أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بُکَيْرُ بْنُ عَطَائٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَعْمَرَ الدِّيلِيَّ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرَفَةَ وَأَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ نَجْدٍ فَأَمَرُوا رَجُلًا فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ الْحَجِّ فَقَالَ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَةُ مَنْ جَائَ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَکَ حَجَّهُ أَيَّامُ مِنًی ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَ رَجُلًا فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِي بِهَا فِي النَّاسِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3051
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Ya’mur Ad-Daili said: “I saw the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم in ‘Arafat when some people from Najd came to him. They told a man to ask him about Hajj. He said: ‘Hajj is ‘Arafat. Whoever comes on the night of Jam’ (Al Muzdalifah) before Sub prayer, then he has caught up with Hajj. And the days of Mina are three days. But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him, and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him.’ Then he made a man ride behind him, and he started proclaiming it to the people.” (Sahih)
