Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

HIS SA’I

He then returned to Hajar-ul-Aswad and kissed it, (the kissing was for Sa’i.Just as before commencing tawaf of Baitullah, Hjarul Aswad is kissed, so it is done before the Sa’i.) after which he went out from a gate (for Sa’i) to as-Safa on coming near to which he recited.

(Verily Safa and - Marwah are among the signs appointed by ALLAAH)-11/158 adding,” l begin my Sa’i from this as-Safa which has been mentioned by ALLAAH in this ayah.” So he went first to as-Safa and mounting it till he could see the Baitullah, he stood facing the QIBLAH and busied himself in takbir - watahmid i.e. he declared ALLAH’s unity; proclaimed His greatness and said:

(There is no God but ALLAH alone who has no partner, to Him belongs the dominion, to Him praise is due, and He is Omnipotent, there is no God but ALLAH alone Who alone has fulfilled His promise, helped His servants and routed the confederates. He then made supplication in the course of that he said these words three times. He then descended and walked towards al-Marwah, and when his feet came down into the bottom of the valley he ran and when began to ascend he walked till he reached al-Marwah. There he did as he had done at al-Safa (i.e. repeated the same words).
