Saeed bin Jubair says: I was present with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) at Arafah; he was eating pomegranate. He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fast at Arafah. Sayyidah Umm Fadl (may Allah be pleased with her) had sent milk to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which he drank. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah curse such-and-such a man; he intended the greatest day among the days of Hajj and erased its adornment. The adornment of Hajj is the Talbiyah.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is possible that this accursed one was an Arab polytheist. By "the days of Hajj" are meant those days in which the talbiyah is recited; their explanation will be given in the next chapter. There can be two ways in which the adornment (zeenat) could be erased: (1) The words of the talbiyah were completely abandoned, (2) Polytheistic (shirk) words were inserted into the talbiyah. According to the narration of Sahih Muslim, they used to recite the talbiyah as follows: "Labbayk, la sharika laka illa sharikan tamlikuhu wama malak."
