But the wording of this hadith is also general like the wording of the previous hadith, and its intended meaning is specific.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the return from Arafat, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made us ride behind him on his she-camel. He proceeded with great calm and tranquility and said: "O people, proceed with calmness; surely, hastening the horses and camels is not righteousness." Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) says that then I did not see his she-camel take a hurried step until he reached Muzdalifah. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) behind him and instructed the people to proceed with calm and tranquility. Then he himself also proceeded calmly. He said: "Hastening the horses and camels is not righteousness." Then I did not see his she-camel take a hurried step until he reached Mina.

And the clarification is that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would only proceed at the pace of tranquility during the time when he did not find an opening, as he explicitly stated regarding the presence of an opening in the movement at the time of departure from Arafah. And in this report, it is clear that Usama ibn Zayd meant by his statement: "I did not see his she-camel raising its hand until we reached Jam‘,"—that is, in the crowd, not during the time when he found an opening—for Usama is the one who reported that he explicitly stated so when he found the opening.

Hisham bin Urwah narrates that I heard from my esteemed father, he says that I heard Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was sitting with me. And Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the return from Arafat. Hazrat Urwah asked, "How did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ride on the return from Arafat?" Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "He rode at a moderate pace, but when he found an open space, he would make the she-camel go faster." Imam Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that "nas‘ al-‘unuq" refers to running faster. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in his narration, the words are mentioned that "nas‘ al-‘unuq" refers to a pace faster than walking. And in the narration of Waki‘, it is mentioned that he would ride at a pace faster than "‘unuq."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that during the journey of Hajj or Umrah, when the camel of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would straighten up with him near the mosque of Dhul-Hulaifah, he would begin reciting the Talbiyah. Then the rest of the hadith is narrated. And he said that the Prophet remained in the plain of Arafat until when the sun had set, he began to remember Allah. He continued to declare the greatness of Allah, His divinity «‏‏‏‏لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ» ‏‏‏‏ and to proclaim His greatness and majesty until he reached Muzdalifah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from Arafat, he seated him behind himself on his mount that evening. Then, when they came near the valley, the Prophet dismounted and urinated, and he did not say that he poured water (rather, he used explicit words that he urinated). Then I poured water for him from a vessel, and he performed a light ablution. We said, "Do you wish to pray?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "We will pray ahead (in Muzdalifah)." Then, when we reached Muzdalifah, the Prophet performed the Maghrib prayer, then the noble Companions unloaded the saddles from their mounts and untied the animals, and I helped the Prophet in untying his mount and removing its saddle. Then the Prophet performed the Isha prayer. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that, to my knowledge, only Ibn ‘Uyaynah has mentioned Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) between Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) and Kuraib in this chain. Yahya bin Sa‘id al-Ansari has not mentioned Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) in his chain. I have mentioned all the routes of this hadith in Kitab al-Kabir.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) combined and performed the Maghrib and Isha prayers at Muzdalifah.

And the statement that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed the traveler’s prayer at Muzdalifah, not the resident’s prayer.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) combined and performed the Maghrib and Isha prayers at Muzdalifah, and did not perform any prayer between them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) performed three rak'ahs for Maghrib and two rak'ahs for Isha. And Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) continued to perform the prayer in this manner (shortened and combined) at Muzdalifah throughout his life.

Contrary to the statement of the person who says that when two prayers are combined in the time of the second prayer, only the iqamah will be said for both and the adhan will not be given.
