I appeal before You to make my journey a blessing, grant my needs and make me today of those about whom You express pride before those who are more virtuous than I am.’ Thereafter say Talbiyah and you are on your way to ‘Arafat. You can pitch up your tent in Namirah when you arrive in ‘Arafat, which is before the station and before ‘Arafat. On the day of ‘Arafah, take Ghusl (bath) when it is Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime). You can perform al-Zuhr and al-‘Asr Salat (prayer) with one Adhan and two ‘Iqamah. Say al-‘Asr Salat (prayer) earlier, in fact perform them soon one after the other, so you can give yourself enough time for prayer and supplication; it is the day for appealing and pleading (before Allah).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The boundaries of ‘Arafat are from Batn ‘Urnah, to Thawiyah, and Namirah to Dhil Majaz. Behind the hill is the station.’”
