Narrated Salim bin `Abdullah bin `Umar:`Abdul-Malik bin Marwan wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should follow `Abdullah bin `Umar in all the ceremonies of Hajj. So when it was the Day of `Arafat (9th of Dhul-Hijja), and after the sun had deviated or had declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn `Umar came and he shouted near the cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjaj, "Where is he?" Al-Hajjaj came out. Ibn `Umar said, "Let us proceed (to `Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "Just now?" Ibn `Umar replied, "Yes." Al-Hajjaj said, "Wait for me till I pour water on me (i.e. take a bath)." So, Ibn `Umar dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjaj came out. He was walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjaj, "If you want to follow the Sunna today, then you should shorten the sermon and then hurry up for the stay (at `Arafat)." Ibn `Umar said, "He (Salim) has spoken the truth

Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar bataate hain: Abdul-Malik bin Marwan ne Al-Hajjaj ko likha ke woh Hajj ki sab rasmon mein Abdullah bin Umar ki pairvi kare. Isliye jab Arafat ka din aaya, aur suraj aasman ke beech se dhal chuka tha, main aur Ibn Umar aaye aur unhone Al-Hajjaj ke cotton khaimay ke qareeb pukara: "Kahan hai woh?" Al-Hajjaj bahar aaye. Ibn Umar ne kaha: "Let us proceed (Arafat ki taraf)." Al-Hajjaj ne pucha: "Abhi?" Ibn Umar ne haan mein jawab diya. Al-Hajjaj ne kaha: "Mera intezar karo jab tak main apne upar paani daaalu (ghusl karun)." Isliye Ibn Umar utre (aur intezar kiya) jab tak Al-Hajjaj bahar na aaye. Woh mere aur mere waalid ke beech chal rahe the. Maine Al-Hajjaj ko bataya: "Agar aap aaj Sunnat ki pairvi karna chahte hain, to khutba chhoṭTa karein aur Arafat mein thehrne ke liye jaldi karein." Ibn Umar ne kaha: "Usne sach kaha."
