Narrated Salim:
‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to send the weak among his family early to Mina. So they used to depart
from Al-Mash’ar Al-Haram (that is Al-Muzdalifa) at night (when the moon had set) and invoke Al –
lah as much as they could, and then they would return (to Mina) before the Imam had started from
Al-Muzdalifa to Mina. So some of them would reach Mina at the time of the Fajr prayer and some of

them would come later. When they reached Mina they would throw pebbles on the Jamra (Jamrat-
al-Aqaba) Ibn ‘Umar used to say, “Allah’s Apostle gave the permission to them (weak people) to do
so.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 722:
Narrated Salim:
‘Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should not differ from Ibn ‘Umar during Hajj. On the Day
of ‘Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn ‘Umar came along with me and shouted near Al-
Hajjaj’s cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came Out, wrapping himself with a waist-sheet dyed with saf –
flower, and said, “O Abu Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter?” He said, If you want to follow the
Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to ‘Arafat).” Al-Hajjaj asked, “At this very
hour?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “Yes.” He replied, “Please wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e.
take a bath) and come out.” Then Ibn ‘Umar dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out. So, he
(Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn ‘Umar). I said to him, “If you want to follow the
Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for the stay at ‘Arafat.” He started looking at ‘Abdul –
lah (Ibn ‘Umar) (inquiringly), and when ‘Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the truth.
Volume 2, Book 20, Number 202:
Narrated ‘Amir bin Rabi’a,
I saw the Prophet on his Mount praying Nawafil by nodding his head, whatever direction he
faced, but Allah’s Apostle never did the same in offering the compulsory prayers. Narrated Salim: At
night’Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to offer the prayer on the back of his animal during the journey and
never cared about the direction he faced. Ibn ‘Umar said, “Allah’s Apostle used to offer the optional
prayer on the back of his Mount facing any direction and also used to pray the Witr on it but never
offered the compulsory prayer on it.”

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 622:
Narrated Salim:
I heard Um Ad-Darda’ saying, “Abu Ad-Darda’ entered the house in an angry mood. I said to him.
‘What makes you angry?’ He replied, ‘By Allah! I do not find the followers of Muhammad doing those
good things (which they used to do before) except the offering of congregational prayer.” (This
happened in the last days of Abu Ad-Darda’ during the rule of ‘Uthman) .
