It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) reports from him that he saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah going towards Mina. On one side of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), in his hand was a stick on which there was a cloth, and he was shading the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with it.
