bin Malik while we were proceeding from Mina to 'Arafat, "What do you use
to do on this day when you were with Allah's Apostle ?" Anas said,

used to recite Takbir and nobody objected to that."

Narrated Salim: 'Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he
should not differ from Ibn 'Umar during Hajj. On the Day of 'Arafat, when the
sun declined at midday, Ibn 'Umar came along with me and shouted near
Al-Hajjaj's cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came Out, wrapping himself with a
waist-sheet dyed with safflower, and said, "O Abu Abdur-Rahman! What is the
matter?" He said, If you want to follow the Sunna (the tradition of the
Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to 'Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "At
this very hour?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." He replied, "Please
wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e. take a bath) and come
out." Then Ibn 'Umar dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out. So, he
(Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn 'Umar). I said to him,
"If you want to follow the Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up
for the stay at 'Arafat." He started looking at 'Abdullah (Ibn 'Umar)
(inquiringly), and when 'Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the
truth.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 723:
Narrated Um Al-Fadl bint Al Harith: On the day of
'Arafat, some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not
fasting. So I sent a bowl full of milk to him while he was riding his camel, and
he drank that milk.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 724:
Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: 'Abdul-Malik bin
Marwan wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should follow 'Abdullah bin 'Umar in all the
ceremonies of Hajj. So when it was the Day of 'Arafat (9th of Dhul-Hajja), and
after the sun has deviated or has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn
'Umar came and he shouted near the cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjaj, "Where
is he?" Al-Hajjaj came out. Ibn 'Umar said, "Let us proceed (to
'Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "Just now?" Ibn 'Umar replied,
"Yes." Al-Hajjaj said, "Wait for me till I pour water on me (i.e.
take a bath)." So, Ibn 'Umar dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjaj came
out. He was walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjaj, "If you
want to follow the Sunna today, then you should shorten the sermon and then
hurry up for the stay (at 'Arafat)." Ibn 'Umar said, "He (Salim) has
spoken the truth."

"(Before Islam) I was looking for my camel .." The same narration is
told by a different sub-narrator. Jubair bin Mut'im said, "My camel was
lost and I went out in search of it on the day of 'Arafat, and I saw the Prophet
standing in 'Arafat. I said to myself: By Allah he is from the Hums (literally:
strictly religious, Quraish were called so, as they used to say, 'We are the
people of Allah we shall not go out of the sanctuary). What has brought him
here?"
