Seeking Refuge from Evil with Allah's Perfect Words
((أَعُوذُ بكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لاَ يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلاَ فَاجِرٌ: مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ، وَبَرَأَ وَذَرَأَ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فيهَا، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلاَّ طَارِقاً يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ)).
I seek refuge in Allah's perfect words, which no righteous or wicked person can surpass. I seek refuge from the evil of all that He has created, from the evil of what descends from the heavens and what ascends to them, from the evil of what spreads across the earth and what emerges from it, and from the evil of the trials of the night and day, and the evil of every night visitor, except one who comes with good, O Most Merciful.

Stoning the Pillars at Mina
((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)).
When stoning the three pillars at Mina, the Prophet ﷺ would say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Most Great) with each pebble thrown. After stoning the first and second pillars, he would move forward, face the Qiblah, raise his hands, and make supplication. For the third pillar, he would say 'Allahu Akbar' with each pebble but then depart without making a lengthy supplication there.

Supplication at Al-Mash aril Haraam
رَكِبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْقَصْوَاءَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ (فَدَعَاهُ، وَكَبَّرَهُ، وَهَللَّهُ، وَوَحَّدَهُ) فَلَمْ يَزَلْ وَاقِفاً حَتَّى أَسْفَرَ جِدَّاً فَدَفَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمسُ.
The Prophet ﷺ rode his camel, Al-Qaswa, until he reached Al-Mash aril Haraam. He then faced the Qiblah and invoked Allah, glorifying Him, magnifying Him, and testifying to His Oneness. He remained in this state until dawn broke clearly, and then departed before sunrise.

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Great Throne. Our Lord and Lord of all things. The One who splits the grain and the date-seed.

O Allah, You are The First, so nothing is before You; You are The Last, so nothing is after You; You are The Manifest, so nothing is above You; and You are The Hidden, so nothing is closer than You. Settle our debts for us and enrich us from poverty.
