It is narrated from Hazrat Salim bin Abdullah that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to Hajjaj bin Yusuf after the sun had declined on the day of Arafat; I was also with him. He said, "If you want to act upon the Sunnah of the Prophet, then come (and deliver the sermon)." He (Hajjaj) asked, "Should I come now?" He replied, "Yes, come now." Hazrat Salim narrates that I said to Hajjaj, "If today you want to act upon the Sunnah of the Prophet, then deliver a brief sermon and lead the prayer quickly." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "Salim has spoken the truth."
