Ibn ‘Abbas said that he returned with the Prophet on the day of ‘Arafa, and when the Prophet heard the people behind him shouting loudly at their camels and beating them, he pointed his whip at them and said,“You people must preserve a quiet demeanour, for piety does not consist in going quickly.”Bukhari transmitted it.

Usama b. Zaid rode behind the Prophet on his camel from ‘Arafa to al-Muzdalifa, then he took al-Fadl up behind him from al-Muzdalifa to Mina, and both of them said that the Prophet kept raising his voice in the talbiya till he threw pebbles at the jamra of the ‘Aqaba. Bukhari and Muslim.

Ibn ‘Umar said that the Prophet combined the sunset and the evening prayer, each with an iqama, but did not say ‘Glory be to God’ between them, or at the end of each one of them. Bukhari transmitted it.

‘Abdallah b. Mas'ud said he never saw God’s messenger observe a prayer out of its proper time with the exception of two, the sunset and the evening prayer, which he combined, and the dawn prayer which he observed that day(i.e. al-Muzdalifa) before its proper time. Bukhari and Muslim.

Ibn ‘Abbas said,“I was among the weak members of his family (i.e. the women and children) whom the Prophet sent ahead on the night of al-Muzdalifa. Bukhari and Muslim.

Al-Fadl b. ‘Abbas who rode behind God’s messenger told that on the evening of ‘Arafa and the morning of Jam' (Here the name is clearly used for al-Muzdalifa) when the people returned, he said to them,“Preserve a quiet demeanour.”He held back his shecamel till he entered Muhassir which is a part of Mina, and said,“Get small pebbles for the lapidation of the jamra”He said that God’s messenger kept on raising his voice in the talbiya till he threw pebbles at the jamra. Muslim transmitted it.

Jabir said that the Prophet hastened from Jam' with a quiet demeanour and ordered the people to preserve a similar demeanour. He hastened in the wadi of Muhassir and ordered them to throw small pebbles, and he said,“Perhaps I shall not see you after this year.”I did not find this tradition in the two Sahihs, but in Tirmidhi's Jami’, with some transposition.

Muhammad b. Qais b. Makhrama said that God’s messenger addressed the people as follows,“The people of pre-Islamic times used to return from 'Arafa when the sun before setting was shining in their faces like men’s turbans, and from al-Muzdalifa after the sun rose when it was shining in their faces like men’s turbans; (When the sun is low it shines only on men’s foreheads, and this is here likened to a turban) but we do not return from ‘Arafa till the sun sets, and we return from al-Muzdalifa before the sun rises. Our guidance differs from that of the worshippers of idols and those who attribute partners to God.”Baihaqi transmitted it in Shu'ab al-iman, saying“He addressed us . . .”and then going on, with the tradition to similar effect.

Ibn ‘ Abbas said:God’s messenger sent us small boys of the B. ‘Abd al-Muttalib ahead on asses on the night of al-Muzdalifa, and he began to pat our thighs and say,“My little children, do not throw pebbles at the jamra till the sun rises.”Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

‘A’isha said:God's messenger sent Umm Salama on the night before the day of sacrifice and she threw pebbles at the jamra before dawn. She then hastened [to Mecca) and performed the circuit. That day was the one God’s messenger spent with her. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
