It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi‘ that when Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) would ascend Safa, he would face the Ka‘bah, then recite takbeer three times, and then recite this supplication: La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer, raising his voice, and then make a brief supplication. Then he would do the same at Marwah, until in seven rounds he would do this seven times, thus making twenty-one takbeers. He would not even be close to finishing when we would already be tired, even though we were young.

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair says that a person should stand on Safa and Marwah for as long as it takes to recite Surah Muhammad.

Hazrat Hakam said to Ibrahim: I saw Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman bin Harith standing on Safa for as long as it takes a person to recite one hundred and twenty verses, even though he was also a jurist.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started from Safa and ascended it, and with these words proclaimed the oneness and greatness of Allah: There is no god but Allah. He is alone. He has no partner. His is the sovereignty and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things. There is no one worthy of worship except Allah. He is alone, He fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, and alone defeated the groups. Then he supplicated between them, and did this three times. Then he descended towards Marwah until our feet began to flow like water in the valley, until we reached Marwah while walking, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did on Marwah the same as he had done on Safa.

Hazrat Ibn Aamir says that whoever braids or plaits the hair, then shaving the head is required for them. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that it is according to the intention of the person.

15116 - Ibn Abbas said: He did not intend (1).

Hazrat Abdullah says that I set out on a Hajj journey with my paternal aunt, Hazrat Maymunah. She applied honey or gum to my head, because of which my hair became disheveled, and she put me in difficulty even though I was in the state of Ihram. I asked you (the Prophet) about it? You said: Dip your head repeatedly in water.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that whoever plaits the hair or makes a braid, then their head must be shaved.

Hazrat Umar states that whoever braids the hair, makes a plait, or ties it firmly, it is necessary for them to have their head shaved.

It was asked from Hazrat Abu al-Muhallab, he said: Whoever braids or plaits the hair, it is necessary for him to shave the hair.
