Imām Aḥmad likewise said: Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUmar related to us; al-Masʿūdī narrated to us; from al-Ḥakam; from Miqsam; from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said:

“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ moved on from ʿArafah the people began to urge their mounts into a brisk trot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ therefore told a herald to call out, ‘People! Righteousness is not attained by driving horses or riding-beasts hard.’ Ibn ʿAbbās continued, ‘After that announcement I did not see a single animal lifting its forelegs into a run until he halted at Jamʿ.’

Imām Aḥmad also said: Ḥusayn and Abū Nuʿaym narrated to us; both reported from Isrāʾīl, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Rufayʿ, who said: Someone who heard Ibn ʿAbbās told me that “the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not dismount between ʿArafah and Jamʿ except to relieve himself.”

He further said: Yazīd ibn Hārūn related to us; ʿAbd al-Malik narrated to us, from Anas ibn Sīrīn, who said:

“I was with Ibn ʿUmar at ʿArafah. When it was time to depart, I left with him until he reached the imam and prayed ẓuhr and ʿaṣr with him. We then remained standing with the imam—my companions and I—until he set off, and we went with him until we reached the narrow pass just short of the two mountain tracks (al-Maʾziman). There he made his mount kneel, so we did the same, thinking he intended to pray. His attendant, who was holding the camel, said, ‘He does not mean to pray; he has recalled that the Prophet ﷺ, when he reached this spot, relieved himself, and he wishes to do likewise.’”

Al-Bukhārī also recorded—through Mūsā, Juwayriyah, and Nāfiʿ—that ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar used to combine Maghrib and ʿIshāʾ at Jamʿ, but he would pass through the ravine taken by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, enter it, relieve himself, perform ablution, and not pray until he reached Jamʿ. Al-Bukhārī alone transmitted this version by this chain.

He further said: Ādam related to us; Ibn Abī Dhīb narrated to us, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Ibn ʿUmar, who said: “The Prophet ﷺ combined Maghrib and ʿIshāʾ at Jamʿ, giving an iqāmah for each of them, and he offered no supererogatory prayers either between the two or after either one.”
