The Fairwell Pilgrimage

The Hajj of The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) It was during this stay at Arafat that the Quranic verse was revealed: Today I have completed your religion for you and completed My blessing upon you. I have chosen for you Islam as your religion. (Quran 5:3) After sunset, the Prophet left Arafat for Muzdalifah, with Usamah bin Zaid riding behind him. Throughout the journey, he continued to recite the Talbiyah. Upon reaching Muzdalifah, he instructed the people to walk calmly, saying: “O people! Walk with calmness and steadiness, for piety is not found in haste.” (Al-Sunan al-Kubra by AlBayhaqi, Hadith No. 9483) At Muzdalifah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed Hazrat Bilal to call the Adhan. After the Adhan, the Prophet stood and offered the Maghrib prayer before having the camels sit down or unloading the luggage. Once the people had unloaded their belongings, he offered the Isha prayer as qasr, performing two rak‘ahs. Both prayers were performed with a single Adhan and two Iqamah. Apart from the obligatory prayers, the Prophet did not perform any additional prayers. Afterwards, he lay down and slept until morning. Upon awakening, the Prophet offered the Fajr prayer at the earliest time on the morning of the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah. After the Fajr prayer, the Prophet mounted his camel and proceeded to Al-Mash’ar Al-Haram, where he faced the Qiblah and engaged in supplication and invocation until daylight spread. Before sunrise, he left Muzdalifah for
