Ghusl upon entering Mecca
When the pilgrim approaches Mecca, he must perform ghusl
before entering, if possible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) did so before entering Mecca. Narrated by Muslim, 1259.
Then he must move to the right, with the Ka'bah on his left,
and when he reaches the Yemeni Corner ( al-Rukn al-Yamaani , which is the third
corner after the Black Rock) he must touch it, without kissing his hand or
saying "Allaahu akbar." If you can not touch it, you must continue,
and not pile up there. Between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Rock you should
say: " Rabbanaa aatina fi'l-dunya hasanah wa fi'l-aajirah hasanah wa qinna
'adhaab al-Naar (Our Lord! Give us in this world what is good, and in the
Hereafter what is good, and save us from the torment of Hell). " Narrated
by Abu Dawud and classified as hasan by al-Albaani in Sahih Abi Dawud , 1666.
Every time you go through the Black Rock you should look at
it and say: Allaahu akbar ', and in the rest of your tawaaf you should recite
whatever you want from dhikr, du'a' and Qur'an, because the tawaaf around the
Ka'bah has been established in commemoration of Allah.
When he reaches the green mark he must run as fast as he can
without disturbing anyone, because it is proven that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed the sa'i between al-Safa and
al-Marwah , and said: "The bed of the river is not crossed unless it is
done vigorously." Narrated by Ibn Maayah and classified as saheeh by
al-Albaani in Saheeh ibn Maajyah , 2419. The riverbed [was a dry river in the
time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] is the area
between the two green marks that remain there today.
