a great sinner, but he would recite Ṣalāt upon me in abundance. When
he got into this trouble, he pleaded to me. Therefore, I have come to
help him. I help every such person who recites Ṣalāt abundantly
upon me in the world.’ (Rauḍ-ur-Riyāḥīn, pp. 125)

16 Useful Madanī pearls for Ḥujjāj
1. O beloved Ḥujjāj seeking the pleasure of Allah and His
Prophet ٖ
! Congratulations to you on pilgrimage
of Hajj and Madīnaĥ. Ensure that your provisions for this
journey are ready at least 3 to 4 days before departure. It is also
beneficial to seek guidance from some experienced Ḥājī.
2. Ḥujjāj are not allowed by authorities to carry with them fruits,
cooked food, sweet-meats etc.
3. Ḥujjāj have to walk to Masjid-ul-Ḥarām from their accommodation
besides performing Ṭawāf and Sa’ī on foot. As a whole, they will
have to walk almost 7 kilometres. In addition, they will also
have to walk a lot in Minā, ‘Arafāt and Muzdalifaĥ. Therefore,
it is advisable for Ḥujjāj to make a habit of walking 45 minutes
daily long before Hajj. Otherwise, they may get into trouble as
a result of walking a lot during Hajj. (To walk 45 minutes a day
is also very beneficial from medical point of view.)
4. Make a habit of eating less, and you will see its benefit for
yourself. Stick to a strict diet particularly during the five days of
Hajj so that you would not need to go to the toilet over and over
again. There are long queues for the toilets in Minā, Muzdalifaĥ
and ‘Arafāt.
