When Ibn ʿUmar was ready to depart, he asked, “Has the sun passed its zenith?” They said, “Not yet,” so he sat down. He asked again; they said it had not yet passed, so he sat down. He asked a third time and received the same reply, and sat down. He asked a fourth time; they said, “Yes.” When they said it had passed its zenith, he set out. Wakīʿ said: That is, he departed.

Ayyūb ibn Muḥammad al-Hāshimī narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Qāhir ibn al-Sarī al-Sulamī narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Kinānah ibn ʿAbbās ibn Mirdās al-Sulamī narrated to us, that his father informed him, from his father, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for forgiveness for his community on the evening of ʿArafah, and the response came: “I have forgiven them, except the wrongdoer; I will take the right of the wronged from him.” He said, “My Lord, if You will, grant the wronged person a share from Paradise and forgive the wrongdoer.” His request was not answered that evening. When morning came at Muzdalifah, he repeated the supplication, and his request was granted. The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed—or smiled. Abū Bakr and ʿUmar said to him, “May our fathers and mothers be your ransom! This is not usually a time when you laugh; what has made you laugh, may God gladden you?” He said, “When the enemy of God, Iblīs, learned that God, Mighty and Majestic, had answered my supplication and forgiven my community, he took up dust and began throwing it on his head, crying out in woe and destruction. What I saw of his distress made me laugh.”

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah and ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us; they said: Wakīʿ narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Bukayr ibn ʿAṭāʾ. I heard ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yaʿmur al-Dīlī say: I was present with the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) while he stood at ʿArafah. Some people from Najd came to him and said, “Messenger of God, what is Hajj?” He said, “Hajj is ʿArafah. Whoever arrives before the dawn prayer on the night of Muzdalifah has completed his Hajj. The days at Minā are three; whoever leaves after two days bears no sin, and whoever stays longer bears no sin.” Then he had a man ride behind him and began calling these words aloud. Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us: al-Thawrī informed us, from Bukayr ibn ʿAṭāʾ al-Laythī, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yaʿmur al-Dīlī, who said: I came to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) at ʿArafah. A group of people from Najd came to him, and he mentioned a report similar to the above. Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā said: I do not think al-Thawrī narrated a report more distinguished than this one.

He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “Messenger of God, I have worn out my mount and exhausted myself. By God, I left no mountain or path without stopping upon it. Do I still have a Hajj?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever attends the prayer with us and departs from ʿArafāt by night or day has completed his rites and his Hajj is complete.”
