Ibn Abbas said The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from ‘Arafah preserving a quiet demeanor and he took Usamah up behind him (on the Camel). He said “O people preserve a quiet demeanor for piety does not consist in exciting the Horses and the Camels (i. e., in driving them quickly). ” He (Ibn Abbas) said “Thereafter I did not see them raising their hands running quickly till he came to Al Muzdalifah. ” The narrator Wahb added He took Al Fadl bin Abbas up behind him (on the Camel) and said O people piety does not consist in exciting the Horses and the Camels (i. e., in driving them quickly), you must preserve a quiet demeanor”. He (Ibn Abbas) said “Thereafter I did not see them raising their hands till he came to Mina. ”

Ibrahim bin Uqabah said “Kuraib told me that he asked Umamah bin Zaid saying tell me how you did in the evening when you rode behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said “We came to the valley where the people make their Camels kneel down to take rest at night. ” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made his she Camel kneel down and he then urinated. He then called for water for ablution and performed the ablution but he did not perform minutely (but performed lightly). I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ, prayer? He replied “Prayer ahead of you”. He then mounted (the Camel) till we came to Al Muzadalifah. There iqamah for the sunset prayer was called. The people then made their Camels kneel down at their places. The Camels were not unloaded as yet, iqamah for the night prayers was called and he prayed. The people then unloaded the Camels. The narrator Muhammad added in his version of the tradition How did you do when the morning came? He replied Al Fadl rode behind him and I walked on foot among the people of the Quraish who went ahead.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Prophet then took up Usamah behind him (on the camel), and drove the camel at a quick pace. The people were beating their camels right and left, but he did not pay attention to them; he was saying: O people, preserve a quiet demeanour. He proceeded (from Arafat) when the sun had set.

Hisham bin Urwah reported on the authority of his father Usamah bin Zaid was asked when I was sitting along with him, how did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ travel during the Farewell Pilgrimage when he proceeded from ‘Arafah to Al Muzdalifah? He replied he was travelling at a quick pace and when he found an opening he urged on his Camel. Hisham said “Nass (running or urging on the Camel) is above ‘anaq (going at a quick pace). ”

Usamah said: I rode behind the Prophet ﷺ When the sun set Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from ‘Arafah (to Al Muzdalifah).

Usamah bin Zaid said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from ‘Arafah. When he came to the mountain path, he alighted, urinated and performed the ablution, but he did not perform it completely. I said to him Prayer? He said “The prayer will be offered ahead of you. ” He then mounted. When he reached Al Muzdalifah he alighted performed the ablution, performed it well. Thereafter iqamah for the prayer was called and he offered the sunset prayer. Then everyone made his Camel kneel down at his place. Iqamah was then called for night prayer and he offered it but he did not pray between them.
