Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed at Muzdalifah until it became quite bright, then he left Muzdalifah before the sun had risen.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jubair bin Huwairith that I heard Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq standing on Qazah saying: O people! Set out in the morning, O people! Set out in the morning, then depart from here. It is as if I am looking at his thigh, which was exposed due to moving and urging the camel with a stick.

Hazrat Abu Sha’sa’ says that the time to leave Muzdalifah is like the time of a people’s morning prayer, until the hidden parts of a camel become visible to him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Tawus that the people of ignorance used to leave Arafat before sunset and leave Muzdalifah after sunrise. Allah Almighty postponed this (Arafat) and advanced that (Muzdalifah); He postponed Arafat until sunset and made leaving Muzdalifah until sunrise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi' that Hazrat Ibn Zubair stayed at Muzdalifah, then he set out. Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Are you waiting for the sun to rise? Or do you want to do the act of ignorance? Then Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) departed, so the people left after he had gone.

Hazrat Abdullah departed from Muzdalifah at the time when travelers perform the Fajr (morning) prayer.

Hazrat Ibn Zubair says that it is from the Sunnah of Hajj that one should perform the prayer, then after the Fajr prayer, stay in Muzdalifah until the day becomes bright, and when there is full light, then depart.

Hazrat Jabir states that one should leave Muzdalifah before sunrise.

The same is also narrated from Ibn Zubair.

The same is narrated from Hazrat Tawus.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that he set out at the time it takes to perform the morning prayer, neither too early nor too late.
