1663. Narrated Sālim bin 'Abdullāh (bin ʿUmar); 'Abdul-Mālik bin Marwān wrote to Al-Hajjāj that he should follow 'Abdullāh bin ʿUmar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا in all the ceremonies of Hajj. So, when it was the Day of ʿArafa (9th of Dhul-Hijjah), and after the sun has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما came and he shouted near the cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjāj, "Where is he?" Al-Hajjāj came out. Ibn 'Umar said, "Let us proceed (to 'Arafāt)." Al-Hajjāj asked, "Just now?" Ibn 'Umar replied, "Yes." Al-Hajjāj said, "Wait for me till I pour water on me (i.e., take a bath)." So, Ibn 'Umar dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjāj came out. He was walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjāj, "If you want to follow the Sunna (the legal way) of the Prophet (ﷺ) today, then you should shorten the Khutba (religious talk) and then hurry up for the stay (at 'Arafāt)." Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما said, "He (Sālim) has spoken the truth."

1663 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ المَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ، كَتَبَ إِلَى الحَجَّاجِ أَنْ يَأْتَمَّ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فِي الحَجِّ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، جَاءَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ زَالَتْ، فَصَاحَ عِنْدَ فُسْطَاطِهِ أَيْنَ هَذَا؟ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: «الرَّوَاحَ» فَقَالَ: الآنَ، قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، قَالَ: أَنْظِرْنِي أُفِيضُ عَلَيَّ مَاءً، فَنَزَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا حَتَّى خَرَجَ، فَسَارَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَبِي فَقُلْتُ: إِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُصِيبَ السُّنَّةَ اليَوْمَ فَاقْصُرِ الخُطْبَةَ وَعَجِّلِ الوُقُوفَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ «صَدَقَ»
