Rester à ‘Arafat et ses limites

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, about al-Mawqaf (the station) has said, ‘You must come out of Batn ‘Urnah.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Hajj of the people of al-Arak is not valid.’” NOTE: (Ahadith 1-3 of this Chapter are best explained in the form of fatwa).

Le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu soit sur lui et sur sa famille) a dit : "Au moment de l'arrêt, éloignez-vous du ventre de l'ouragan, et les compagnons des tentes n'ont pas à accomplir le pèlerinage."

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that you should stay toward the left side of the hill; the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, stayed on the left side of the hill in ‘Arafat. When he stopped, people then began to move close to him on the footsteps of his camel to stand next to him. He moved his camel and so also did the people, and he then said, ‘O people, the place to stay here is not limited to where my camel has set foot. In fact, this entire place is for staying;’ he pointed with his hand toward the whole area. He did the same thing in al-Muzdalifah. ‘If you find a vacant space, fill it up with yourself and transporting animal. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, loves that all of these places be filled up. Move away from the hillside and al-Arak.’ When you stay in ‘Arafat then praise Allah, speak of His Lordship, glory and praise. Say Takhir (Allah is great beyond description) one hundred times. Read Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran one hundred times. Choose for yourself whatever prayers you like. Strive hard; it is the day for prayer and appeal for help (before Allah). Seek protection with Allah against Satan; Satan does not become tired in a place where he loves to make you feel tired (of praying). You should avoid looking at people. Come to yourself, and of the things you say should be this, “O Allah, Lord of all of al-Mash’a‘ir (things that remind one of Allah), set me free of hellfire, increase my sustenance of the lawful kind and keep away from me the wickedness of sinful Jinn and man. O Allah, do not plan against me, or prepare slippery conditions and do not lead me gradually to destruction. You listen to appeals better than all of those who listen. You are the best observer of those who observe, the swiftest of those who prepare accounts and the best of those who grant mercy. I appeal before You O Allah, to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause), make so and so of my wishes to come true.” Of the prayer you may say should be this when you raise your hands to the sky, “O Allah, my wishes are such ones that if You grant them, whatever You deny will not harm me and if You deny whatever You have granted me will not benefit me. I appeal before You to set me free from hellfire. O Allah, I am Your servant, of the things that You own and the control of my forehead is in Your hand, and You know the time of my death. I appeal before You to grant me the opportunity to do whatever pleases You with me. Accept the acts of my al-Hajj that I have performed following the instructions that you had given to Ibrahim Your friend and have showed them to Your beloved one, Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.” In your prayers you should include this, “O Allah, make me of those with whose deeds You are happy, who are granted long life, and a beautiful life after death.’””

"Arrêtez-vous à Maysara du mont car le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui et sa famille) s'est arrêté à Arafat à Maysara du mont. Quand il s'est arrêté, les gens se sont précipités pour attacher les rênes de son chameau et se tenir à côté de lui. Il les a repoussés en disant: 'Cet endroit n'est pas l'endroit pour attacher mon chameau, mais tout cela est un endroit pour s'arrêter.' Il a pointé du doigt vers l'endroit et a fait de même à Muzdalifah. Si tu vois une imperfection, corrige-la toi-même et avec ta monture, car Allah aime que ces imperfections soient corrigées. Passe des collines et crains les falaises. Quand tu te tiens à Arafat, loue Allah, glorifie-Le, magnifie-Le, et récite cent fois 'Dis: Il est Allah, Unique'. Choisis pour toi-même la supplication que tu aimes et fais des efforts, car c'est un jour de supplication et de demande. Mets ta confiance en Allah contre Satan, car Satan ne te trompera pas dans un endroit qui lui est plus cher que de te tromper à cet endroit. Et évite de te préoccuper à regarder les gens, concentre-toi sur toi-même et que ta prière soit: 'Ô Allah, Seigneur de tous les sentiments, libère mon cou du feu, accorde-moi une subsistance licite, éloigne de moi le mal des démons parmi les djinns et les humains. Ô Allah, ne complotes pas contre moi, ne me trompe pas, ne m'attire pas dans la ruse, ô Toi qui entends ceux qui entendent, qui voit ceux qui voient, qui juge rapidement, qui est le plus miséricordieux. Je Te demande de prier sur Muhammad et la famille de Muhammad, et d'agir envers moi de telle et telle manière.' Lorsque tu lèves tes mains vers le ciel, dis: 'Ô Allah, ma demande que si Tu l'accordes ne me nuira pas à ce que Tu m'as refusé, et si Tu me la refuses, ce que Tu m'as accordé ne me sera d'aucun secours. Je Te demande la libération de mon cou du feu. Ô Allah, je suis Ton serviteur, Ton esclave, ma destinée est entre Tes mains, ma vie est entre Ta connaissance. Je Te demande de me guider vers ce qui Te satisfait de moi, et de me permettre d'accomplir les rites que Tu as montrés à Ton ami Ibrahim et que Ton bien-aimé Muhammad (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui) a suivi. Que ta prière soit: 'Ô Allah, fais-moi parmi ceux dont Tu es satisfait de leurs actions, dont Tu prolonges la vie, et à qui Tu donnes une bonne vie après la mort.'"

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say this. ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, stayed in ‘Arafat. At about sunset before moving fast said, “O Allah, I seek protection with You against poverty, chaotic affairs and the mischief that takes place during the night and day. It is evening and I seek protection with Your forgiveness against my injustice. It is evening and I seek protection with Your immunity against my fear. It is evening and I seek protection with Your majesty against my lowliness. It is evening and I seek protection with Your ever-living face against my destructible face. O the best One before whom appeals are made, O most generous, lift me up through Your mercy and dress me with Your good health, and keep away from me the evil of all of Your creatures.’” ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun has said, ‘I heard my father saying, “O the best of those before whom appeals are made, O the most generous of those who grant favors, O the best of those who show kindness and mercy.’ Then ask for your wishes.’”

Certes, le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) se tint à 'Arafat. Lorsque le soleil commença à se coucher avant de se coucher, il dit : "Ô Allah, je cherche refuge en Toi contre la pauvreté, la confusion des affaires, le mal de ce qui arrive de jour et de nuit. Le soir est tombé, mon injustice se réfugie dans Ton pardon, ma peur se réfugie dans Ta sécurité, mon humiliation se réfugie dans Ta gloire, et mon visage éphémère se réfugie dans Ton visage éternel. Ô Toi le meilleur de ceux qui sont interrogés, le plus généreux de ceux qui donnent, honore-moi de Ta miséricorde, revêts-moi de Ta santé, éloigne de moi le mal de toute Ta création." Abdullah ibn Maymun a dit : J'ai entendu mon père dire : "Ô le meilleur de ceux qui sont interrogés, le plus large de ceux qui donnent, le plus miséricordieux des miséricordieux, puis demande ce que tu veux."

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn Salih ibn abu al-Aswad from abu al-Jarud who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘There is no definite prayer and supplication for the evening of the day of ‘Arafah.’” (Hadith 6 of this Chapter is best explained by Fatwa)

Il a dit : "Il n'y a rien dans les invocations de la veille d'Arafat qui soit rejeté."

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father who has said the following: “Once I saw ‘Abd Allah ibn Jundab in ‘Arafat but I had not seen any stay (spending the ninth day of Dhu al-Hajj) in ‘Arafat better than that. He continued stretching his hands to the sky and his tears flowed on his both cheeks all the way to the ground. When people left I said to him, ‘O abu Muhammad, I have never seen a wonderful performance in ‘Arafat such as yours.’ He said, ‘By Allah I did not pray for anything but for my brothers (in belief). That is because of abu al-Hassan Musa, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who told me this. “Whoever prays for his brothers (in belief) in his absence is called from the Throne. ‘(O servant of Allah) you will have one hundred thousand times as much reward as one may receive for his prayer.’” Thus, I did not like to leave one hundred thousand guaranteed for only one of mine, of which I am not certain whether it is accepted or not.’”

J'ai vu Abdullah ibn Jundab debout à un endroit, et je n'ai jamais vu un endroit plus beau que le sien. Il tendait ses mains vers le ciel et ses larmes coulaient sur ses joues jusqu'à atteindre le sol. Quand les gens sont partis, je lui ai dit : "Ô Aba Muhammad, je n'ai jamais vu un endroit plus beau que le tien." Il a dit : "Par Allah, je n'ai jamais invoqué que pour mes frères. C'est parce qu'Abu al-Hasan Musa ibn Ja'far m'a informé que celui qui invoque pour son frère en son absence est appelé du Trône, et cela cent mille fois plus, mais j'ai hésité à invoquer cent mille fois plus pour un seul, je ne sais pas si cela sera exaucé ou non."

8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ’Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from ibn abu ‘Umayr from who has said the following: “‘Isa ibn ’A‘yan in al-Hajj during his stay in ‘Arafat prayed for his brothers (in belief) until people left ‘Arafat for al-Muzdalifah. I (the narrator) asked him, ‘You spend your money, make yourself tired and when you reach the place where wishes are presented before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, you then begin to pray for your brothers (in belief). Why do you ignore yourself?’ He replied, ‘I am certain that the prayers of angels are accepted but I have doubts about the acceptability of my prayer for myself.”’

Un groupe de nos compagnons de Sahl ibn Ziyad, de Muhammad ibn 'Isa ibn 'Ubayd, d'Ibn Abi 'Umayr a dit: "Isa ibn 'Ayan, lorsqu'il accomplissait le pèlerinage, se rendait au lieu de rassemblement et se tournait vers l'invocation pour ses frères jusqu'à ce que les gens se dispersent." J'ai alors dit: "Tu dépenses ton argent et tu fatigues ton corps, puis quand tu arrives à l'endroit où les besoins sont exposés à Allah, tu te tournes vers l'invocation pour tes frères et tu délaisses ta propre personne?" Il répondit: "Je suis confiant en l'invocation de l'ange pour moi, mais j'ai des doutes concernant l'invocation pour moi-même."

9. Ahmad ibn Muhammad al ’Asemiy has narrated from Ali ibn al Husayn al Sullamiy from Ali ibn Asbat from Ibrahim ibn abu al Balad or ‘Abd Allah ibn Jundab- who has said the following: “I was in al-Mawqaf (‘Arafat). When I left for al-Muzdalifah I met Ibrahim ibn Shu‘ayb. I offered him greeting of peace. He had trouble in one of his eyes and I found his trouble-free eye had turned red like a piece of blood clot. I said to him, ‘One of your eyes is damaged and I am afraid for your other eye. I wish you reduce weeping.’ He said, ‘By Allah O abu Muhammad, I did not pray for myself today.’ I then asked for whom then did you pray today?’ He replied, ‘I prayed for my brothers (in belief) because I have heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say, “If one prays for his brother (in belief) in his absence, Allah appoints an angel who says, ‘Double of the same is for you.’” I decided to pray for my brothers (in belief) so that the angel prays for me; I have doubts about the acceptability of my prayer for myself but I have no doubt about the acceptability of the prayer of the angel for me.’”

10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd from ‘Amr ibn abu al-Miqdam who has said the following: “I saw abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, on the day of ‘Arafah in al-Mawqaf (the station) saying at the top of his voice, ‘O people, the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, was an Imam. Then Ali ibn abu Talib was an Imam. Then al-Hassan was an Imam. Then al-Husayn was an Imam. Then Ali ibn al-Husayn was an Imam. Then Muhammad ibn Ali was an Imam. Then, Hah.’ He then called three times toward his front, right, left and backside; twelve voices.’ I (the narrator) then went to Mina and asked Arab linguists about the meaning of the word “Hah.” They said, ‘It is an expression of banu so and so, meaning, “I am the one. Ask me whatever you want.” I then asked other Arab linguists and they also said the same thing.”

11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘What should people do if ‘Arafat becomes full?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They can go higher toward the hills.’” NOTE: (Fatwa best explains Hadith 11 of this Chapter)

Quand Arafat devient étroit, ils devraient monter vers la montagne.
