Dua for Hajj/Umrah

Full Hadith

Ja'far b. Muhammad reported on the authority of his father: We went to Jabir b. Abdullah and he began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Husain. He placed his hand upon my head and opened my upper button and then the lower one and then placed his palm on my chest (in order to bless me), and I was, during those days, a young boy, and he said: You are welcome, my nephew. Ask whatever you want to ask. And I asked him but as he was blind (he could not respond to me immediately), and the time for prayer came. He stood up covering himself in his mantle. And whenever he placed its ends upon his shoulders they slipped down on account of being short (in size). Another mantle was, however, lying on the clothes rack nearby. And he led us in the prayer. I said to him: Tell me about the Hajj of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). And he pointed with his hand nine, and then stated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed in (Medina) for nine years but did not perform Hajj. Then he made a public announcement in the tenth year to the effect that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was about to perform the Hajj. A large number of persons came to Medina and all of them were anxious to follow the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and do according to his doing. We set out with him till we reached Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Asma' daughter of Umais gave birth to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr. She sent a message to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) asking him: What should I do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then mounted al-Qaswa (his she-camel), and it stood erect with him on its back at al-Baida'. And I saw, as far as I could see in front of me, riders and pedestrians, and also on my right and on my left and behind me like this. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was prominent among us and the (revelation) of the Holy Qur'an was descending upon him. And it is he who knows its true significance. And whatever he did, we also did that. He pronounced the Oneness of Allah (saying): "Labbaik, O Allah, Labbaik, Labbaik. Thou hast no partner. Praise and grace are Thine, and the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no partner." And the people also pronounced this Talbiya which they pronounce (today). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) did not reject anything out of it. But the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) adhered to his own Talbiya. Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: We did not have any other intention but that of Hajj only, being unaware of the Umra (at that season). But when we came with him to the House, he touched the pillar and (made seven circuits), running three of them and walking four. And then, going to the Station of Ibrahim, he recited: "And adopt the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." And this Station was between him and the House. My father said (and I do not know whether he had made mention of it, but that was from Allah's Apostle [may peace be upon him]) that he recited in two rak'ahs: "Say: He is Allah, One," and "Say: O unbelievers." He then returned to the pillar (Hajar Aswad) and kissed it. He then went out of the gate to al-Safa', and as he reached near it he recited: "Al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the signs appointed by Allah," (adding:) I begin with what Allah has commanded me to begin. He first mounted al-Safa' till he saw the House, and facing Qibla he declared the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and said: "There is no god but Allah, One, there is no partner with Him. His is the Sovereignty; to Him praise is due, and He is Powerful over everything. There is no god but Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant and routed the confederates alone." He then made supplication in the course of that, saying such words three times. He then descended and walked towards al-Marwa, and when his feet came down in the bottom of the valley he ran, and when he began to ascend he walked till he reached al-Marwa. There he did as he had done at al-Safa'. And when it was his last running at al-Marwa he said: If I had known beforehand what I have come to know afterwards, I would not have brought sacrificial animals and would have performed an Umra. So he who among you has not the sacrificial animals with him should put off Ihram and treat it as an Umra. Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'sham got up and said: Messenger of Allah, does it apply to the present year, or does it apply forever? Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) intertwined the fingers (of one hand) into another and said twice: The Umra has become incorporated in the Hajj (adding): No, but forever and ever. 'Ali came from the Yemen with the sacrificial animals for the Prophet (may peace be upon him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and had applied antimony. He (Hadrat 'Ali) showed disapproval of it, whereupon she said: My father has commanded me to do this. He (the narrator) said that 'Ali used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), showing annoyance at Fatimah for what she had done, and asked the verdict of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) regarding what she had narrated from him, and told him that I was angry with her, whereupon he said: She has told the truth, she has told the truth. (The Prophet then asked 'Ali:) What did you say when you undertook to go for Hajj? I ('Ali) said: O Allah, I am putting on Ihram for the same purpose as Thy Messenger has put it on. He said: I have with me sacrificial animals, so do not put off the Ihram. He (Jabir) said: The total number of those sacrificial animals brought by 'Ali from the Yemen and of those brought by the Apostle (ﷺ) was one hundred. Then all the people except the Apostle (ﷺ) and those who had with them sacrificial animals put off Ihram and got their hair clipped. When it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhu'l-Hijja) they went to Mina and put on the Ihram for Hajj, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) rode and led the noon, afternoon, sunset, 'Isha', and dawn prayers. He then waited a little till the sun rose and commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at Namira. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then set out, and the Quraish did not doubt that he would halt at al-Mash'ar al-Haram (the sacred site), as the Quraish used to do in the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), however, passed on till he came to 'Arafa, and he found that the tent had been pitched for him at Namira. There he got down till the sun had passed the meridian. He commanded that al-Qaswa should be brought and saddled for him. Then he came to the bottom of the valley and addressed the people, saying: Verily your blood and your property are as sacred and inviolable as the sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours. Behold! Everything pertaining to the Days of Ignorance is under my feet, completely abolished. Abolished are also the blood-revenges of the Days of Ignorance. The first claim of ours on blood-revenge which I abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a b. al-Harith, who was nursed among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Hudhail. And the usury of the pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the first of our usury I abolish is that of 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib, for it is all abolished. Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by the word of Allah. You too have rights over them: that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely. Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray. And you will be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection); now tell me, what will you say? They said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed the message, discharged the ministry of Prophethood, and given sincere counsel. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people said: O Allah, be witness. O Allah, be witness — saying it thrice. (Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later Iqama, and he (the Holy Prophet) led the noon prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the afternoon prayer, and he observed no other prayer in between the two. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then mounted his camel and came to the place of stay, making his she-camel al-Qaswa turn towards the side where there were rocks, having the path taken by those who went on foot in front of him, and faced the Qibla. He kept standing there till the sun set and the yellow light had somewhat gone and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He made Usama sit behind him and pulled the nose-string of Qaswa so forcefully that its head touched the saddle (in order to keep her under perfect control). He pointed out to the people with his right hand to be moderate in speed. And whenever he happened to pass over an elevated tract of sand, he slightly loosened the nose-string of his camel till she climbed up. And this is how he reached al-Muzdalifa. There he led the evening and 'Isha' prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamas and did not observe supererogatory rak'ahs between Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then lay down till dawn and offered the dawn prayer with an Adhan and Iqama when the morning light was clear. He again mounted al-Qaswa, and when he came to al-Mash'ar al-Haram he faced towards the Qibla, supplicated Him, glorified Him, and pronounced His Oneness (La ilaha illa Allah), and kept standing till the daylight was very clear. He then went quickly before the sun rose, and seated behind him was al-Fadl b. 'Abbas, and he was a man having beautiful hair, fair complexion, and a handsome face. As the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was moving on, there was also going a group of women. Al-Fadl began to look at them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) placed his hand on the face of Fadl, who then turned his face to the other side and began to look again. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned his hand to the other side and placed it on the face of al-Fadl. He again turned his face to the other side till he came to the bottom of Muhassir. He urged her (al-Qaswa) a little and, following the middle road which comes out at the greatest jamra, he came to the jamra which is near the tree. At this he threw seven small pebbles, saying Allahu Akbar while throwing every one of them in a manner in which the small pebbles are thrown (with the help of fingers), and this he did in the bottom of the valley. He then went to the place of sacrifice and sacrificed sixty-three camels with his own hand. Then he gave the remaining number to 'Ali, who sacrificed them, and he shared him in his sacrifice. He then commanded that a piece of flesh from each animal sacrificed should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked, both of them (the Prophet and Hadrat 'Ali) took some meat out of it and drank its soup. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) again rode and came to the House and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mecca. He came to the tribe of 'Abd al-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam, and said: Draw water, O Bani 'Abd al-Muttalib. Were it not that people would usurp this right of supplying water from you, I would have drawn it along with you. So they handed him a bucket and he drank from it.
