885. 'Ali bin Abī Tālib, may Allāh be pleased with him, narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stopped at 'Arafāt and said: 'This is 'Arafah, and it is the place of standing. And all of 'Arafāt is a place for standing.' Then he departed when the sun had set and took Usāmah bin Zāid as a companion rider, and he was motioning with his hand as was his custom, and the people were striking (their camels) on the right and the left to try and catch them, so he said: 'O you people! Be calm.' Then he came to Jama'[1] and performed the two Ṣalāt there combined. When the morning came, he went to Quzah and stood there and said: 'This is Quzah, and it is a place of standing, and all of Jama' is a place for standing.' Then he departed until he arrived at Wādi Muḥassir. Then he stuck his she-camel and she trotted until he passed the valley. Then he stopped and took Al-Faḍl as a companion rider and went to the Jamrah to stone it. Then he went to Al-Manḥar[2] and said: 'This is Al-Manḥar, and all of Minā is a place for sacrifice.' A young girl from Khath'am came to ask him for a verdict, she said: 'Indeed my father is an elderly man who has lived until Allāh has made Hajj obligatory, so
would he be rewarded if I perform Hajj for him? He said: 'Perform Hajj for your father.'" He said: "And he ﷺ turned the neck of Al-Faḍl.[1] So Al-'Abbās said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Why did you turn the neck of your cousin?' He said: 'I saw a young man and a young woman, and they were not safe from Shaitān.' A man came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allāh! I performed (Tawāf) Al-Ifāḍah before shaving.' He said: 'Shave, and there is no harm' – or; 'Clip and there is no harm'" He said: "Someone else came and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I did the sacrifice before stoning.' So he said: 'Stone, and there is no harm.'" He said: "The he went to the House (Ka'bah) to perform Tawāf around it, then he went to Zamzam and said: 'O tribe of 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib! If it were not that the people would rush upon you then I would remove it.'"[2] (Da'if)
He said: There is something about this from Jābir.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Alī is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. We do not know of it as a narration of 'Alī except from this route; as a narration of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Hārīḥ bin 'Ayyāsh. Others have reported it similarly from Ath-Thawrī.
This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, they held the view that Zuhr and ʿAṣr are combined during the time of Zuhr at 'Arafāt.
Some of the people of knowledge said that if a man performs the Ṣalāt at his camp without attending it with the Imām, then if he wants to combine the two prayers just as he does with the Imām.
He said: Zaid bin 'Alī is Ibn Ḥusain bin 'Alī bin Abī Ṭālib [peace be upon him].

Commentary
a. It is recommended to proceed to 'Arafāt from Minā after sunrise on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah and it is also preferable to stay in the valley of Namirah, and, at the descent of the sun from its zenith one should reach 'Arafāt in either case.
b. On the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah there are four things to be performed: 1) to throw the pebbles at 1st Jamrah 2.) to sacrifice the animal 3.) shaving the head or cutting of hair 4.) Tawāf of Ka'bah which is as Tawāf-Az-Ziyārah or Tawāf Al-Ifādah. It is recommended to perform these rituals in the same sequence as prescribed but if the sequence is not maintained there is no harm in it and there is no penalty for it.
c. What is reported in this narration is also reported in other authentic narrations with Al-Bukhārī, Muslim, and others.
