If one is riding, one should hasten the pace between the minarets. One must perform the saee in earnestness, weeping and supplicating intensely. COURTESIES IN IHRAM DURING THE STAY AT ARAFAAT Whatever has been stated above in respect of the courtesies in the state of ihram during Umrah, apply equally to the state of ihram in Hajj.

When one has worn the ihram for Hajj, and departed from Makkah, one must say the talbiyyah on the way but not in loud voice till one reaches Abtah when it must be recited aloud. When one notices Mina, one should say: اللهم إياك أرجو وإياك أدعوا ، فبلغني أملي وأصلح لي علمي (Translation: O Allah, I place all my hopes in You and supplicate to You.

Fulfil my hopes and put my actions in order.) Then proceed to Mina peacefully and with seriousness, engrossed in remembrance of Allah and on reaching there, say: الحمد لله الذي أقدمنيها صالحاً في عافية وبلغني هذا المكان (Translation: All praise is due to Allah who brought me to Mina in sound health and reached me to this place.) Then say: اللهم وهذه منى ، وهي مما مننت به على أوليائك من المناسك ، فأسألك أن تصلي على محمد وآل محمد ، وأن تمن عليّ فيها بما مننت على اوليائك وأهل طاعتك فإنما أنا عبدك وفي قبضتك (Translation: O Allah, this is Mina where You have graced us with performance of ceremonies.

I beseech You for the grace You have bestowed on Your Prophets, for I am one of Your servants and in Your power.) It is recommended that the eve of Arafaat be spent in Mina in the worship of Allah, the High and its preferred form is prayers (salaat) in the mosque at Kheef. After dawn, one must continue in prayer till sunrise and then move to Arafaat. There is no objection in departing from Mina before sunrise.

When one notices Arafaat, one should say: اللهم إليك صمدت وإياك اعتمدت ووجهك أردت ، فأسألك إن تبارك لي في رحلتي ، وأن تقضي لي حاجتي ، وأن تجعلني ممن تباهي به اليوم من هو أفضل مني (Translation: O Allah, I turn to You, repose trust in You and seek Your pleasure. I beseech You to bless my journey, fulfil my wishes and include me among those superior to me whom You honour today.) When one reaches Arafaat, one should recite the talbiyyah.
