2957. Humaid bin Abu Sawiyyah said: I heard Ibn Hishām asking 'Atā' bin Abu Rabāh about the Yemenite Corner, when he was performing Tawāf around the House. 'Atā' said: Abu Hurairah told me that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Seventy angels have been appointed over it. Whoever says: Allāhumma inni as'alukal-'afwa wal-'āfiyah fid-dunyā wal-ākhirah; Rabbanā ātina fid-dunya hasanah, wa fil-ākhirati hasanah, wa qinā adhāban-Nār (O Allāh, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this world and in the Hereafter. Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the torment of the Fire), they say: Āmin." When he reached the Black Corner (where the Black Stone is), he said: O Abu Muhammad! What have you heard about this Black Corner? 'Atā' said: Abu Hurairah told me that he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Whoever faces it is facing the Hand of the Most Merciful." Ibn Hishām said to him: O Abu Muhammad, what about Tawāf? 'Atā' said: Abu Hurairah told me that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "Whoever performs Tawāf around the House seven times and does not say anything except: Subhān Allāh wal-hamdu lillāh, wa lā ilāha illallāh wa Allāhu Akbar, wa la hawla wa lā quwwata illa billāh (Glory is to Allāh, praise is to Allāh, none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, and there is no power nor strength except with Allāh), ten bad deeds will be erased from him, ten merits will be recorded for him, and he will be raised ten degrees in status. Whoever performs Tawāf and talks when he is in that situation, is wading in mercy like one who wades in water." (Da'if)
