O Lord, from You is comfort and ease.’ Then touch al-Yemaniy corner; then go to the Black Stone and complete your Tawaf at that point.’” (Ahadith 2-3 of this Chapter are best explained in the form of fatwa).

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When you complete your Tawaf and reach the backside of al-Ka‘bah, it is next to al-Mustajar a little before al-Yemaniy corner, spread your hands over the House wall. You should make your belly and face touch the wall of the House and say, “O Allah, the House is Your House, the servant is Your servant and this is the place where one seeks protection with You against the hellfire.” Then confess before your Lord to what you have done. Whoever of the believing people confesses before his Lord to his sins at this place, Allah forgives him, by the will of Allah. Then say, “O Allah, from You is happiness, comfort and good health. O Allah, my deed is weak, so increase it for me; forgive my sins of which You are aware but Your creatures are not aware of.” Then seek protection with Allah against the hellfire and choose any prayer for yourself. Then touch al-Yemaniy corner, then go to the Black Stone.’”
