COURTESIES OF THE STAY AT ARAFAAT

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:

(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:

(Translation: O Allah, the sustainer of all the places for the ceremonies. Spare my neck from the fire of Hell, increase my sustenance from lawful sources and keep me away from harm from the evil among the jinn and mankind.)
Then say:

(Translation: O Allah, I ask You by Your power, generosity, charity, favour and bestowal, O the Best of the Listeners, the Greatest of those who See, the Quickest in taking Account and the most Merciful of the Merciful, send Your blessings on Muhammad and his progeny and grant me (and then ask for your wishes).
