When Touching the Black Stone

Duas are answered at the multazam, which is between the door of the ka’bah and the Black Stone. One of the da’awat is:

اَلّلُهمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً يُوَافِي نِعَمَكَ, وَيُكَافِئُ مَزِيدَكَ, أحْمَدُكَ بِجَمِيعِ مَحَامِدِكَ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَمْ أعْلَمْ, عَلَى جَمِيعِ نِعَمِكَ ما عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا لَمْ أعْلَمْ, وَعَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ, اَلّلهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ, اَللّهُمَّ أعِذْنِيِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الَّرجِيمِ, وَأعِذْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ سَوءٍ, وَقَنِّعْنِي بِماَ رَزَقْتَنِي, وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ, اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أكْرَمِ وَفْدِكَ عَلَيْكَ, وَأَلْزِمْنِي سَبِيلَ الْإِسْتِقَامَةِ حَتَّى أَلْقَاكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Allahumma laka-l-hamdu-hamdan yuwafi ni’amak, wa yukafi mazidak. Ahmaduka bi-jami’i mahamidaka ma’alimtu minha wa malam a’lam, ’ala jami’i ni’amika ma’alimtu minha wa malam a’lam, wa ala kulli hal. Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin, Allahumma a’idhni mina-sh-Shaytan-r-rajim, waa’idhni min kulli saw’in, wa qanni’ni bi-ma razaqtani wa barik li fih. Allahumma-j’alni min akrami wafdika’alayk, wa alzimni sabila-l-istiqamati hatta alqaka ya Rabba-l-alamin.

O Allah, to You belongs all praise, praise that is commensurate with Your bounties and equal to Your abundance. I praise You with all Your praises – those which I know and which I do not know – for all of Your favours – those which I know and those which I do not know – and under all conditions. O Allah, convey blessings and salutations to Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad. O Allah, protect me from Shaytan the rejected, and protect me from all evil. Make me content with what you have given me as sustenance, and bless me in it.  O Allah, make me one of the most noble delegation to You. Make me adhere to the path of steadfastness until I meet You, Lord of the Universe.

Then the pilgrim should make dua for whatever he likes.
