Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported: I was sitting behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the riding animal from 'Arafat. As Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) reached the left side of the mountain which was situated near Muzdalifa, he made the camel kneel down and made water and then came back. I poured water and he performed light ablution. I then said: Messenger of Allah, it is time for prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The prayer awaits you (at the next station, Muzdalifa). Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and observed prayer. Then al-Fadl (RA) sat behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and reached (Muzdalifa) in the morning. Kuraib said: 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) narrated from al-Fadl (RA) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) continued pronouncing Talbiya until he reached al-Jamara (al-'Aqabahh).

Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas (RA) , narrated from Usama bin Zaid (RA) that he had heard him saying: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) proceeded from 'Arafa, and as he approached the creek of a hill, he got down (from his camel) and urinated, and then performed a light ablution. I said to him: Prayer, whereupon he said: The prayer awaits you (at Muzdalifa). So he rode again, and as he came to Muzdalifa, he got down and performed ablution well. Then Iqama was pronounced for prayer, and he observed the sunset prayer. Then every person made his camel kneel down there, and then Iqama was pronounced for 'Isha' prayer and he observed it, and he (the Holy Prophet) did not observe any prayer (either Sunan or Nawafil) in between them (He observed the Fard of sunset and 'Isha' prayers successively.)

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on his way back from 'Arafat got down in one of these creeks (to answer the call of nature), and after he had done that I poured water (over his hands) and said: Are you going to pray? Thereupon he said: The place of prayer is ahead of you.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) narrated: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was on his way back from 'Arafat and as he reached the creek (of a hillock) he got down and urinated (Usama did not say that he poured water), but said: He (the Holy Prophet) called for water and performed ablution, but it was not a thorough one. I said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer! Thereupon he said: Prayer awaits you ahead (at Muzdalifa). He then proceeded, until he reached Muzdalifa and observed sunset and 'Isha' prayers (together) there.

Kuraib reported that he asked Usama bin Zaid (RA) What did you do in the evening of 'Arafa as you rode behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ? He said: We came to a valley where people generally halted their (camels) for the sunset prayer. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) halted his camel and urinated (and he did not say that he had poured water). He then called for water and performed light ablution. I said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer! Thereupon he said: Prayer awaits you (at Muzdalifa), and he rode on until we came to Muzdalifa. Then he offered the sunset prayer and the people halted their camels at their places, and did not untie them until Iqama was pronounced for the 'Isha' prayer and he observed the prayer, and then they untied (their camels). I said: What did you do in the morning? He said: Al-Fadl bin Abbas (RA) sat behind him (the Holy Prophet) in the morning, whereas I proceeded on foot with the Quraish who had gone ahead.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to the valley where the rich (people of Makkah) used to get down, he got down and urinated (and he did not mention about pouring water); he then called for water and performed a light ablution. I said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer. Thereupon he said: Prayer awaits you ahead.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported that he sat behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on his ride as he came back from 'Arafa. And as he came to the valley, he halted his camel, and then went to the wilderness (to urinate). And when he came back, I poured water on him from the jug and he performed ablution, and then rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and there he combined the sunset and 'Isha' prayers.
