Taking sacrificial camels to Arafah

It is narrated from Ata that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the sacrificial camels he had brought as an offering (hady) to Arafah.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: There is no hady (sacrificial animal) except that which has been garlanded, marked (ish'ar), and stood with at Arafah.

Abd al-Rahman bin al-Aswad said: I performed Hajj with al-Aswad, and he had many sacrificial animals with him. Then he went in to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked her (about them). I saw that he left the sacrificial animals behind at Mina and did not bring them to Arafah.

Aflah said: I saw al-Qasim driving his sacrificial animal towards Arafah.

Al-Aswad said: A message was sent to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asking her: Should the sacrificial camel be taken to Arafah? The narrator said: She said: "Yes." Then he asked: Should it be marked (ish'ar)? She said: "If you wish, you may do it; it is marked only so that it is known to be a sacrificial camel."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Whoever wishes may take it to Arafah, and whoever wishes need not take it; people used to take the sacrificial animals to Arafah only out of fear that they would be stolen.

Al-Hasan said, regarding a man who leaves his sacrificial camel at Mina and does not take it to Arafah: It suffices him; but he liked that it be taken to Arafah.

Alqamah said: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent his sacrificial animal with me and said: "If you reach (it) on the evening of Arafah, take it to Arafah."

Al-Dahhak said: Whoever sends a sacrificial animal and it is with him should take it to Arafah.
