English translation
2977. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ circumambulated the House seven times, walking rapidly in three circuits and walking (at a normal pace) in three. Then he stood at the Maqām and prayed two Rak'ahs, and recited: 'And take you (people) the Maqām (place) of Ibrāhīm as a place of prayer,'[1] raising his voice so that the people could hear. Then, he went and touched the Black Stone and went (to perform Sāṭ) and said: 'We will start with that with which Allāh started.' So he started with Aṣ-Ṣafā, climbing up until he could see the House, and he said three times: 'Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, yuḥyi wa yumītu, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadīr' (There is none worthy of worship except Allāh 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 Allāh's greatness and praised Him, 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: 'Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadīr' (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 had finished Sâ’i.” (Sahih)
