During Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba), the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recited various supplications. Based on the provided reference, a specific recitation he consistently used was between the two corners of the Kaaba.
A Key Supplication During Tawaf
According to the reference provided, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to end his tawaf between the two corners [the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone corner] with a particular supplication.
This supplication, recited in the final section of each circuit of Tawaf, is:
“Rabbana atina fi'd-dunya hasanah wa fi'l-akhirati hasanah wa qinna 'adhab an-nar”
This beautiful Arabic supplication translates to:
"Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
Significance of the Recitation
This particular du'a (supplication) is highly comprehensive, asking for well-being in both this life and the Hereafter. Its placement between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone is a sunnah (practice of the Prophet) that pilgrims strive to follow during Tawaf.
While various other supplications and Quranic verses can be recited throughout the seven circuits of Tawaf, this specific recitation between these two corners is particularly highlighted in the provided reference as a consistent practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
