1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from af-Fadf ibn Shadhan all from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that when you enter Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid), you should be barefoot, in a dignified, serene and humble manner.’ He (the Imam) said, ’One who enters in a humble manner, Allah forgives his sins by His will.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ’What is al-Khushu’ (humbleness)?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is al-Sakinah (a dignified manner). You must not enter with arrogance. When you reach the door of al-Masjid, stand up and say, “O Holy Prophet, you deserve peace, Allah’s kindness and blessings. (I commence) with the help of the name of Allah, with Allah, from Allah and with whatever Allah wishes. Peace and safety is due in favor of the prophets of Allah and His messengers. Peace and submission is due in favor of the Messenger of Allah and Ibrahim. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” When you enter al-Masjid, raise your hands, face the House and say, “O Allah, I appeal before You, in this place where I am at the beginning of the acts of my Hajj, to accept my repentance, ignore my mistakes, and remove my burdens of sins. All thanks and praise belong to Allah for taking me to His Sacred House. O Allah, I testify that this is Your Sacred House, which You have made a place for people to earn rewards, a sanctuary, a blessed (House) and guidance for the worlds. O Allah, I am your servant, this town is Your town and this house is your House. I have come to seek Your kindness with the intention to obey You, submitted to your command and I agree with your measures. I appeal before You like a helpless person before You who is afraid of Your punishment. O Allah, open for me the doors to Your kindness and mercy and make me work in obedience to You and according to Your pleasure.’””
