Going out to Mina and Arafah

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) set out with Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) towards Mina. Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) offered the Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and Fajr prayers there. Then they set out from Mina towards Arafat, and there he offered the two prayers. Then they remained standing until, when the sun had set, he brought him to Muzdalifah. They halted there and spent the night there. Then he related that he prayed as quickly as any Muslim could possibly pray. Then they set out from there towards Mina. He performed the stoning, slaughtered (the animal) and had his head shaved. Then Allah Almighty revealed to Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "Follow the way of Ibrahim, who was upright (hanif), and he was not of the polytheists."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir through various chains, the narrators of some of which are the narrators of the Sahih. In some of its routes it is mentioned: A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "I am weak with regard to my mount and weak with regard to my family, so do you think I may leave early?" Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) arrived; he performed Tawaf of the House and performed the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, then he set out and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mina." After this, the narrator related a report similar to the previous one.

Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The whole of Arafat is a place of standing, but keep above the low ground of Uranah; and the whole of Muzdalifah is a place of standing, but keep above Muhassir. Every pathway of Mina is a place of sacrifice, and all the days of Tashriq are days of slaughter."
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it, except that he (al-Tabarani) recorded these words: "Every pathway of Makkah is a place of sacrifice." Its narrators have been declared trustworthy (muwaththaqun).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The whole of Arafah is a place of standing, and the whole of Mina is a place of sacrifice."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The whole of Muzdalifah is a Mash'ar, but keep above the low ground of Uranah; and the whole of Arafat is a place of standing, but keep above the valley of Muhassir."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Muhammad bin Jabir al-Ju'fi, who is da'if (weak), though he has also been declared trustworthy.

Mujahid reported this from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and to the best of my knowledge he narrated it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hajj is (standing at) Arafat."

Rabi'ah bin Abbad reported that his father said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) standing with the polytheists at Arafat. After he was sent (as a Prophet), I again saw him standing at that same place of standing, and from this I knew that Allah Almighty had granted him the guidance to do so.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Ata' bin al-Sa'ib, who is thiqah (trustworthy) but suffered from confusion (ikhtilat) in his memory.

Abd al-Aziz bin Qays al-Abdi states: I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: On the day of Arafah, a certain man was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on his mount. The young man began to glance at the women and look at them, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away several times with his blessed hand from behind him, but the young man kept looking at the women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O my nephew, this is a day on which whoever controls his hearing, his sight and his tongue will be forgiven."
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, where he said: "Sayyiduna al-Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." The narrators of Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty, on the evening of Arafah, boasts before the angels about the people of Arafah and says: 'Look at My servants; they have come to Me dishevelled and covered in dust.'"
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it. The narrators of Ahmad have been declared trustworthy (muwaththaqun).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty boasts before the angels about the people of Arafat, saying: 'Look at My servants; their hair is dishevelled and they are covered in dust.'"

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites these words one thousand times on the evening of Arafah, whatever he asks of Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty will grant it to him, except for something that involves severing ties of kinship or something sinful. (The words are:) 'Glory be to the One whose Throne is in the heaven; glory be to the One whose command prevails in the earth; glory be to the One whose path is in the sea; glory be to the One whose dominion is in the Fire; glory be to the One whose mercy is in Paradise; glory be to the One whose decree is carried out in the graves; glory be to the One whose spirit is in the air; glory be to the One who raised the heaven; glory be to the One who spread out the earth; glory be to the One from whom there is no refuge except in Him.'"
Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it; its chain contains Azrah bin Qays, whom Yahya bin Ma'in declared da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) states: Among the supplications that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made during the Farewell Hajj were these words: "O Allah, You hear my speech, You see my place, and You know what I conceal and what I reveal; nothing of my affair is hidden from You. I am the helpless, the needy, the one seeking help, the one seeking refuge, the fearful, the one who confesses and acknowledges his sins. I ask of You as a destitute person asks, I implore You as a humbled sinner implores, and I call upon You as one who is fearful and blind calls, one whose neck is bowed before You, whose eyes flow with tears for You, whose body is humbled, and whose nose is rubbed in the dust before You. O Allah, do not make me wretched in my supplication to You, and be Kind and Merciful to me, O Best of those who are asked, and O Best of those who give."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Saghir, and in it are the words: "the anxious, the fearful." Its chain contains Yahya bin Salih al-Ubulli, about whom al-Uqayli said: "Yahya bin Bukayr narrated munkar (denounced) reports from him." The rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) states: On the day of Arafah, the supplication the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited most often was: "There is no god but Allah Almighty alone; He has no partner. To Him alone belongs the dominion, to Him alone belongs all praise, and He has power over all things."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy (muwaththaqun).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the evening of Arafah, every person who has even a mustard seed's weight of faith in his heart is forgiven." The narrator says: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, is this specific to the people of Arafah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(No,) rather, it is general for the Muslims."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Abu Dawud al-A'ma (the blind), who is extremely da'if (weak).

Talib bin Salma bin Asim bin al-Hakam states: Someone from my family told me that he heard my grandfather say that on that day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Behold! Indeed, Allah Almighty looked at this gathering, accepted the good of the righteous among them, accepted the intercession of the righteous among them for the wrongdoers among them, and then pardoned them all."
Abu Ya'la recorded it; its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No days are more excellent in the sight of Allah Almighty than the days of the first ten of Dhu al-Hijjah." The narrator says: A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, are these (days) more excellent, or is jihad in the path of Allah for the same number of days more excellent?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These days are more excellent than jihad in the path of Allah for the same number of days, except for the one whose face becomes covered in dust in the earth (that is, the one who is martyred). And no day is more excellent in the sight of Allah Almighty than the day of Arafah. Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heaven and boasts before the inhabitants of the heaven about the inhabitants of the earth, and says: 'Look at My servants, dishevelled and covered in dust, reciting the Talbiyah aloud; they have come from every distant region, though they have not seen My mercy and they have not seen My punishment.' (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says:) I have not seen any day on which more people are freed from Hell than the day of Arafah."
