Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Indeed, Allah expresses pride before the inhabitants of the heavens, that is, the angels, regarding the people of Arafat and says: Look at My servants! They have come to Me, that is, to My court, disheveled and dust-covered."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There are no days more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah." The narrator says: A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Are these days more virtuous or spending the same number of days in jihad in the way of Allah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "These days are more virtuous than spending the same number of days in jihad in the way of Allah, and there is no day more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the Day of Arafah. On this day, Allah descends to the nearest heaven and boasts to the inhabitants of the heavens about the people of the earth and says: 'Look at My servants, they have come with disheveled hair and covered in dust, they have come from distant places, hoping for My mercy. They have not seen My punishment.' (The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:) There is no day in which more people are freed from Hell than on the Day of Arafah." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, said:) This narrator named Hisham is Hisham bin Abu Abdullah Dastawai. Dastawa is a town in Ahwaz. He was called Dastawai because he used to bring and sell clothes from Dastawa, so he was attributed to that city.

Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“All of ‘Arafat is a place for standing (Wuquf), so keep yourselves above (away from) ‘Urnah. And all of Muzdalifah is a place for standing, so keep yourselves above (away from) Muhassir. Every path of Mina is a place for sacrifice, and sacrifice can be done on all the days of Tashreeq.”

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates regarding Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): He was riding behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the mount. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to recite «لا الہ الا اللہ» during the halt. He continued to mention the greatness of Allah Almighty and supplicated to Him. When he set out, the people had already departed, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them in a loud voice to proceed calmly. When he reached the valley, he poured water and performed ablution, then mounted again. When he arrived at Muzdalifah, he performed the Maghrib and Isha prayers together. When he had performed the Fajr prayer, he remained there. When he set out, the people also set out. When the people set out, he said: Proceed calmly. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was also pulling the reins of his mount, until when he entered the lower part of Mina, he said: It is obligatory upon you to pick such pebbles as can be held between the fingers; they will be thrown at the Jamrah. And at that place, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to recite the Talbiyah until he had performed the Rami of the Jamrah.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Quraysh were the custodians of the House of Allah; they used to depart from Mina, while other people would depart from Arafat. So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "You should also return from where the people return."

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed from Arafat, and when he reached the valley, he dismounted from his ride. He urinated, then performed ablution, but did not perform ablution excessively. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Will you pray? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The prayer will be ahead. Then he mounted (his ride) until he reached Muzdalifah. Then he dismounted, performed ablution with thoroughness, then the prayer was established. He offered the Maghrib prayer, then everyone made their camel sit at their place of residence. Then the Iqamah was called for the Isha prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered both these prayers, and he did not offer any (other voluntary prayer) between them.

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, he performed the Maghrib and Isha prayers together in Muzdalifah, following the lead of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Saeed bin Jubair narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) led us in three rak'ahs of Maghrib prayer at Muzdalifah. When he finished with salam, he then stood up again and led two rak'ahs of Isha prayer. He stated this: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had led the people in prayer at this place in the same manner.

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the days of ignorance, people would not set out until they saw the sun on (the mountain called) Thubayr. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did contrary to them and set out before the sun had risen.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Lady Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) sought permission from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to depart from Muzdalifah before others, because she was a heavyset woman. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) granted her permission. (Lady Aisha [may Allah be pleased with her] narrates) I wished that I had also sought permission from him.
