bhai, i've been looking thru my books and in the 'guide to hajj, umrah and visiting the prophet's mosque' which i believe the saudis give you on arrival at jeddah airport, it mentions in the section 'errors committed by prilgrims' and i quote "7. saying specific formulas of supplications for each circuit. the prophet may the peace and blessings of allah be upon him, did not sppecify any supplications except the saying of ALLAHU AKBAR when he reached the black stone , and at the end of each circuit between the yemeni corner and the black stone he used to say: rabbana aatina fid dunya hasanatan wa fil aakhirati hasanatan wa qina adhaaban naar"
'a manual of the rites of hajj' also states "du'aa, dhikr and asking for forgiveness should be increased during the tawaaf... there is no specific type or limit to the number of du'aa in the tawaaf. one who specifies for every tawaaf or sa'ee special prayers, is doing so without any basis"
but in my other book, 'handbook for hajj and umrah' it says "there are no specific prayers to be recited during tawaaf ... however the prayers most often recited can be found in chapter 6" and chapter 6 has the du'as that are recited for each circuit so if u still want them, i can scan them for u.
but i advise u to look further into this issue because there seems to be some sort of difference of opinion regarding the matter. if the prophet peace be upon him didnt recite them, should we be?

believe me im following more then just a handful of scholars sis. And ive been in their presence long enough to know their love for islam and adherence to sunnah.
Infact just today one of them (A teacher of Darul Hadis Latifia) mentioned that they are translating more and more works to clarify these issues which plague the minds of many young muslims. Most hadith books are arabic/urdu/bengali etc that they read so its hard for us to read the daleel.
Believe me sis... ive researched a crazy amount on this. And i know there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with reciting a formulised dua if a pious person once recited it and if it says nothing but good. And i intend to do just that after the sunnah of course.
For example is it wrong to recite the dua of abu hanifah which he mentioned after he saw the ka'ba first time ("Oh Allah let every dua i recite here after be n accepted dua"), likewise the other dua's are also valid as long as they conform with islam !
Sis Danah I feared i was mispronouncing it. Tashkeel sounds right.
jazakAllah khair ! i'll print out what you have provided and add the tashkeel!

I agree that according to the sunnah there are no fixed duaas for each circuit. I also agree that if there is a duaa in a book that you like, you can read that too. The problem is that people get so hung up on books, and what's for which circuit, that they often end up just reading Arabic from a book, and might not know the meaning of what they are reading.
It's far better to praise Allah and make any du'aas personal to you that you want to make. You can make them in your own language too. This is your time for your communication with your Rabb in His house. Whatever you say to him or ask from Him should be deeply meant, come from the depths of your heart, and ideally you should know what you are saying. If that means it being in your own language, so be it.
