بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ حَجًّا مَبْرُورًا، وَذَنْبًا مَغْفُورًا، وَسَعْيًا مَشْكُورًا
In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, make it a Hajj that is accepted, a sin that is forgiven, and a deed that is appreciated.
Bismillahi, wallahu akbar. Allahumma-j'alhu hajj-an mabrur-an, wa dhanb-an maghfur-an, wa sa'y-an mashkur-an.
When to Read
This dua is recommended to be recited when stoning the Jamarat (pillars) during Hajj. Specifically, it is recited while throwing each pebble at the Jamarat al-Ula (the first pillar), Jamarat al-Wusta (the middle pillar), and Jamarat al-Aqabah (the last pillar).
How to Read
As you throw each pebble at the Jamarat, recite 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah) and 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest). After throwing the pebble, you can make this comprehensive dua for your Hajj. It's important to focus your intention on seeking Allah's acceptance of your pilgrimage, forgiveness for your sins, and reward for your efforts. Ensure you are performing the ritual in the prescribed manner, facing the pillar and throwing the pebble with your dominant hand.
Virtues & Benefits
Reciting this dua during the stoning of the Jamarat encapsulates the core aspirations of a Hajj pilgrim: seeking an accepted Hajj (hajj-an mabrur-an), the purification of sins (dhanb-an maghfur-an), and the sincere appreciation of one's striving (sa'y-an mashkur-an). An accepted Hajj, as mentioned in authentic hadith, has no reward other than Paradise. This comprehensive supplication seeks these immense blessings from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala).
Source & Authentication
Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: 'I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he came to Mina, he stoned the Jamarah by throwing seven pebbles, saying Takbir with each throw. Then he proceeded and sacrificed. Then he said: 'Allahumma-j'alhu hajj-an mabrur-an, wa dhanb-an maghfur-an, wa sa'y-an mashkur-an.' (O Allah, make it a Hajj that is accepted, a sin that is forgiven, and a deed that is appreciated.)' Note: While the specific wording 'Bismillahi, wallahu akbar' before the dua is not explicitly stated in this particular narration for the dua itself, the practice of saying 'Bismillah' and 'Allahu Akbar' with each throw is established from the Sunnah. This dua is often found in compilations of supplications for Hajj and Umrah by reliable scholars.
