Hadith #36

[دخول الكعبة] وإن أحببت أن تدخل الكعبة فأدخلها وإن شئت لم تدخلها إلا أن تكون صرورة فلا بد لك من دخولها واغتسل قبل أن تدخلها وقل إذا دخلتها " اللهم إنك قلت في كتابك: " ومن دخله كان آمنا " فآمني من عذابك عذاب النار " ثم صل بين الأسطوانتين على البلاطة الحمراء ركعتين، تقرأ في الأولى الحمد وحم السجدة وفي الثانية الحمد وعدد آيها من القرآن، وتصلي في زواياه وتقول: " اللهم من تهيا أو تعبأ أو أعد أو استعد لوفادة إلى مخلوق رجاء رفده ونوافله وجوائزه فإليك يا سيدي تهيئتي وتعبئتي وإعدادي واستعدادي رجاء رفدك ونوافلك وجائزتك فلا تخيب اليوم رجائي، يامن لا يخيب عليه سائل، ولا ينقصه نائل، ولا يبلغ مدحته قائل، فإني لم آتك بعمل صالح قدمته، ولا شفاعة مخلوق رجوتها، لكني أتيتك مقرا بالظلم و الإساءة على نفسي، أتيتك بلا حجة ولا عذر، فأسألك يا من هو كذلك ان تعطيني منيتي وتقلبني برحمتك ولا تردني محروما ولا خائبا يا عظيم يا عظيم يا عظيم أرجوك للعظيم أسألك يا عظيم أن تغفر لي الذنب العظيم، فإنه لا يغفر الذنب العظيم إلا العظيم " ولا تدخلها بحذاء ولا خف ولا تبزق فيها ولا تمتخط.

ENTERING THE KAABA If you wish to enter the Kaaba, you may do so, but it is not obligatory unless you are a first-time pilgrim (ṣarūrā), for whom entering the Kaaba is essential. Before entering, perform ghusl (ritual purification), and when you step inside, say: "O Allah , You have stated in Your Book: 'Whoever enters it is safe.' So grant me safety from Your punishment and from the punishment of Hellfire." Once inside, pray two units of prayer between the two pillars on the red stone slab. In the first unit, recite Surah Al-Fatiha followed by Surah Ha Meem Al-Sajdah. In the second unit, recite Surah Al-Fatiha and another chapter of the Quran. You may also pray in the corners of the Kaaba. While inside, say: "O Allah , the house is Your house, the sanctuary is Your sanctuary, the safety is Your safety, and the servant is Your servant. You called me to Your house and honored me by letting me visit it. O Allah , I am Your servant, seeking Your mercy and fearing Your punishment. I ask You to accept my efforts, forgive my sins, and include me among Your forgiven servants." "O Allah , whoever prepares, mobilizes, or readies themselves to visit a created being in hopes of their gifts, kindness, or rewards, here I am, O my Master, having prepared, mobilized, and readied myself for Your visit in hopes of Your generosity, kindness, and rewards. So do not disappoint my hope today, O You who never disappoints those who ask of Him, nor diminishes His blessings, nor can any speaker adequately praise Him. I have not come to You with any righteous deed I have performed, nor with any intercession from a created being I relied upon. Instead, I come to You acknowledging my wrongdoing and my misdeeds against myself. I come to You without any proof or excuse, so I ask You—O You who is as such—to grant me my wish and to return me with Your mercy, not deprived nor rejected. O Magnificent One, O Magnificent One, O Magnificent One, I beseech You for something magnificent. I ask You, O Magnificent One, to forgive me my great sins, for no one forgives great sins except the Magnificent One." And Do not enter the Kaaba with shoes or sandals, and Do not spit or blow your nose inside.
