[108] When standing at Mount as-Safaa and Mount al-Marwah |

Jaabir (radhi-yAllaahu 'anhu) said when describing the Prophet’s (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) pilgrimage: ‘...and when he approached mount as-Safaa he recited:

[Soorah al-Baqarah, Aayah 158]

‘Indeed as-Safaa and al-Marwah are from the places of worship of Allaah...’

‘I begin with what Allaah began with.’

...so he started with as-Safaa and climbed it until he could see the Ka'bah, he then faced it and said:

‘Allaah is the greatest, Allaah is the greatest, Allaah is the greatest.’

...and then he would say the following three times making a supplication after each time:

‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, alone, without any partner. To Him belong all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent. None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah alone. He fulfilled His promise, aided His Servant and single-handedly defeated the allies.’

...He (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) would repeat this action at Marwah.
