When he finished the two rak’ahs, he would supplicate between Safa and Marwah as follows: O Allah! Protect me through Your religion, through obedience to You, and through obedience to Your Messenger. O Allah! Save me from transgressing Your limits. O Allah! Make me among those whom You love, and whom Your angels and Your Messengers love, and whom Your righteous servants love. O Allah! Make me beloved to You, and beloved to Your angels and Your Messengers. O Allah! Grant me the goodness which You will grant to Your righteous servants in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah! Make things easy for me, and save me from hardship, and forgive me in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah! Grant me the ability to fulfill the promise which You have made to me. O Allah! Make me among the righteous leaders, and forgive my mistakes on the Day of Reckoning.
