Hazrat Yazid bin Shaiban narrates that Sayyiduna Ibn Murabba’ Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us while we were staying behind the place of standing in the valley of Arafat. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) considered this place to be far from the Imam’s place of standing. So he (Ibn Murabba’) said: I am a messenger to you from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
