حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُمَحِيُّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَنْزِلُ بِعَرَفَةَ وَادِيَ نَمِرَةَ فَلَمَّا قَتَلَ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرُوحُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ ذَاكَ رُحْنَا فَأَرْسَلَ الْحَجَّاجُ رَجُلًا يَنْظُرُ أَيَّ سَاعَةٍ يَرُوحُ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَنْ يَرُوحَ قَالَ أَزَاغَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَالُوا لَمْ تَزِغْ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ زَاغَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَالُوا لَمْ تَزِغْ فَلَمَّا قَالُوا قَدْ زَاغَتْ ارْتَحَلَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4782
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to camp in 'Arafah at Wadi Namirah. When al-Hajjaaj killed Ibn az-Zubayr, he sent word to Ibn 'Umar, asking him at what time the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) departed on this day. He said: When it is time, we shall depart. Al-Hajjaaj sent a man to watch and see at what time he would depart. When Ibn Umar wanted to depart, he said: Has the sun passed the meridian? They said: It has not passed the meridian yet. He said: Has the sun passed the meridian? They said: Not yet. When they said that it had passed the meridian, he departed.
