English

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 45:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Quraish people and those who embraced their religion, used to stay at Muzdalifa and used to
call themselves Al-Hums, while the rest of the Arabs used to stay at 'Arafat. When Islam came, Allah
ordered His Prophet to go to 'Arafat and stay at it, and then pass on from there, and that is what is
meant by the Statement of Allah:–"Then depart from the place whence all the people depart……"
