I was travelling with Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws towards Makkah, Imam -asws after offering prayers, prayed to Allah -azwj , O! Allah make our way empty and make our journey easy and let us reach there with safety, make climbing of mountains easier for us, All distinctions belong to You -azwj [51] .

So whenever you end up to it, say, ‘بِسْمِ اللَّهِ’ In the Name of Allah -azwj ’, he -la would move away from you’. [52] Hajj with Umrah Imam -asws said: ‘We do not recommend any other type of Hajj except ‘ Hajj-e-Tumatto ’ , we greet Allah -azwj by saying this, O! Lord, we acted upon the words of Quran and traditions of Rasool Allah –saww , whereas Muslims says we have acted upon our best guess. Thus, Allah -azwj will do justice between our deeds and theirs, as per His judgement [53] .

Ritual of Hajj-e-Tumatto (First Umrah followed by Hajj)! Imam -asws . said, The Umrah and Hajj-e- Tumatto has three sets of ‘Tawaaf-e-Kabah’ and two times the act of ‘Sahi’, when you arrive at Makkah do ‘Tawaaf of Kabah’, recite two-rakat ‘salat’ at ‘Place of Ibrahim’ then do ‘Sahi’ between ‘Safa and Marwa’, that’s all in the Umrah of ‘Hajj-e- Tumatto ’.

Then there are two ‘Tawaaf-e-Kabah’ in Hajj and a single ‘Sahi’ between ‘Safa and Marwa’ and offering prayers during the Tawaaf and two-rakat salat at the ‘place of Ibrahim’ [54] . Ahram and what becomes Forbidden upon wearing it [55] It is better that an Ahram should only consist of two cotton sheets [56] , however, a third sheet/outfit could also be used for protection against cold.
