If you are going to stay in Madīnah for three days, establish your prayers in the complete format. The same applies to staying in Makkah. If you are going to stay in Madīnah for three days, fast three days, starting on a Wednesday. Pray Tuesday night next to the Pillar of Repentance (in the Mosque of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.)) which is where Abū Lubābah tied himself until his forgiveness was revealed from the heavens. Then on Wednesday, (fast and) sit by the same pillar all day. At night, come next to the grave of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) and spend that night and the next day there, fasting on Thursday. Then on Thursday night, come to the pillar next to the grave of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) and establish prayers there throughout the night and throughout the day Friday. You should also fast on Friday. If possible, do not speak during these three days, except to say that which you have to say, and do not leave the mosque unless it is necessary. If you can, do not sleep at night or during the day, for this will add to the grace of this act. Then finally on Friday, praise Allāh, sanctify Him, send blessing on the Prophet (s.a.a.w.), and ask for your needs. The following should be recited along with your other supplications: . O Allāh! I come to You through Your Prophet, Muḥammad, the Prophet of Mercy, to fulfill all of my needs, from the smallest to the greatest. And (I ask You to fulfill) those needs which I hastened in asking and begging for, and (also to fulfill) those needs which I did not hasten to ask for, and (those needs) which I did not even ask to be fulfilled.
