Ten days after having left Medina the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) and the
pilgrims reached the pass through which he had entered Mecca on the day of its
opening, and spent the night there.
The following morning was the fourth day of Dhul Hijja whereupon the Prophet (salla
Allahu alihi wa sallam) and his Companions made their intention to offer the lesser
pilgrimage and assumed the state of "Ihram", which is a state in which certain
permissible deeds are no longer permissible to pilgrims, then donned the unstitched
white robe of pilgrimage.
Now that their intention had been made they resumed the final part of their journey into
Mecca. Soon after, the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) gazed upon the beloved
Ka‟bah whereupon he released the rein's of his camel as he reverently raised his hands
up high, as he supplicated, "O Allah, increase this House in honor and greatness; in
bounty and in reverence, and piety that it gives to mankind.”
He now stood before Ka‟bah then completed the seven rounds after which he offered his
prayer at the Station of Abraham, which is the place where Abraham stood when he and
pilgrims reached the pass through which he had entered Mecca on the day of its
opening, and spent the night there.
