Hazrat Ubaid al-Maktab narrates that Ibrahim said: Whenever you perform Istilam of Hajar al-Aswad, recite these words: There is no deity except Allah and Allah is the Greatest.

Hazrat Abu Ishaq states that Hazrat Mujahid said: It is recommended that while performing Istilam of Hajar Aswad, one should say: O Allah! While affirming Your Book and acting upon the Sunnah of Your Prophet, (I perform Istilam).

Hazrat Abdullah bin Sa’ib narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting this supplication between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone: O our Lord! Grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of Hell.

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair narrates that one of the supplications of Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) was this, which he never forgot to recite between the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner: O Allah! Grant me contentment in the sustenance You have provided me, and bless it for me, and be my successor in that which is absent, in which there is good for me.

Hazrat Abu Sha'bah narrates that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to recite this supplication between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone: Our Lord! Grant us goodness in this world, and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of Hell.

Hazrat Mujahid states that Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: There is an angel appointed at the Yemeni Corner who says Ameen to supplications, so whenever you pass by it, recite this supplication: O Allah! Our Lord, grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of Hell.

Hazrat Jabir narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started from the Safa hill and ascended it until he could see the Ka'bah. He proclaimed the oneness of Allah and recited the takbeer. And he recited these words: "There is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things. There is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, and He alone defeated all the groups." Then he supplicated between the two (Safa and Marwah) and recited these words three times in the same manner. Then he proceeded to the Marwah hill, and on Marwah he did as he had done on Safa.

Hazrat Wahb bin Al-Ajda’ narrates that I heard Hazrat Umar saying: When you stand on the Safa hill, say Takbeer seven times, and between every two Takbeers, praise and glorify Allah, send blessings upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and pray for yourself. Do the same on the Marwah hill.

Hazrat Wahb bin Al-Ajda’ narrates that I heard Hazrat Umar saying: The beginning will be made from the Safa hill, and first, face towards the House of Allah (Ka’bah), then say Takbeer seven times, and between every two Takbeers, praise and glorify Allah, send blessings upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and supplicate for yourself. And the same will be done at the Marwah hill.

Hazrat Nafi’ reports that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) when he would ascend the Safa hill, he would face the Ka’bah, then say takbeer three times, then recite these words: There is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is powerful over everything, and he would raise his voice with these words. Then he would supplicate for a while, then do the same on the Marwah hill, continuing in this manner for seven rounds, so that the number of takbeers would become twenty-one. Even though we were young, we would become very tired near the end.
