ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar 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 Allah 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- ʿAqaba) Ibn ʿUmar used to say, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the permission to them (weak people) to do so."  

وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ يُقَدِّمُ ضَعَفَةَ أَهْلِهِ فَيَقِفُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ بِلَيْلٍ فَيَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ مَا بَدَا لَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقِفَ الإِمَامُ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقْدَمُ مِنًى لِصَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقْدَمُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا قَدِمُوا رَمَوُا الْجَمْرَةَ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ يَقُولُ أَرْخَصَ فِي أُولَئِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ had sent me from Jam' (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) at night.  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ جَمْعٍ بِلَيْلٍ  

I as among those whom the Prophet ﷺ sent on the night of Al-Muzdalifa early being among the weak members of his family.  

سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يَقُولُ أَنَا مِمَّنْ قَدَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فِي ضَعَفَةِ أَهْلِهِ  

(the slave of Asma') During the night of Jam', Asma' got down at Al-Muzdalifa and stood up for (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-ʿAqaba) 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." She replied, "O my son! Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave permission to the women to do so."  

أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ عِنْدَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَقَامَتْ تُصَلِّي فَصَلَّتْ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَتْ يَا بُنَىَّ هَلْ غَابَ الْقَمَرُ قُلْتُ لاَ فَصَلَّتْ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَتْ هَلْ غَابَ الْقَمَرُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَارْتَحِلُوا فَارْتَحَلْنَا وَمَضَيْنَا حَتَّى رَمَتِ الْجَمْرَةَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ فَصَلَّتِ الصُّبْحَ فِي مَنْزِلِهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهَا يَا هَنْتَاهْ مَا أُرَانَا إِلاَّ قَدْ غَلَّسْنَا قَالَتْ يَا بُنَىَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَذِنَ لِلظُّعُنِ  

Sauda asked the permission of the Prophet ﷺ to leave earlier at the night of Jam', and she was a fat and very slow woman. The Prophet ﷺ gave her permission.  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَتْ سَوْدَةُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ وَكَانَتْ ثَقِيلَةً ثَبْطَةً فَأَذِنَ لَهَا  

We got down at Al-Muzdalifa and Sauda asked the permission of the Prophet ﷺ to leave (early) before the rush of the people. She was a slow woman and he gave her permission, so she departed (from Al- Muzdalifa) before the rush of the people. We kept on staying at Al-Muzdalifa till dawn, and set out with the Prophet ﷺ but (I suffered so much that) I wished I had taken the permission of Messenger of Allah ﷺ as Sauda had done, and that would have been dearer to me than any other happiness.  

نَزَلْنَا الْمُزْدَلِفَةَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَوْدَةُ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ قَبْلَ حَطْمَةِ النَّاسِ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً بَطِيئَةً فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَدَفَعَتْ قَبْلَ حَطْمَةِ النَّاسِ وَأَقَمْنَا حَتَّى أَصْبَحْنَا نَحْنُ ثُمَّ دَفَعْنَا بِدَفْعِهِ فَلأَنْ أَكُونَ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْ سَوْدَةُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ مَفْرُوحٍ بِهِ
