‘Abd Allah bin ‘Umar said The apostle of Allaah ﷺ combined the sunset and the night prayers at Al Muzdalifah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ جَمِيعًا  

The aforesaid tradition has been transmitted by Al Zuhri through a different chain of narrators. This version adds “Each prayer with an iqamah”. Ahmad reported on the authority of Waki’ “he offered each prayer with a single iqamah.”  

وَكِيعٌ صَلَّى كُلَّ صَلاَةٍ بِإِقَامَةٍ  

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted to the same effect by by Al Zuhri with a different chain of narrators beginning with Ibn Hanbal on the authority of Hammad. This version adds “With an iqamah for every prayer, he did not call adhan for the first prayer and he did not offer supererogatory prayer after any of them. The narrator Makhlad said “He did not call adhan for any of them.”  

بِإِقَامَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ وَلَمْ يُنَادِ فِي الأُولَى وَلَمْ يُسَبِّحْ عَلَى أَثَرِ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا قَالَ مَخْلَدٌ لَمْ يُنَادِ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا  

I offered three rak'ahs of the sunset prayer and two rak'ahs of the night prayer along with Ibn Umar. Thereupon Malik ibn al-Harith said: What is this prayer? He said: I offered these prayers along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in this place with a single iqamah.  

صَلَّيْتُهُمَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ بِإِقَامَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ  

Sa’id bin Jubair and ‘Abd Allah bin Malik said “We offered the sunset and the night prayers at Al Muzdalifah along with ibn ‘Umar with one iqamah.” The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition as reported by Ibn Kathir.  

عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالاَ صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ بِإِقَامَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ كَثِيرٍ  

Sa’id bin Jubair said “We returned along with Ibn ‘Umar and when we reached Al Muzdalifah he led us in the sunset and night prayers with one iqamah and three rak’ahs of the sunset prayer and two rak’ahs of the night prayer. When he finished the prayer Ibn ‘Umar said to us The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer in this way at this place.”  

لَنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ هَكَذَا صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ  

Salamah bin Kuhail said “I saw Sa’id bin Jubair he called the iqamah at Al Muzdalifah and offered three ra’kahs of the sunset prayer and two ra’kahs of the night prayer. He then said “I attended Ibn ‘Umar.” He did like this in this place and he (Ibn ‘Umar) said “I attended the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ”. He did in a similar way in this place.  

وَقَالَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ  

Ash’ath bin Sulaim reported on the authority of his father “I proceeded along with Ibn ‘Umar from ‘Arafah towards Al Muzdalifah.” He was not tiring of uttering “Allaah is most great” and “There is no god but Allaah”, till we came to Al Muzdalifah. He uttered the adhan and the iqamah or ordered some person who called the adhan and the iqamah. He then led us the three rak’ahs of the sunset prayers and turned to us and said (Another) prayer. Thereafter he led us in the two rak’ahs of the night prayer. Then he called for his dinner. He (Ash’ath) said ‘Ilaj bin ‘Amr reported a tradition like that of my father on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar. Ibn ‘Umar was asked about it. He said “I prayed along with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ in a similar manner.”  

الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْعِشَاءَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِعَشَائِهِ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عِلاَجُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَكَذَا  

Ibn Mas’ud said “ I never saw the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ observe a prayer out of its proper time except(two prayers) at Al Muzdalifah. He combined the sunset and night prayers at Al Muzdalifah and he offered the dawn prayer that day before its proper time.  

مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى صَلاَةً إِلاَّ لِوَقْتِهَا إِلاَّ بِجَمْعٍ فَإِنَّهُ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِجَمْعٍ وَصَلَّى صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ مِنَ الْغَدِ قَبْلَ وَقْتِهَا  

When the morning came, the Prophet ﷺ stood at the mountain Quzah and said: This is Quzah, and this is a place of stationing, and the whole of al-Muzdalifah is a place of stationing. I sacrificed the animals here, and the whole of Mina is a place of sacrifice. So sacrifice in your dwellings.  

فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى قُزَحَ فَقَالَ هَذَا قُزَحُ وَهُوَ الْمَوْقِفُ وَجَمْعٌ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ وَنَحَرْتُ هَا هُنَا وَمِنًى كُلُّهَا مَنْحَرٌ فَانْحَرُوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ  

Jabir reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying “I halted here in ‘Arafah and the whole of ‘Arafah is a place of halting. I halted here in Al Muzdalifah and the whole of Al Muzdalifah is a place of halting. I sacrificed the animals here and the whole of Mina is a place of sacrifice. So sacrifice in your dwellings.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ وَقَفْتُ هَا هُنَا بِعَرَفَةَ وَعَرَفَةُ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ وَوَقَفْتُ هَا هُنَا بِجَمْعٍ وَجَمْعٌ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ وَنَحَرْتُ هَا هُنَا وَمِنًى كُلُّهَا مَنْحَرٌ فَانْحَرُوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ  

Jabir bin ‘Abdallah reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “The whole of ‘Arafah is a place of halting, the whole of Mina is a place of sacrifice, the whole of Al Muzdalifah is a place of halting and all the passes of Makkah are a thoroughfare and a place of sacrifice.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُّ عَرَفَةَ مَوْقِفٌ وَكُلُّ مِنًى مَنْحَرٌ وَكُلُّ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ مَوْقِفٌ وَكُلُّ فِجَاجِ مَكَّةَ طَرِيقٌ وَمَنْحَرٌ  

The Arabs in the pre-Islamic period did not return from al-Muzdalifah till they saw sunlight at the mountain Thabir. The Prophet ﷺ opposed them and returned before the sunrise.  

عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لاَ يُفِيضُونَ حَتَّى يَرَوُا الشَّمْسَ عَلَى ثَبِيرٍ فَخَالَفَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَدَفَعَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ
