Among the philosophies of staying in Mash'ar is preparing to enter the [[Haram (Mecca)|Haram]] (Sacred Precinct), offering the sacrificial animal, and visiting the [[Ka'ba]]. Furthermore, in traditions, this place is described as the threshold of the second gate to the Haram, where the [[pilgrim]] is granted permission to enter through weeping and supplication. Mash'ar is a place for the descent of mercy, the forgiveness of sins, and the answering of prayers, and [[Wuquf]] (staying) there increases hope for divine forgiveness. Verse 198 of Surah Al-Baqara identifies [[Mash'ar al-Haram]] as a place for the remembrance of God, and according to some exegetes, the secret of staying there is to awaken the heart to piety and the fear of God.

Regarding the etiquette of the stay, there are recommendations to practice patience and avoid haste or causing annoyance to others, as rushing was a custom of the [[Jahiliyyah|pre-Islamic era]]. [[Imam Sadiq (a)]] considered the abandonment of arrogance a condition for attracting God's mercy, defining pride as "offending people and rejecting the truth." Reciting the supplication "Fakka raqabati min al-nar" (Free my neck from the Fire) and ~~requesting~~ forgiveness, ~~offering apologies,~~ and maintaining [[piety]] in Mash'ar are highly recommended. It is said that these supplications indicate that Mash'ar is a place for [[seeking forgiveness]], the preservation and soundness of one's faith, the acceptance of rituals, and the blessing of deeds.
