Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abu Ahmad al-Zubayri narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah, from Zayd ibn Ali, from his father, from Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Rafi', from Ali ibn Abi Talib, who said: The Messenger of Allah stood at Arafat and said, ‘This is Arafat, and this is the place of standing; all of Arafat is a place of standing.’ He then departed after sunset, with Usamah ibn Zayd riding behind him. He gestured with his hand to urge the people on calmly; as people jostled to the right and left, he turned toward them and said, ‘People, be calm.’

He then came to Muzdalifah and led them in the two prayers combined. When morning came, he went to Quzah, stood there, and said, ‘This is Quzah, and this is the place of standing; all of Muzdalifah is a place of standing.’ He departed and continued until he reached the valley of Muhassir. He tapped his she-camel, which trotted until it had crossed the valley. He stopped, and al-Fadl rode behind him. Then he came to the Jamrah and stoned it. He went to the place of sacrifice and said, ‘This is the place of sacrifice, and all of Mina is a place of sacrifice.’

A young woman from Khath'am asked him, ‘My father is very old, and Allah's obligation of Hajj has come due for him. Will it suffice if I perform Hajj on his behalf?’ He replied, ‘Perform Hajj on behalf of your father.’ He turned al-Fadl's face away. Al-Abbas asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, why did you turn your cousin's face away?’ He replied, ‘I saw a young man and a young woman, and I was not sure Satan would leave them alone.’

Then a man came and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I departed before shaving.’ He replied, ‘Shave or shorten your hair; there is no blame on you.’ Another man came and said, ‘I slaughtered before stoning.’ He replied, ‘Stone; there is no blame on you.’ Then he went to the House and circumambulated it. He went to Zamzam and said, ‘Children of Abd al-Muttalib, were it not that people might crowd you out, I would draw the water myself.’

There is also a report on this topic from Jabir. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ali is hasan sahih. We know it from Ali only through this route, through Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Ayyash. More than one narrator transmitted it from al-Thawri in this form. Scholars act on this and combine Dhuhr and Asr at Arafat during the time of Dhuhr. Some scholars said that a person who prays at his lodging instead of with the imam may also combine the two prayers as the imam did. Zayd ibn Ali was the son of Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib.
