1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya has narrated from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that when you go close to the Black Stone, raise your hands, thank Allah and praise Him and say, ‘O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause).’ Appeal before Allah to accept (your good deeds). Then touch the Black Stone and kiss it, but if you cannot kiss, touch it with your hand. If you cannot touch it also, then point to it with your hand and say, ‘O Allah, I have returned my trust and (I reaffirm) my covenant that I had undertaken, so bear witness for me to my standing up by my commitment and covenant. O Allah, as verification of Your book and the noble tradition of Your Holy Prophet, I testify that no one other than Allah, who is One and has no partners, deserves worship. I also testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. I have believed in the existence of Allah and I have rejected al-Jibt and al-Taghut, al-Lat, al-‘Uzza’, (names of idols) worshipping Satan and worshipping anything considered as similar to Allah.’ If you cannot say all of this, say a part of it. Then say, ‘O Allah, before You I have extended my hands and I have a great interest in what is with You. Accept my journey, forgive me and grant me mercy. O Allah, I seek refuge with You against disbelief, poverty, losing and failure in this life as well as in the next life.’”
