1949. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ya'mar Ad-Dailī said: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was at 'Arafāt. A group of people from Najd came, and they asked someone to call out to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: 'What is the Hajj?' The Prophet ﷺ ordered someone to proclaim: 'The Hajj, the Hajj, is the Day of 'Arafah. Whoever comes
before the Subh prayer of the Day of Jam' (Al-Muzdalifah), he has completed his Hajj. The days of Minā are three. Whoever wishes to hasten (to depart) after two days, he will have no blame upon him, and whoever delays, he will have no blame on him.' Then the Prophet ﷺ placed someone behind him, and he began to proclaim this." (Sahih)
Abū Dāwūd said: This is how Mihrān reported it from Sufyān; he said: "The Hajj, the Hajj." While Yaḥyā bin Sa'eed Al-Qaṭṭān reported it from Sufyān, he said: "The Hajj." one time.

Commentary
Staying at the plains of 'Arafāt is a pillar (Rukn), one of the fundamental rites of Hajj. One must stay there, even though briefly. Its time begins from the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, after the sun has crossed the meridian, and ends just before Fajr on the following day. Whoever fails to stay at 'Arafāt, then he has not performed Hajj.
