Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 15869 — The time of departure from Arafah

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Qays bin Makhramah bin al-Muttalib that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon at Arafat and said: "Amma ba'd (to proceed): Today is the day of the greater Hajj. The people of Jahiliyyah and the idol-worshippers used to depart on this day before sunset, at the time when the sunlight lay on the mountains as though it were men's turbans upon their faces. We will depart after the sun has set, so let no one hurry; our way is contrary to that of the polytheists and the idol-worshippers."
