Fath al-Rabbani

Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.

Nafi’ narrates that when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would reach near the Haram, he would stop reciting the Talbiyah, and when he reached Dhi Tuwa, he would spend the night there. When morning came, after the Fajr prayer, he would perform ghusl and narrate that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do the same. After that, he would enter Makkah at the time of Duha, go to the House of Allah, perform Istilam of the Black Stone and say: Bismillah Allahu Akbar. Then, in the first three circuits of Tawaf, he would perform Raml, and between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone, he would walk at a normal pace. When he approached the Black Stone, he would perform Istilam and say Allahu Akbar. In the remaining four circuits, he would walk at a normal pace. Afterwards, he would come to the Maqam Ibrahim and perform two rak’ahs, then return to the Black Stone and perform Istilam again. Then, taking the route of the large gate, he would go towards Safa, stand on it and say Takbir seven times, of which three times he would say Allahu Akbar, and recite this supplication: La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu’l-mulku wa lahu’l-hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer.

Nafi’ narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to spend the night at Dhi Tuwa. When morning came, he would perform ghusl (ritual bath) and would order those with him to perform ghusl as well. He would enter Makkah from the direction of Thaniyyah ‘Ulya, but when leaving Makkah, he would go by the route of Thaniyyah Sufla. Then he used to say that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do the same.
