English translation
4521. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: A man can perform the Tawāf around the Ka'bah as long as he is not in the state of Ihrām till he assumes the Ihrām for Hajj. Then, if he rides and proceeds to 'Arafāt, he should take a Hady (animal for sacrifice), either a camel, a cow or a sheep, whatever he can afford; but if he cannot afford it, he should observe fast for three days during the Hajj before the day of 'Arafah, but if the third day of his fasting happens to be the day of 'Arafah (i.e., 9th of Dhūl-Hijja), then it is no sin on him (to observe fast on it). Then he should proceed to 'Arafāt and stay there from the time of the 'Asr prayer till darkness falls (sunset). Then they (the pilgrims) should proceed from 'Arafāt, and when they have departed from it, they reach Jam' (i.e., Al-Muzdalifa) where they ask Allāh to help them to be righteous and dutiful to Him, and there they remember Allāh much and say Takbīr [i.e., Allāhu Akbar (Allāh is the Most Great)] and Tahlīl (i.e., Lā ilāha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)] repeatedly before dawn breaks. Then, after offering the morning (Fajr) prayer you should depart and proceed on (to Mina) for the people used to depart (from there at that time), and Allāh تعالى said : "Then depart from the place whence all the people depart. And ask Allāh for His forgiveness. Truly, Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (V.2:199) Then you should go on doing so till you throw pebbles at the Jamrat (Al-'Aqaba).
