أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يُونُسَ عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ أَنْ يُعْتِقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً مِنْ النَّارِ مِنْ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَدْنُو ثُمَّ يُبَاهِي بِهِمْ الْمَلَائِکَةَ وَيَقُولُ مَا أَرَادَ هَؤُلَائِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَکُونَ يُونُسَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ الَّذِي رَوَی عَنْهُ مَالِکٌ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَی أَعْلَمُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3010
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “There is no day on which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, frees more of His slaves, male and female, from the Fire, than the day of ‘Arafah. He comes close, then He boasts to the angels about them and says: ‘What do these people want?” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: It appears that Yunus bin Yusuf is the one who reported it from Malik, and Allah, Most High, knows best.
