Chapter VII: Secrets of Pilgrimage
After finishing Tawaf, take to running between the two hillocks - Safa and Merwa seven times and recite the following before doing it: There is no deity but He. There is no partner for Him. His is the kingdom and His is all praise. He giveth life and taketh life and He is eternal without death. All good is in His hands and He is powerful over all things. There is no deity but God. He is single. He has proved true. His promise, helped His servant and honoured His army and routed the allies.
There is no deity but God, being sincere to Him in worship though the polytheists dislike it. Then at the beginning of running, recite: O Lord, forgive and show mercy and pardon what Thou knowest. Thou art majestic and honourable. O God, our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the hereafter and save us from Hell.
