It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he used to say: It used to be said: Keep away from Batn Muhassir, and keep away from Uranat as well. What is meant by Uranat is that during the standing (wuquf) at Arafah one should not stay in the valley of Uranah; and what is meant by Muhassir is that during the stay at Muzdalifah one should not stay in the valley of Muhassir.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Yazid bin Shayban (may Allah have mercy on him) that: We were standing behind the place of standing (mawqif), when Ibn Mirba' al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us and said: I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) says: "Remain at these places of worship of yours (the stations of Hajj), for you are upon the inheritance (the way of Hajj) of your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Mudarris (may Allah be pleased with him) that: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at Muzdalifah and said: Has my Hajj been accomplished? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays this (Fajr) prayer with us at this place, then stays here with us until the imam departs, having come to Arafat before that by night or by day, his Hajj is complete and he has fulfilled his rites."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Mudarris al-Ta'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was standing at Muzdalifah, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have come from the two mountains of Tayyi'. I have exhausted my mount and put myself to hardship. By Allah, there was no hillock I passed by without standing upon it. So has my Hajj been accomplished? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever catches this prayer with us, having reached Arafat before that by night or by day, has fulfilled his rites and his Hajj is complete." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of all the imams of hadith, and it is one of the important principles of Islam. Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on them both) refrained from recording it on the basis of their principle that no one narrated from Urwah bin Mudarris except Amir al-Sha'bi, whereas we have found a narration of Urwah bin al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam, who narrated hadith from him:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Mudarris al-Ta'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the place of standing (Muzdalifah) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have come from the two mountains of Tayyi'. I have wearied my mount and wearied myself. By Allah, there is not one of these hill paths left on which I have not stood. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever catches this prayer with us, meaning the morning prayer, having reached Arafah before that by night or by day, his Hajj is complete and he has fulfilled his rites." In narrating this Sunnah, Abd al-Rahman bin Ya'mar al-Du'ali, from among the Companions, has also corroborated Urwah bin Mudarris.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Ya'mar (may Allah be pleased with him) that: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Arafah. Some people from Najd also came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a caller, who announced: "Hajj is (the standing at) Arafah; Hajj is Arafah itself. Whoever arrives on the night of Muzdalifah before the break of dawn has caught the Hajj. The days of Mina are three: 'Then whoever hastens (to leave) in two days, there is no sin upon him, and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him either' [Al-Baqarah: 203] ." He (peace and blessings be upon him) had a man ride behind him on his mount, who made this same call.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) that Quraysh (in the Days of Ignorance) used to depart only from Muzdalifah, saying: We are the "Hums" (the special people of the Sanctuary), so we will not go outside the Sanctuary. And they used to abandon the standing at Arafah. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Days of Ignorance standing with the people at Arafah on a camel of his; then he would spend the morning with his people at Muzdalifah, and when they departed, he too would depart with them. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no day on which Allah Almighty frees servants from the Fire in such great numbers as the day of Arafah. He draws near (in a manner befitting His majesty), then boasts before the angels, saying: What do these people want?" The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) that: We were with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) at Arafah, and he asked me: O Sa'id, why is it that I do not hear the people reciting the talbiyah? I said: They are afraid of Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). So Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) came out of his tent and called aloud: 'Labbayka Allahumma labbayk' (Here I am, O Allah, here I am). Then he said: These people have abandoned the Sunnah out of hatred for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at Arafat, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said 'Labbayka Allahumma labbayk' (Here I am, O Allah, here I am), he also said: "Indeed, the true good is only the good of the Hereafter." Imam Bukhari used Ikrimah as evidence and Imam Muslim used Dawud as evidence, and this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
