Hisn al-Muslim 238

Arabic hadith text

رَكِبَ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْقَصْوَاءَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ (فَدَعَاهُ، وَكَبَّرَهُ، وَهَللَّهُ، وَوَحَّدَهُ) فَلَمْ يَزَلْ وَاقِفاً حَتَّى أَسْفَرَ جِدَّاً فَدَفَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمسُ.

Translation

He, peace and blessings be upon him, rode al-Qaswa until he reached al-Mashʿar al-Haram. He faced the qiblah, supplicated, magnified Allah, proclaimed “There is no deity but Allah”, and affirmed His oneness. He remained standing until the light grew quite bright, then set out before the sun rose.
