Some people among the residents of Najd came to the Messenger of Allah while he was at Arafat. They were questioning him, so he ordered a caller to proclaim: "The Hajj is Arafah. Whoever came to Jam during the night, before the time of Fajr, then he has attended the Hajj. The days of Mina are three, so whoever hastens (leaving after) two days, then there is no sin upon him, and whoever delays, then there is no sin upon him." Muhammad said: "Yahya added: 'And he took a companion rider to proclaim it.'"  

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى الْحَجُّ عَرَفَةُ مَنْ جَاءَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلاَثَةٌ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَزَادَ يَحْيَى وَأَرْدَفَ رَجُلاً فَنَادَى  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Hajj is 'Arafat, the Hajj is 'Arafat, the Hajj is 'Arafat. The days of Mina are three: But whoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him, and whoever stays on, there is no sin on him (2:203). And whoever sees (attends) the 'Arafah before the rising of Fajr, then he has performed the Hajj." Ibn Abi 'Umar said: "Sufyan bin 'Uyainah said: 'This is the best Hadith that Ath-Thawri reported.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلاَثٌ (فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ) وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ عَرَفَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَهَذَا أَجْوَدُ حَدِيثٍ رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man asked him about performing Hajj at Arafat. He said, "Hajj is the day of Arafat or the days of Arafat, and whoever reaches the night of Jam' (i.e., staying at Muzdalifah) before Fajr prayer (i.e., dawn), his Hajj is complete. And the days of Mina are three, so whoever hastens within two days, there is no sin upon him. And whoever delays, there is no sin upon him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنِ الْحَجِّ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ الْحَجُّ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ أَوْ عَرَفَاتٍ وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَقَدْ تَمَّ حَجُّهُ وَأَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثَةٌ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, and a man asked him about Hajj. So he said, "Hajj is on the day of Arafah or whoever reaches Arafah before dawn prayer has indeed performed Hajj. The days of Mina are three days, so whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin upon him, and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنِ الْحَجِّ؟ فَقَالَ الْحَجُّ يَوْمُ عَرَفَاتٍ أَوْ عَرَفَةَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الصُّبْحَفَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Yamar Al-Dili saying that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about Hajj, and he said, "Hajj is Arafat, or he said Arafah. And whoever reaches the night of Al-Jam' before Fajr prayer has indeed reached it." And he said, "The days of Mina are three days. So whoever hastens [the departure] in two days, there is no sin upon him. And whoever delays, there is no sin upon him." [Al-Baqarah 203]  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَعْمُرَ الدِّيلِيَّ يَقُولُ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَجِّ فَقَالَ «الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ أَوْ قَالَ عَرَفَةَ وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ» وَقَالَ «أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ» {فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ} [البقرة 203]  

"I saw the prophet in Arafat when some people from Najd coame to him. They told a man to ask him about Hajj. He said: "Hajj is Arafat. Whoever comes on the night of Jam (Al-Muzdalifah) before Subh prayer, then he has caought up with Hajj. And the days of Mina are three days. But whoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sion on him, and whoever stays on, there is no sino on him.' Then he made a man ride behind him, and he started proclaiming it to the people." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3044)   

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِعَرَفَةَ وَأَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى «الْحَجُّ عَرَفَةُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ» وَأَرْدَفَ رَجُلًا فَنَادَى  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Hajj is Arafat, so whoever reaches Arafat on the night of the Day of Assembly before dawn breaks has indeed reached the days of Mina for three days. And whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin upon him, and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him." Ibn 'Uyaynah said, "So I said to Sufyan Ath-Thawri, 'Do you not have a more honored and better hadith than this in Al-Kufah?'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ عَرَفَةَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ فَقُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمْ بِالْكُوفَةِ حَدِيثٌ أَشْرَفُ وَلَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Hajj is Arafat." He repeated it three times. "So whoever reaches Arafat before dawn breaks has indeed reached the days of Mina for three days. And whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin upon him. And whoever delays, there is no sin upon him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ» ثَلَاثًا «فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ عَرَفَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثٌ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Ya'mar saying: I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The Hajj is Arafat. Whoever reaches Arafat before dawn has indeed reached Hajj, or completed his Hajj if he stays in Mina for three days. Whoever hastens to leave within two days, then there is no sin upon him. And whoever delays, then there is no sin upon him."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَعْمَرَ يَقُولُ شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَةُ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ عَرَفَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ أَوْ تَمَّ حَجُّهُ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing at Arafat, then some people from the people of Najd approached him and asked him about Hajj. He said, "Hajj is on the day of Arafat. Whoever reaches it before the dawn prayer has indeed performed Hajj and completed the days of Mina, which are three days of Tashreeq. And whoever delays, there is no sin upon him." [Al-Baqarah 203]  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَاقِفًا بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَأَقْبَلَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الْحَجِّ فَقَالَ الْحَجُّ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ {فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ} [البقرة 203] عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Hajj is Arafat, Hajj is Arafat. Whoever reaches the night of Jam' (i.e. staying in Mina) before Fajr (dawn), he has completed three days of Mina. So whoever hastens (his departure) in two days, there is no sin upon him. And whoever stays behind, there is no sin upon him." [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:203] Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah said, "I said to Sufyan ath-Thawri, 'Do you not have a hadith in Kufa that is more honorable and better than this?'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَاتٌ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ أَيَّامَ مِنًى ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ {فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ} [البقرة 203] قَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمْ بِالْكُوفَةِ حَدِيثٌ أَشْرَفُ وَلَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا  

"الحَجُّ عرفةٌ من جَاءَ قَبْلَ صلاةِ الصُّبْح مِنْ لَيلَةِ جَمع فقد تَمَّ حَجُّه، أيامُ مِنى ثلاثةُ، فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ في يومين فَلَا إِثْمَ عليه ومَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عليه" .
