Hadith.2980 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) stood at Arafat on the left side of the mountain. People rushed to the place where the hooves of his camel had been, trying to stand beside it. He moved the camel away, but they repeated the same behavior. He (sw) said: "O people, it is not the spot beneath the hooves of my camel that is the place of standing (Mawqif), but rather, all of this is a place of standing." He gestured with his hand and said: "All of Arafat is a place of standing. If only the area beneath the hooves of my camel were valid, it would not suffice for the people." He (sw) did the same at Muzdalifah, stating that the whole area is a valid place of standing. He advised: "If you see a gap, move forward and fill it with yourself and your mount, for Allah (swt) loves that these gaps are filled. Avoid standing on the ridges, and beware of Al-Araak, Namirah, the Valley of 'Uranah, Thuwiyyah, and Dhi al-Majaz, as these are not part of Arafat."
