He said: "Hajj is 'Arafah. Whoever comes before Fajr prayer on the night of Jam', he has completed his Hajj. The days at Mina are three. 'But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him.'"[2] Then he seated a man behind him on his mount and he started calling out these words." (Sahih)

Commentary
Standing at 'Arafât is one of the most important pillars of Hajj. Whoever gets the chance to perform this act in time, he will not lose his Hajj. And whoever can not stay at 'Arafât in the specific time, he will miss his Hajj. So, he has to repeat his Hajj if he can afford it.
The basic time for Standing at 'Arafât begins from noon on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah until the sunset. During this time, if one stands even a few moments at Arafât, then this obligatory act is completed.
If one cannot reach 'Arafât before the sunset, but he has attended there before dawn, then his Hajj is also valid. Such a person should stay awhile at 'Arafât, and then should set off to Muzdalifah and stay overnight there.
