وَعَن ابنِ شهابٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ الْحَجَّاجَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ عَامَ نَزَلَ بِابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ: كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ؟ فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ إِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ السُّنَّةَ فَهَجِّرْ بِالصَّلَاةِ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: صَدَقَ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَجْمَعُونَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي السُّنَّةِ فَقُلْتُ لِسَالِمٍ: أَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ: وَهل يتَّبعونَ فِي ذلكَ إِلا سنَّتَه؟ رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Ibn Shihab reported: Salim told me that in the year al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf besieged Ibn al-Zubayr, al-Hajjaj asked ‘Abd Allah: “What should we do at the place of standing on the Day of ‘Arafah?” Salim said: “If you want to follow the Sunnah, delay the prayer on the Day of ‘Arafah until midday.” ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar said: “He is right. According to the Sunnah, they would combine the noon and afternoon prayers.” I asked Salim: “Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do that?” Salim replied: “Would they follow any way in that matter other than his Sunnah?” [Al-Bukhari]
