2978 - رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ وَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : «حَدُّ مِنًى مِنَ اَلْعَقَبَةِ إِلَى وَادِي مُحَسِّرٍ وَ حَدٌّ عَرَفَاتٍ مِنَ اَلْمَأْزِمَيْنِ إِلَى أَقْصَى اَلْمَوْقِفِ ».
Hadith.2978 - Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar and Abu Basir narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said:
"The boundary of Mina extends from Al-Aqabah to the Valley of Muhassir, and the boundary of Arafat extends from Al-Mazameen to the farthest point of the standing area (Mawqif)."
2979 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «حَدُّ عَرَفَةَ مِنْ بَطْنِ عُرَنَةَ وَ ثَوِيَّةَ وَ نَمِرَةَ وَ ذِي اَلْمَجَازِ وَ خَلْفَ اَلْجَبَلِ مَوْقِفٌ إِلَى وَرَاءِ اَلْجَبَلِ ».
Hadith.2979 - Imam (as) said:
"The boundary of Arafat includes the Valley of 'Uranah, Thuwiyyah, Namirah, and Dhi al-Majaz, and extends behind the mountain to its rear."
2980 - وَ وَقَفَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِعَرَفَةَ فِي مَيْسَرَةِ اَلْجَبَلِ فَجَعَلَ اَلنَّاسُ يَبْتَدِرُونَ أَخْفَافَ نَاقَتِهِ فَيَقِفُونَ إِلَى جَانِبِهَا فَنَحَّاهَا فَفَعَلُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا اَلنَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَوْضِعُ أَخْفَافِ نَاقَتِي بِالْمَوْقِفِ وَ لَكِنْ هَذَا كُلُّهُ مَوْقِفٌ» وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ « عَرَفَةُ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ وَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلاَّ مَا تَحْتَ خُفِّ نَاقَتِي لَمْ يَسَعِ اَلنَّاسَ ذَلِكَ» وَ فَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلْمُزْدَلِفَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ خَلَلاً فَتَقَدَّمْ فَسُدَّهُ بِنَفْسِكَ وَ رَاحِلَتِكَ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ أَنْ تُسَدَّ تِلْكَ اَلْخِلاَلُ وَ اِنْتَقِلْ عَنِ اَلْهِضَابِ وَ اِتَّقِ اَلْأَرَاكَ وَ نَمِرَةَ وَ هِيَ بَطْنُ عُرَنَةَ وَ ثَوِيَّةَ وَ ذَا اَلْمَجَازِ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ.
Hadith.2980 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) stood at Arafat on the left side of the mountain. People rushed to the place where the hooves of his camel had been, trying to stand beside it. He moved the camel away, but they repeated the same behavior.
He (sw) said: "O people, it is not the spot beneath the hooves of my camel that is the place of standing (Mawqif), but rather, all of this is a place of standing." He gestured with his hand and said: "All of Arafat is a place of standing. If only the area beneath the hooves of my camel were valid, it would not suffice for the people."
He (sw) did the same at Muzdalifah, stating that the whole area is a valid place of standing.
He advised: "If you see a gap, move forward and fill it with yourself and your mount, for Allah (swt) loves that these gaps are filled. Avoid standing on the ridges, and beware of Al-Araak, Namirah, the Valley of 'Uranah, Thuwiyyah, and Dhi al-Majaz, as these are not part of Arafat."
2981 - وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ : «أَصْحَابُ اَلْأَرَاكِ لاَ حَجَّ لَهُمْ وَ هُمُ اَلَّذِينَ يَقِفُونَ تَحْتَ اَلْأَرَاكِ ».
Hadith.2981 - In another narration, Imam (as) said:
"Those who stand under the Araak trees have no valid Hajj, as they are not within the designated standing area (Arafat)."
2982 - وَ وَقَفَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِجَمْعٍ فَجَعَلَ اَلنَّاسُ يَبْتَدِرُونَ أَخْفَافَ نَاقَتِهِ فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ وَ هُوَ وَاقِفٌ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي وَقَفْتُ وَ كُلُّ هَذَا مَوْقِفٌ ».
Hadith.2982 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) stood at Jam‘ (Muzdalifah), and people rushed to the place where the hooves of his camel were.
He (sw) gestured with his hand while standing and said:
"I am standing here, but all of this is a valid place of standing (Mawqif)."
2983 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقِفُ بِالْمَشْعَرِ اَلْحَرَامِ حَيْثُ يَبِيتُ».
Hadith.2983 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
