the only additional detail here is that he is described as a Bedouin. Hence Shaykh al-Kashmīrī’s remark in Fayḍ al-Bārī, “As for the man, the two commentators were unable to identify him, yet I have found his name—it appears in al-Adab al-Mufrad of al-Bukhārī,” is, as is evident, incorrect.
11 – Whoever combines two prayers, whether advancing the second or delaying the first, should pronounce an iqāma for each prayer. This is precisely what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did during the Battle of the Trench, at ʿArafah, and at Muzdalifah.
There are several hadiths on this point:
-
Jābir’s long ḥajj narration states that the Prophet ﷺ gave one iqāma for ẓuhr and another for ʿaṣr while at ʿArafah, then proceeded to Muzdalifah where he prayed maghrib and ʿishāʾ with a single adhān and two iqāmas. This was cited earlier under Issue Seven of the chapter on the call to prayer.
-
Usāmah ibn Zayd reported: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left ʿArafah, halted in a ravine, relieved himself, and performed ablution, though not thoroughly. I said, ‘The prayer, O Messenger of Allah!’ He replied, ‘The prayer lies ahead of you.’ When he reached Muzdalifah he performed ablution perfectly; the iqāma was given and he prayed maghrib, after which everyone made his camel kneel at its place. Then a second iqāma was pronounced and he prayed (ʿishāʾ) without offering any voluntary prayers in between.”
Al-Bukhārī recorded this via Mālik, and it is also found in the Muwaṭṭaʾ, as well as in Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, al-Dārimī, and Ibn Mājah.
