5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hafs ibn al-Bakhtariy and Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, ‘Is ‘Arafat, more important or al-Haram (the sacred area)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Haram (the sacred area) is more important.’ It was asked, ‘Why is ‘Arafat not in al-Haram (the sacred area)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This is how Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has made it.’”

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, on the day of ‘Arafah, discontinued Talbiyah (here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command) when the sun declined toward the west from a point overhead. Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), on the day of ‘Arafah, would discontinue Talbiyah (here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command) when the sun declined westward from a point overhead. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you discontinue Talbiyah (here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command), you must continue saying Tahlil (no one deserves worship except Allah), Tahmid (all praise belongs to Allah), Tamjid (Allah glory belongs to Allah) and praising Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious.’”

1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Misma’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘All of ‘Arafat is al-Mawqaf (the station) and the best of it is the foot of the hill.’”

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِذَا وَقَفْتَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَادْنُ عَنِ الْهِضَابِ وَالْهِضَابُ هِيَ الْجِبَالُ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الأَرَاكِ لا حَجَّ لَهُمْ يَعْنِي الَّذِينَ يَقِفُونَ عِنْدَ الأَرَاكِ.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when you pause and stay in ‘Arafat, stay close to the highland, the hills. The Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘People of Arak (a certain area in ‘Arafat) do not have a valid Hajj, that is, those who stay near al-Arak.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي الْمَوْقِفِ ارْتَفِعُوا عَنْ بَطْنِ عُرَنَةَ وَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ الأَرَاكِ لا حَجَّ لَهُمْ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, about al-Mawqaf (the station) has said, ‘You must come out of Batn ‘Urnah.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Hajj of the people of al-Arak is not valid.’” NOTE: (Ahadith 1-3 of this Chapter are best explained in the form of fatwa).

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that you should stay toward the left side of the hill; the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, stayed on the left side of the hill in ‘Arafat. When he stopped, people then began to move close to him on the footsteps of his camel to stand next to him. He moved his camel and so also did the people, and he then said, ‘O people, the place to stay here is not limited to where my camel has set foot. In fact, this entire place is for staying;’ he pointed with his hand toward the whole area. He did the same thing in al-Muzdalifah. ‘If you find a vacant space, fill it up with yourself and transporting animal. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, loves that all of these places be filled up. Move away from the hillside and al-Arak.’ When you stay in ‘Arafat then praise Allah, speak of His Lordship, glory and praise. Say Takhir (Allah is great beyond description) one hundred times. Read Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran one hundred times. Choose for yourself whatever prayers you like. Strive hard; it is the day for prayer and appeal for help (before Allah). Seek protection with Allah against Satan; Satan does not become tired in a place where he loves to make you feel tired (of praying). You should avoid looking at people. Come to yourself, and of the things you say should be this, “O Allah, Lord of all of al-Mash’a‘ir (things that remind one of Allah), set me free of hellfire, increase my sustenance of the lawful kind and keep away from me the wickedness of sinful Jinn and man. O Allah, do not plan against me, or prepare slippery conditions and do not lead me gradually to destruction. You listen to appeals better than all of those who listen. You are the best observer of those who observe, the swiftest of those who prepare accounts and the best of those who grant mercy. I appeal before You O Allah, to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause), make so and so of my wishes to come true.” Of the prayer you may say should be this when you raise your hands to the sky, “O Allah, my wishes are such ones that if You grant them, whatever You deny will not harm me and if You deny whatever You have granted me will not benefit me. I appeal before You to set me free from hellfire. O Allah, I am Your servant, of the things that You own and the control of my forehead is in Your hand, and You know the time of my death. I appeal before You to grant me the opportunity to do whatever pleases You with me. Accept the acts of my al-Hajj that I have performed following the instructions that you had given to Ibrahim Your friend and have showed them to Your beloved one, Muhammad (SAW).” In your prayers you should include this, “O Allah, make me of those with whose deeds You are happy, who are granted long life, and a beautiful life after death.’””

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say this. ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, stayed in ‘Arafat. At about sunset before moving fast said, “O Allah, I seek protection with You against poverty, chaotic affairs and the mischief that takes place during the night and day. It is evening and I seek protection with Your forgiveness against my injustice. It is evening and I seek protection with Your immunity against my fear. It is evening and I seek protection with Your majesty against my lowliness. It is evening and I seek protection with Your ever-living face against my destructible face. O the best One before whom appeals are made, O most generous, lift me up through Your mercy and dress me with Your good health, and keep away from me the evil of all of Your creatures.’” ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun has said, ‘I heard my father saying, “O the best of those before whom appeals are made, O the most generous of those who grant favors, O the best of those who show kindness and mercy.’ Then ask for your wishes.’”

6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لَيْسَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ.

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn Salih ibn abu al-Aswad from abu al-Jarud who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘There is no definite prayer and supplication for the evening of the day of ‘Arafah.’” (Hadith 6 of this Chapter is best explained by Fatwa)
