3السعيSa'i

UmrahBetween Safa and Marwa hills, Masjid al-Haram, Makkah30 minutes to 1.5 hours

Sa'i involves walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa, commemorating Hajar's (wife of Prophet Ibrahim) desperate search for water for her infant son Ismail. The pilgrim starts at Safa and ends at Marwa. Upon ascending Safa, the pilgrim faces the Kaaba, raises their hands, and makes dua. Men walk briskly (jog) between the two green-lit pillars. This act of devotion remembers Allah's mercy in providing the well of Zamzam.

Duas & Supplications

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ، أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ

Transliteration

Innas-Safa wal-Marwata min sha'a'irillah, abda'u bima bada'allahu bih

Translation

Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. I begin with what Allah began with (said at the start of Sa'i at Safa).

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ

Transliteration

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. La ilaha illallahu wahdah, anjaza wa'dah, wa nasara 'abdah, wa hazamal-ahzaba wahdah

Translation

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion, His is the praise, and He is able to do all things. There is no god but Allah alone. He fulfilled His promise, gave victory to His servant, and defeated the confederates alone (recited on Safa and Marwa).
