Remembrance 12 from Chapter 153
the adkhār of pilgrimage (ḥajj)
Allāhumma laka-l-ḥamdu ḥamdan yuwāfī ni‘amak, wa yukāfī mazīdak. Aḥmaduka bi-jamī‘i maḥāmidika mā ‘alimtu minhā wa mā lam a‘lam, wa ‘alā jamī‘i ni‘amika mā ‘alimtu minhā wa mā lam a‘lam, wa ‘alā kulli ḥāl. Allāhumma ṣalli ‘alā Muḥammadin wa ‘alā āli Muḥammad. Allāhumma a‘idhnī mina-sh-Shayṭāni-r-rajīm, wa a‘idhnī min kulli sū’, wa qanni‘nī bi-mā razaqtanī wa bārik lī fīh. Allāhumma-j‘alnī min akrami wafdika ‘alayk, wa alzimnī sabīla-l-istiqāmati ḥattā alqāka yā Rabba-l-‘ālamīn.
As we said earlier, du‘ā’ is answered at the Multazam, which is between the door of the Ka‘bah and the Black Stone. One of the da‘awāt is: O Allah, to You belongs all praise, praise that is commensurate with Your bounties and equal to Your abundance. I praise You with all of Your praises—those which I know and those which I do not know—for all of Your favours—those which I know and those which I do not know—and under all conditions. O Allah, convey blessings and salutations to Muḥammad and on the family of Muḥammad. O Allah, protect me from Shayṭān the rejected, and protect me from all evil. Make me content with what You have given me as sustenance, and bless me in it. O Allah, make me one of the most noble delegation to You. Make me adhere to the path of steadfastness until I meet You, Lord of the Universe. [2].Then the pilgrim should make du‘ā’ for whatever he likes.
