2964. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ circumambulated the House seven times, walking rapidly (Raml) in three, and walking (at a regular pace) for four. Then he stood near the Maqâm and prayed two Rak'ahs. Then he recited: 'And take you the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhîm as a place of prayer,'[2] raising his voice, so that the people would hear. Then he went (to perform Sâ't) and said: 'We will start with that with which Allâh started.' So he started with Aş-Şafâ, climbing up, until he could see the House, and he said three times: Lâ ilâha illallâh, waḥdahu lā sharîka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, yuḥyî wa yumîtu, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadîr (There is none worthy of worship except Allâh alone with no partner or associate, His is the dominion and to Him be praise, He gives life and death, and He has power over all things).’ Then exclaimed Allâh’s greatness, then he supplicated as much as was decreed for him. Then he came down walking until he reached level ground at the bottom of the valley. Then he hastened until the ground began to rise. Then he walked until he came to Al-Marwah and climbed up it, and when he could see the House he said: ‘Lâ ilâha illallâh, wahdahû lâ sharîka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, yuhyi wa yumîtu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadîr’ (There is none worthy of worship except Allâh alone with no partner or associate, His is the dominion and to Him be praise, and He has power over all things).’ He said that three times, then he remembered Allâh and glorified and praised Him, then he supplicated there for as long as Allâh willed. And he did that until he finished Sâ’i.” (Sahîh)
