The Hajj and standing at "Arafa
At-Tabarani and others transmitted from the hadith of Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, going back to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said:
When a man sets out for hajj with wholesome provi- sion and places his foot in the stirrup and calls out, "At
Your service, O Allah, then a caller from heaven calls out, At your service and obedience! Your provision is lawful and your mount is lawful and your hajj is accepted and unencumbered. When a man sets out with unwholesome provision and puts his foot in the stirrup and says, "At Your service, O Allah, then a caller from the heaven calls out, "You have no service or obedience! Your provision is unlawful and your mount is unlawful, and your hajj is not accepted."
Muslim transmitted in his Sahih from 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
"There is no day on which Allah more frequently frees His slaves from the Fire than the Day of Arafa and He draws near and boasts of them to the angels and asks, What do these people want?""
From Jabir is that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
"There is no day better with Allah than the day of "Arafa. On it Allah, the Blessed and Almighty, descends to the lowest heaven to boast of the people of the earth to the people of heaven and He says, "Look at My slaves, dishev- elled, dusty, and without shade. They have come through every deep ravine, hoping for My mercy and they will not see My punishment. So there is no day when more people are set free from the Fire than on the Day of 'Arafa."
