COURTESIES DURING TAWAAF


COURTESIES DURING TAWAAF

Muawiyah bin Ammaar bin Abi Abdillah (a.s.) reports that during Tawaaf the following supplication be made:

(Translation: O Allah, I beseech You by Your name which makes possible motion in the darkness of water as it does on land. I beseech You by Your name which makes Your Arsh swing. I beseech You by Your name which puts in motion the feet of Your angels. I beseech You by Your name by which Moosa supplicated to You on the Mount Ayman and You granted his supplication and met him with love. I beseech You by Your name by which You granted forgiveness to Muhammad of his past and future sins and completed Your bounty on him, treat me with (ask for your wishes).
When you reach the door of the Holy Kaaba, send blessings on Muhammad and his holy progeny (a.s.) and say between Rukn-ul-Yamaani and the Black Stone:

(Translation: O Allah, grant me goodness in this world and the Hereafter and save me from the fire of Hell.)

And say during Tawaaf :

(Translation: I am a beggar to You, fearful and seeking Your refuge. Do not change my body or my name.)

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) has said that when Ali bin Hussein (a.s.) reached the Hijr before reaching the Meezaab, he would raise his head and say while looking at the Meezaab:

(Translation: O Allah, place me in Heaven by Your mercy, save me, by Your mercy, from the fire, protect me from evil, increase for me lawful sustenance, and save me from the viciousness of the jinn, men, Arabs and non-Arabs.)

It has been authentically reported from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) that when you reach the back of the Holy Kaaba having passed the Hijr, say:

(Translation: O one of bounty, might, generosity and nobility, my efforts are weak, make them stronger and accept them from me, verily You are All-Hearing, All-Knowing.)

It has been reported from Abul Hassan Ridha (a.s.) that on reaching the Rukn-ul-Yamaani, one should raise hands and say:

(Translation: O Allah, O controller of health and its provider, one who grants it, one who bestows it as a reward or as a grace on me and all creation, O Merciful in this world and the Hereafter, send.Your blessings on Muhammad and his progeny, grant me health, lasting and complete and thankfulness for it, in this world and in the Hereafter, by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.)

It has been reported from Abi Abdulla (a.s.) that when the pilgrim completes the Tawaaf and reaches the 'mustajaar' which is a little before the Rukn-ul-Yamaani, he must stretch his hands onto the Holy Kaaba, cling to it and say:

(Translation: O Allah, this house is Yours and this creature is Yours and this is the place for taking refuge to You from the fire of Hell.)

Then make confession of your sins for there is no faithful who makes confessions to his Lord in this place without Allah forgiving him, Allah willing, and say:

(Translation: O Allah, comfort, success and health come from You. O Allah, my efforts are weak and so grant them strength and forgive me the sins which are so apparent to You but concealed from Your creatures.)

Then seek refuge of Allah from the fire of Hell and engross yourself in supplication. Then make salutation to the Rukn-ul-Yamaami as is stated in another report from him (a.s.). Then kiss the Rukn-ul-Yamaani and the corner in which the Black Stone is placed and say:

(Translation: O Allah , grant me contentment in the sustenance. You have provided me and bestow Your blessing on it.)
It is recommended to make a salutation to each corner of the Holy Kaaba in each Tawaaf and when making salaam to the Black Stone to say:

(Translation: I have discharged the trust reposed with me and fulfilled my promise so that You can be the witness of my fulfilment.)
