It is Sunnah to read in the first rak`ah, S[rah al-K\fir[n; <strong>and</strong> in the<br />
second rak`ah, S[rah al-Ikhl\].<br />
If one missed the two rak`ahs after one ^aw\f <strong>and</strong> started another,<br />
then one will complete the second ^aw\f, <strong>and</strong> then perform the two<br />
rak`ahs of the first ^aw\f <strong>and</strong> then two more for the second ^aw\f.<br />
ZAMZAM<br />
Zamzam is the name of a well in Makkah that has been providing water<br />
for pilgrims from the time of Ibr\h|m u. Its water is blessed. The name<br />
Zamzam is also given to the water from this well.<br />
Unfortunately the well has had to be covered up <strong>and</strong> can no longer be<br />
viewed, but there are plenty of water barrels containing Zamzam<br />
throughout al-Masjid al-*aram.<br />
The du`\’ before drinking Zamzam is:<br />
‘ALLHUMMA ‘INN• ‘AS’ALUKA `ILMAN NFI`AW-WA<br />
RIZQAW-WSI`AW-WA SHIF’AM-MIN KULLI D’.<br />
O All\h! I ask You for beneficial knowledge,<br />
abundance of sustenance, <strong>and</strong> a cure from all maladies.<br />
al-*\kim<br />
One may also wash the face, arms <strong>and</strong> head with this water. One<br />
should drink it in three breaths (like any other drink).<br />
