6ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا بُدَّ لِلصَّرُورَةِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَهُ فَادْخُلْهُ بِسَكِينَةٍ وَوَقَارٍ ثُمَّ ائْتِ كُلَّ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَاهُ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللهمَّ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهُ كَانَ آمِناً فَآمِنِّي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَصَلِّ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَلِيَانِ عَلَى الرُّخَامَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ وَإِنْ كَثُرَ النَّاسُ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ كُلَّ زَاوِيَةٍ فِي مَقَامِكَ حَيْثُ صَلَّيْتَ وَادْعُ الله وَاسْأَلْهُ.
6. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Sa‘id al-A’raj who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Al-Sarura (one who performs Hajj for the first time) must enter the House before his return. When you enter it, you should do so with calmness and dignity; then go to each corner and say, “O Lord, You have said, ‘Whoever enters it receives amnesty’, so grant me amnesty against suffering on the Day of Judgment”, and perform Salat (prayer) between the two pillars near the red marble. If there are many people, then face each corner from your place where you perform Salat (prayer), pray and appeal before Allah for your needs.’”
