Invocation to be recited while standing at Safa and Marwah

Hisn al-Muslim 236Hajj and Umrah
Narration
When the Prophet approached Ṣafā, he recited:

لَمَّا دَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الصَّفَا قَرَأَ:

﴿إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآئِرِ اللَّهِ﴾ أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ

Inna aṣ-ṣafā wa-l-marwata min shaʿāʾiri llāhi abdaʾu bimā badaʾa llāhu bih

Indeed, Ṣafā and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. I begin with what Allah began with.

He climbed Ṣafā until he could see the Kaʿbah, faced the qiblah, and proclaimed Allah’s oneness and greatness:

فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا فَرَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَى الْبَيْتَ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَوَحَّدَ اللَّهَ وَكبَّرَهُ

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

Lā ilāha illā llāhu, allāhu akbar

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. Allah is the Greatest.

Repeat this 3 times

He then said:

وَقَالَ:

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ

Lā ilāha illā llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahu l-mulku walahu l-ḥamdu wahuwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun, lā ilāha illā llāhu waḥdahu, anjaza waʿdahu, wa naṣara ʿabdahu, wa hazama l-ʾaḥzāba waḥdah

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, without partner. To Him belongs all dominion, and to Him belongs all praise. He has power over all things. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone. He fulfilled His promise, supported His servant, and defeated the allied forces alone.

He made a personal supplication between repetitions and repeated the remembrance three times. At Marwah, he repeated the same sequence of remembrance and personal supplication.

ثُمَّ دَعَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَفَعَلَ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ كَمَا فَعَلَ عَلَى الصَّفَا
