According to a Tradition handed down by the family of the Prophet, on them be
peace: “No one sins more grievously than he who stands at Arafat and supposes
that Allah, the Almighty has not forgiven him.”
According to ibn Abbas, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “One
hundred and twenty mercies descend upon this House each day; sixty for the
circumambulants, forty for those performing prayers and twenty for those who
just look at it.”
Another Tradition says: “Make frequent circuits of the House, for this will be
among the glories of your records on the Day of Resurrection, and the most
fortunate action credited to you.”
Circumambulation is therefore commendable on its own account, not only as part
of the Pilgrimage or Visitation. Tradition recounts: “To circuit seven times,
barefoot or bareheaded, is as meritorious as freeing a slave, while he who
circumambulates seven times in the rain is forgiven all his previous sins.”
