3014. It was narrated from Ibn Musayyab that 'Aishah said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no day on which Allāh ransoms more slaves from the Fire than the Day of 'Arafah. He draws closer and closer, then He boasts about them before the angels and says: 'What do these people want?'" (Sahih)
3014 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يُونُسَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ، يَقُولُ: عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ، أَنْ يُعْتِقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ، عَبْدًا مِنَ النَّارِ، مِنْ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَدْنُو عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ يُبَاهِي بِهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا أَرَادَ هَؤُلَاءِ "

The Day of 'Arafah is the day of Allāh's mercy. Fasting on this day is Sunnah, but it is not compulsory on a pilgrim since the Prophet ﷺ did not fast on this day at 'Arafah. Being close and speaking is among the attributes of Allāh; human beings do not know how it happens. Believing in the attributes of Allāh is compulsory, but without any resemblance to any of his creation.
