The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in ʿArafah and said: ʿThis is the place of standing and all of ʿArafah is a place of standing.ʿ He moved on when the sun set, then he put Usamah behind him (on his mount) and moved on at a measured pace on his camel, and the people started rushing right and left. He turned to them and said: ʿCalmly, O people.” Then he came to Jamʿ and led them in praying two prayers, Maghrib and ʿIshaʿ. Then he stayed all night until morning came, then he came to Quzah and stood at Quzah, and said: ʿThis is the place of standing and all of Jamʿ is a place of standing.” Then he moved on until he came to Muhassir, where he stood, then he struck his she-camel and she trotted until he crossed the valley, then he reined her in. Then he put al-Fadl behind him (on his mount) and carried on until he came to the Jamrah. He stoned it, then he came to the place of sacrifice and said: ʿThis is the place of sacrifice and all of Mina is a place of sacrifice.ʿ He [the narrator] said: A young woman of Khath’am asked him: My father is an old man and has become senile; he has lived until Allah made Hajj obligatory, Will it be acceptable if I perform Hajj on his behalf? He said: ʿYes; perform Hajj on behalf of your father.ʿ And he twisted al Fadlʿs neck (to turn his face away). Al-ʿAbbas said to him: O Messenger of Allah, why did you twist the neck of your cousin? He said: ʿI saw a young man and a young woman and I was not certain that they would be safe from the Shaitan.ʿ Then a man came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, I shaved my head before offering a sacrifice. He said: “Offer your sacrifice, there is no problem.” Then another man came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, I did tawafal-ifadah before shaving my head. He said: “Shave your head or cut your hair, there is no problem.ʿ Then he came to the Kaʿbah and circumambulated it, then he came to Zamzam and said: ʿO Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib, it is your right to draw water for pilgrims. Were it not that the people would overwhelm you, I would have drawn water myself.ʿ
