دعاء الوقوف على الصفا والمروة

  1. لَمَّا دَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الصَّفَا قَرَأَ: ﴿إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآئِرِ اللَّهِ﴾ أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا فَرَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَى الْبَيْتَ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَوَحَّدَ اللَّهَ وَكبَّرَهُ وَقَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بَيْنَ ذلكَ. قَالَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَدِيثُ. وَفِيهِ: فَفَعَلَ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ كَمَا فَعَلَ عَلَى الصَّفَا.

    When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drew near to Safa, he recited: “Safa and Marwa are among the rites of Allah” (Quran 2:158), then said: “I begin with what Allah began with.” He began with Safa and climbed it until he saw the House, faced the qibla, affirmed Allah’s oneness and glorified Him, and said: “There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. There is no god worthy of worship but Allah alone: He fulfilled His promise, supported His servant and defeated the confederates alone.” Then he made supplication in between. He said this three times. At Marwa he did as he had done at Safa.
