لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ والنِّعْمَةَ، لَكَ والْمُلْكُ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ
Labbayk Allaahumma labbayk, labbayk laa shareeka laka labbayk, 'innal-hamda, wanni'mata, laka walmulk, laa shareeka laka.
I am here at Your service, O Allah, I am here at Your service. I am here at Your service, You have no partner, I am here at Your service. Surely the praise, and blessings are Yours, and the dominion. You have no partner.

116. The Takbeer Passing The Black Stone
طَافَ النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْبَيْتِ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ كُلَّمَا أَتَى الرُّكْنَ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ وَكَبَّرَ - اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
Tafa al-nabiyyu salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam bil-bayti ala ba'irin kullama ata al-rukna ashara ilayhi bi shay'in indahu wa kabbara - Allahu Akbar.
The Prophet (SAW) performed Tawaf riding a camel. Every time he passed the corner (containing the Black Stone), he would point to it with something that he was holding and say: Allaahu 'Akbar. (Allah is the Most Great)(The 'something' that was referred to in this Hadith was a cane)
Reference: Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 3/476. See also 472.
117. Between The Yemeni Corner & The Black Stone
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الْدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الَأخِرَةِ حَسَنةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Rabbanaa 'aatinaa fid-dunyaa hasanatan wa fil-'aakhirati hasanatan wa qinaa 'athaaban-naar.
Our Lord, grant us the good things in this world and the good things in the next life and save us from the punishment of the Fire.
Reference: Abu Dawud 2/179, Ahmad 3/411, Al-Baghawi Surah Al-Baqarah:201.
118. When At Mount Safa & Mount Marwah
(1)إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ. أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ(2) اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ(3) لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ
'Innas-Safaa wal-Marwata min sha'aa'irillaah. 'Abda'u bimaa bada'allaahu bihi.(1)Allaahu 'Akbar.(2)Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer, laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu ilahaahu, 'anjaza wa'dahu, wa nasara 'abdahu, wa hazamal 'ahzaaba wahdahu.(3)
Whenever the Prophet (SAW) approached Mount Safa, he would recite: "Surely Safa and Marwah are among the signs of Allah. I begin by that which Allah began".(1) Then he began (his Sa'y) at Mount Safa climbing it until he could see the House (Kaaba). He then faced the Qiblah repeating the words: "Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great".(2) Then he said: "None has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone, Who has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. None has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone, He fulfilled His Promise, He aided His slave, and He alone defeated Confederates".(3) Then he would ask Allah for what he liked, repeating the same thing like this Three times. He did at Mount Marwah as he did at Mount Safa.
Reference: Muslim 2/888.
119. The Day Of 'Arafah
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer.
The best invocation is that of the Day of Arafat, and the best that anyone can say is what I and the Prophets before me have said: "None has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things".
Reference: At-Tirmidhi. Al-Albani graded it good in Sahih At-Tirmidhi 3/184, and also Silsilatul-'Ahadith As-Sahihah 4/6.
120. Remembrance At Muzdalifa
رَكِبَ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْقَصْوَاءَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ (فَدَعَاهُ، وَكَبَّرَهُ، وَهَللَّهُ، وَوَحَّدَهُ) فَلَمْ يَزَلْ وَاقِفاً حَتَّى أَسْفَرَ جِدَّاً فَدَفَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمسُ. - (1)اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ(2)لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ(3)اللَّهُ اَحَدٌ
Rakiba Rasulullahi (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) al-Qaswa hatta ata al-Mash'ar al-Haram, fa istaqbala al-Qiblah (fad'ahu wa kabbarahu wa hallalah wa wahdahu) falam yazal waqifan hatta asfar jiddan, fada'a qabla an tatlua al-shamsu. - Allaahu 'Akbar.(1)Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaah.(2)Allaahu 'Ahad.(3)
The Prophet (SAW) rode his camel, Al-Qaswa' (from Arafah), until he reached the sacred area (Al-Mash'aril-Haraam). Then he faced the Qiblah and invoked Allah, and repeatedly said:"Allah is the Most Great",(1)"There is none worthy of worship but Allah"(2) and"Allah is One".(3)He remained stationary until the sky became yellow with the dawn, and then pressed on before sunrise.

121. Takbir When Throwing Each Pebble At The Jamarat
يُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا رَمَى بِحَصَاةٍ عِنْدَ الْجِمَارِ الثَّلاَثِ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ، ويَقِفُ يَدْعُو مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبلَةِ، رَافِعاً يَدَيْهِ بَعْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الْأُولَى وَالثَّانِيَةِ. أَمَّا جَمْرَةُ الْعَقَبَةِ فَيَرْمِيهَا وَيُكَبِّرُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ وَيَنْصَرِفُ وَلاَ يَقِفُ عِنْدَهَا - اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
Yukabbiru kullama rama bihasaatin 'inda al-jimaar al-thalaath, thumma yataqaddamu wa yaqifu yad'u mustaqbila al-qiblah, raafi'an yadayhi ba'da al-jamrat al-oola wa al-thaaniyah. Amma jamrat al-'Aqabah fayarmiiha wa yukabbiru 'inda kulli hasaatin wa yansarifu wa la yaqifu 'indaha. - Allaahu 'Akbar.
The Prophet (SAW) said Allaahu 'Akbar (Allah is the Most Great) with each pebble he threw at the Three pillars. Then he went forward, stood facing the Qiblah and raised his hands and called upon Allah. That was after (stoning) the first and second pillar. As for the third, he stoned it and called out Allaahu 'Akbar with every pebble he threw, but when he was finished he left without standing at it (for supplications).

127. When Slaughtering Or Offering A Sacrifice
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ ولَكَ اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي
Bismillaahi wallaahu 'Akbar [Allaahumma minka wa laka] Allaahumma taqabbal minnee.
With the Name of Allah, Allah is the Most Great! (O Allah, from You and to You.) O Allah, accept it from me.
