يُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا رَمَى بِحَصَاةٍ عِنْدَ الْجِمَارِ الثَّلاَثِ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ، ويَقِفُ يَدْعُو مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبلَةِ، رَافِعاً يَدَيْهِ بَعْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الْأُولَى وَالثَّانِيَةِ. أَمَّا جَمْرَةُ الْعَقَبَةِ فَيَرْمِيهَا وَيُكَبِّرُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ وَيَنْصَرِفُ وَلاَ يَقِفُ عِنْدَهَا

—

The Prophet (ﷺ) said Allāhu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great) with each pebble he threw at the three pillars. Then he went forward, stood facing the Qiblah, and raised his hands and called upon Allah. That was after (stoning) the first and second pillars. As for the third, he stoned it and called out Allāhu Akbar with every pebble he threw, but when he was finished he left without standing at it (for supplications).

خير الدعاء دعاء يوم عرفة ، وخيرُ ما قلت أنا والنبيُّون من قبلي :
لا إله إلا الله وحدهُ
لا شريك لهُ ،
لهُ الملكُ ولهُ الحمدُ
وهو على كل شيء قدير.

English Translation:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The best invocation is that of the Day of Arafat, and the best that anyone can say is what I and the Prophets before me have said:

Lā ‘ilāha ‘illallāhu
waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu,
lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu
wa huwa `alā kulli shay’in qadīr.

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah
Alone, Who has no partner.
His is the dominion and His is the praise,
and He is Able to do all things.

(لَمَّا دَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الصَّفَا قَرَأَ: ﴿إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآئِرِ اللَّهِ﴾ “أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ” فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا فَرَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَى الْبَيْتَ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَوَحَّدَ اللَّهَ وَكبَّرَهُ وَقَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بَيْنَ ذلكَ. قَالَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ) الْحَدِيثُ. وَفِيهِ: (فَفَعَلَ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ كَمَا فَعَلَ عَلَى الصَّفَا)

English Translation:

Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) approached Mount Safa, he would recite:
Innaṣ-Ṣafā wa ‘l-Marwata min sha`ā’irillāh.
Abda’u bimā bada’allāhu bih.
He began (his Sa`y) at Mount Safa climbing it, until he could see the House. He then faced the Qiblah repeating the words:
Lā ilāha illallāh, Allāhu Akbar
Then he said:
Lā ilāha ‘illallāh
waḥdahu lā sharīka lah,
Lahu ‘l-mulku wa lahu ‘l-ḥamd
wa Huwa `alā kulli shay’in Qadīr,
lā ‘ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu,
anjaza wa`dahu, wa naṣara `abdahu,
wa hazama ‘l ‘aḥzāba waḥdah.
Then he would ask Allah for what he liked, repeating the same three times. He did at Mount Marwah as he did at Mount Safa.

Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) approached Mount Safa, he would recite:

Surely Safa and Marwah are among the signs of Allah. I begin by that which Allah began.

He began (his Sa’y) at Mount Safa climbing it until he could see the House. He then faced the Qiblah repeating the words:

There is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Most Great.

Then he said:

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, He fulfilled His Promise, He aided His slave, and He alone defeated Confederates.

Then he would ask Allah for what he liked, repeating the same thing like this three times. He did at Mount Marwah as he did at Mount Safa.
