Proceed to As-Safa and climb it if possible. Face the Ka‟bah, raise hands in
supplication, and say:
Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdah, laa shareeka lah. Lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shayin

There is no god worthy of worship except Allaah, the One without a partner. His is the dominion and His
is the praise, and He has power over everything. There is no god worthy of worship except Allaah, alone.
He fulfilled His promise, and supported His slave, and defeated the parties (of the unbelievers) alone.
The Sunnah is to repeat this du‟aa three times, making other du‟aa after the first
and second times. After the third time you proceed with walking to Al-Marwah.
19
On the way to Al-Marwah supplicating to Allaah.
Men must run/jog between the two green
markers each time they pass.
Arriving at Al-Marwah completes one circuit.
At Al-Marwah, do as you did on as-Safaa by
repeating the supplications 3 times whilst
facing the Ka‟bah at the foot of Al-Marwah.
Then start the journey back to As-Safaa, doing as you did before.
After completing the seventh circuit and reaching Al-Marwah the Sa‟ee is
complete. The total distance covered for all 7 trips is approx. 2 miles.
It is better to be in a state of purification but it is not necessary for Sa‟ee.

the Jamarah al-Aqabah).

So when you have accomplished
your manaasik (i.e. the rites of Hajj)
remember Allaah as you remember
your forefathers or with a far more
remembrance. [Al-Baqarah 2:200]
