and nobility, reverence, awe, and righteousness. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, abundantly, as He is worthy, and as befits the generosity of His Countenance and the Might of His Majesty. Praise be to Allah who has brought me to His House and deemed me worthy of it. And praise be to Allah in all circumstances. O Allah, You have called for the Hajj of Your Sacred House, and I have come to You for that. O Allah, accept it from me, pardon me, and rectify all my affairs; there is no god but You." Al-Shafi'i said in his "Musnad" (7): Sa'id ibn Salim informed us, from Ibn Jurayj, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), when he saw the House, would raise his hands and say: "O Allah, increase this House in nobility, dignity (8), reverence, awe, and righteousness, and increase those who honor it—from among those who perform Hajj and 'Umrah to it—in nobility, dignity, reverence, and righteousness." He also narrated (9) with his chain from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab that, when he looked at the House, he would say: "O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace, so greet us, our Lord, with peace." Some of our companions said: He should raise his voice with that.
Section: If one enters the mosque and remembers a mandatory prayer, a missed one, or if the prescribed prayer is being established, he should prioritize them over the circumambulation (tawaf), because that is a duty (fard) and the tawaf is a greeting. Moreover, if the prayer were to be established while he is in the middle of his tawaf, he would break it for the sake of the prayer, so beginning with it is more appropriate. If he fears missing the two rak'ahs of Fajr or the Witr, or if a funeral prayer is presented, he should prioritize them, because they are sunnah that he fears missing, whereas the tawaf does not "miss" (i.e., it can be performed at any time).
610 - Issue: He said: (Then he came to the Black Stone, if it was there, and he touched it (istalama-hu) if he was able, and he kissed it.)
The meaning of "istalama-hu" is that he wiped it with his hand (1). It is derived from 'al-salam' (the stone), and it refers to stones. So when one wipes the stone, it is said "istalama," meaning: he touched the stone. This was stated by Ibn Qutaybah (2). It is recommended

وتَشْرِيفًا، وتَكْرِيمًا، ومَهَابَةً، وبِرًّا، الْحَمْدُ للهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ كَثِيرًا، كما هُوَ أهْلُه، وكما يَنْبَغِى لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِه، وعِزِّ جَلَالِهِ، الحَمْدُ للهِ الذى بَلَّغَنِى بَيْتَهُ، ورَآنِى لذلك أهْلًا، والحَمْدُ للهِ على كلِّ حَالٍ، اللَّهُمَّ إنَّكَ دَعَوْتَ إلى حَجِّ بَيْتِكَ الحَرَامِ، وقد جئتُكَ لذلك، اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّى، واعْفُ عَنِّى، وأصْلِحْ لى شَأْنِى كُلَّه، لَا إلهَ إلَّا أنْتَ. قال الشَّافِعِىُّ، فى "مُسْنَدِهِ" (٧): أخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بنُ سالِمٍ، عن ابنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أنَّ رسولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- كان إذا رَأَى البَيْتَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، وقال: "اللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْرِيفًا، وتكْرِيمًا (٨)، وتَعْظِيمًا، ومَهابَةً، وَبِرًّا، وزِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ، مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ واعْتَمَرَهُ تَشْرِيفًا، وتَكْرِيمًا، وتَعْظِيمًا، وَبِرًّا". ورَوَى (٩) بإسْنَادِهِ عن سَعِيدِ بن المُسَيَّبِ، أنَّه كان حين يَنْظُرُ إلى البَيْتِ، يقول: "اللَّهُمَّ أنْتَ السَّلَامُ، ومِنْكَ السَّلَامُ حَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا بِالسَّلامِ". قال بعضُ أصْحَابِنَا: يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ بذلك.
فصل: وإذا دَخَلَ المَسْجِدَ، فذَكَرَ فَرِيضَةً أو فَائِتَةً، أو أُقِيمَتِ الصلاةُ المَكْتُوبَةُ، قَدَّمَهُما على الطَّوَافِ، لأنَّ ذلك فَرْضٌ، والطَّوَافُ تَحِيَّةٌ، ولأنَّه لو أُقِيمَتِ الصلاةُ فى أثْناءِ طَوَافِه، قَطَعَهُ لأجْلِها، فلَأن يَبْدَأ بها أوْلَى. وإن خَافَ فَوْتَ رَكْعَتَىِ الفَجْرِ، أو الوِتْرِ، أو أُحْضِرَتْ جِنَازَةٌ، قَدَّمَها؛ لأنَّها سُنَّةٌ يُخَافُ فَوتُها، والطَّوَافُ لا يَفُوتُ.
