are for You. All the power with me is from You and all my strength is from You. O Allah, I seek Your refuge from poverty, wicked obsessions, severity of affairs, the fire of Hell and the torments of the grave. O Allah, I seek from You the goodness that comes from the wind, and seek refuge from the evil caused by the wind and the goodness from the day and night.)
Among the supplications reported by Abdullah bin Maymoon from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) is the following that during his stay in Arafaat, the Holy Messenger (s.a.a.w.) used to recite at the time of sunset before departure: Çááåã Åäí ÃÚæÐ Èß ãä ÇáÝÞÑ æãä ÊÔÊÊ ÇáÃãÑ æãä ÔÑ ãÇ íÍÏË ÈÇááíá æÇáäåÇÑ¡ ÃãÓì Ùáãí ãÓÊÌíÑÇð ÈÚÝæß¡ æÃãÓì ÎæÝí ãÓÊÌíÑÇð ÈÃãÇäß¡ æÃãÓì Ðáøí ãÓÊÌíÑÇ ÈÚÒß æÇãÓì æÌåí ÇáÝÇäí ãÓÊÌíÑÇ ÈæÌåß ÇáÈÇÞí¡ íÇÎíÑ ãä ÓõÆá æíÇ ÃÌæÏ ãä ÃÚØì¡ Ìáøáäí ÈÑÍãÊß æÃáÈÓäí ÚÇÝíÊß æÇÑÝ Úäí ÔÑ ÌãíÚ ÎáÞß .

Abu Basir has reported from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that the following be recited when the sun has set on the day of Arafaat:
Çááåã áÇ ÊÌÚáå ÂÎÑ ÇáÚåÏ ãä åÐÇ ÇáãæÞÝ¡ æÇÑÒÞäíå ãä ÞÇÈá ÃÈÏÇð ãÇ ÃÈÞíÊäí¡ æÇÞáÈäí Çáíæã ãÝáÍÇ ãäÌÍÇ ãÓÊÌÇÈÇ áí¡ ãÑÍæãÇð ãÛÝæÑÇð áí¡ ÈÃÝÖá ãÇ íäÞáÈ Èå Çáíæã ÃÍÏ ãä æÝÏß æÍÌÇÌ ÈíÊß ÇáÍÑÇã¡ æÇÌÚáäí Çáíæã ãä ÇßÑã æÝÏß Úáíß¡ æÃÚØäí ÃÝÖá ãÇ ÃÚØíÊ ÃÍÏÇð ãäåã ãä ÇáÎíÑ æÇáÈÑßÉ æÇáÑøÍãÉ æÇáÑÖæÇä æÇáãÛÝÑÉ¡ æÈÇÑß áí Ýí ãÇ ÃÑÌÚ Çáíå ãä Çåá Ãæ ãÇá Ãæ Þáíá Ãæ ßËíÑ¡ æÈÇÑß áåã Ýí .

Abu Hamza Thimali has reported that the Fifth Imam (a.s.) has stated that he who recites a hundred rakaats in the Mosque of Kheef in Mina before departing from there will be rewarded the equivalent of the worship of seventy years. He who recites subhanallah in the Mosque a hundred times will have the reward for freeing a slave. He who recites there lailahailallah a hundred times, will be rewarded the equivalent of saving a life and he who recites there alhamdulillah a hundred times will be rewarded the equivalent of giving in charity the revenue of the two Iraqs.

Do not dash my hopes today, O one who does not disappoint those seeking from Him and does not deny them. I have not brought today a weighty load of good deeds while approaching You nor do I hope from intercession of other people but I approach You confessing the wrongs I have done to myself and I have no proof or excuse. I beg You, as You are worthy, to send Your blessings on Muhammad and his progeny, grant me what I seek from You, forgive my wrongs and fulfil my wishes and do not return me rejected, denied or disappointed. O Great, O Great, O Great I have great hopes in You and beg You, O Great, to forgive my grave sins, there is no God except You.)

Then come out of Holy Kaaba and facing it with the ladder to the left, recite two rakaats by the ladder.
THE TAWAAF OF FAREWELL
It is recommended that when the pilgrim intends to depart from Makkah, he should perform a tawaaf of farewell (tawaaf ul-widaa) and in each round should salute the Hajar-ul-Aswad and Rukn-ul-Yamani. He should perform the recommended acts already set out on reaching the mustajaar. He should seek his wishes. He should then salute the Hajar-ul-Aswad and press his abdomen to the Holy Kaaba. He should hold the Hajar-ul-Aswad with one hand and the door of the Holy Kaaba with the other. Then he should thank and praise Allah, send salawaat on the Holy Prophet and his progeny and then say: Çááåã á Úáì ãÍãÏ ÚÈÏß æÑÓæáß æäÈíß æÃãíäß æÍÈíÈß æäÌíß æÎíÑÊß ãä ÎáÞß ¡ Çááåã ßãÇ ÈáÛ ÑÓÇáÇÊß æÌÇåÏ Ýí ÓÈíáß æÏÚ ÈÃãÑß æÃæÐí Ýí ÌäÈß æÚÈÏß ÍÊì ÃÊÇå ÇáíÞíä¡ Çááåã ÃÞáÈäí ãÝáÍÇ ãäÌÍÇ ãÓÊÌÇÈÇð áí ÈÃÝÖá ãÇ íÑÌÚ Èå ÃÍÏ ãä æÝÏß ãä ÇáãÛÝÑÉ æÇáÈÑßÉ æÇáÑÍãÉ æÇáÑøÖæÇä æÇáÚÇÝíÉ .
(Translation: O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad, Your slave, Messenger, Prophet, Trusted, Beloved, Noble and the best of Your creations. O Allah, just as he delivered Your message, fought in Your cause, accomplished Your commands and worshipped You to his last. O Allah, render me success, salvation, fulfilled of my wishes of the best of any pilgrim would return with forgiven, blessed and with Your pleasure and good health.)
It is recommended to depart from the Door of Hannateen and pause facing the Rukn of Shaami and seek from Allah the fortune to return. It is also recommended to purchase at the time of departure about one dirham (3.65 grams of silver) worth of dates and distribute among the poor.
SALUTATION TO THE GREAT MESSENGER (S.A.A.W.)
It is very strongly recommended that the pilgrim should return via Madinah and visit the Great Messenger (s.a.a.w.), his pure and truthful daughter (a.s.) and the Imams in the Baqi' (a.s.). The boundaries of Madinah are the Aeer and Waeer which are two mountains surrounding Madinah from east to west. Some scholars regard these places as sacrosanct and that though it is not obligatory to wear ihram there it is not permitted to cut trees or, in particular, the fresh ones except to cut those as permitted for the boundaries of Makka and it is also prohibited to hunt between the mountains. However, it is apparent that both are permitted and the opinion of prohibition is out of excess of caution.
