(offering) the prayer and offered the prayer for some time and then asked, “O my son! Has the moon
set?” I replied in the negative and she again prayed for another period and then asked, “Has the moon
set?” I replied, “Yes.” So she said that we should set out (for Mina), and we departed and went on till
she threw pebbles at the Jamra (Jamrat-al-Aqaba) and then she returned to her dwelling place and
offered the morning prayer. I asked her, “O you! I think we have come (to Mina) early in the night.”

viated or has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn ‘Umar came and he shouted near the
cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjaj, “Where is he?” Al-Hajjaj came out. Ibn ‘Umar said, “Let us proceed (to
‘Arafat).” Al-Hajjaj asked, “Just now?” Ibn ‘Umar replied, “Yes.” Al-Hajjaj said, “Wait for me till I pour
water on me (i.e. take a bath).” So, Ibn ‘Umar dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjaj came out. He was
walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjaj, “If you want to follow the Sunna today,
then you should shorten the sermon and then hurry up for the stay (at ‘Arafat).” Ibn ‘Umar said, “He
(Salim) has spoken the truth.”

clothes to the women who would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums did
not give clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka’ba naked. Most of the people used to go away
(disperse) directly from ‘Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at Al-Muzdalifa. ‘Urwa

Then depart from the place whence all the people depart–(2.199) ‘Urwa added, “They (the Hums)
