2. According to the narration from abu Basir abu ‘Abd Allah , has said the following: “When you, on the day al-Tarwiyah, decide to assume the state of Ihram, you should do what you had done when assuming the state of Ihram. You should trim your mustache, your finger nails, apply paste to remove your pubic hairs if there are any and pluck out the hairs of your under-arms. Take Ghusl (bath) and wear the two pieces of your cloth for Ihram, then go to the Sacred Masjid, perform six Rak’at Salat (prayer) before assuming Ihram. Pray to Allah, ask Him for support and say, ‘O Allah, I have decided to perform al-Hajj, so make it easy for me and release me after that; You have withheld me by Your power/ Also say, ’For Your sake I have denied myself to allow my hair, skin, flesh, blood from approaching women, perfumes and dresses. I do it for Your sake and for the sake of the next life. Release me as You have withheld me by Your power.’ Thereafter say Talbiyah (here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command) from Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid), just as you had done when assuming the state of Ihram and say, ’Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command during my performing the acts of al-Hajj and I leave its completion and acceptability to You.’ Your leaving for Mina’ if possible should take place at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime); if this cannot happen then whenever possible you should leave, on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al- Hajjah) is fine.’”
