Where one stands on Safa

Al-Dahhak said: One should climb Safa until one faces the House.

When Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) climbed Mount Safa, he would face the House, say the takbir three times, and recite this supplication: 'La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir' (There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things). He would raise his voice while reciting it, and after that he would supplicate at length.

Ibrahim said: When you climb Mount Safa, stand at a place from which the House can be seen.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) climbed Safa until the House came into view.
