Abdullah bin 'Umar reported on the authority of his father (RA): We were along with Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) in the morning of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'l-Hijja). Some of us pronounced Takbir and some of us Tahlil (La ilaha ill-Allah). And to those of us who pronounced Takbir, I said: By Allah, how strange it is that you did not care to ask him: What did you see Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) doing (on this occasion)?
