Let there be no negligence in the hope of a little more virtue.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said about fasting on the day of 'Arafah:
-
"I am hopeful to Allah that this will be the expiation for the sins of the previous year and the next year." (Muslim, 1162)
.
Fasting is not desirable for pilgrims staying in Arafa. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stayed in Arafa without fasting.
.
The 9th day of the month of Jilhaj (the day before Eid al-Adha) is called ‘Iwamul Arafah’ or ‘Day of Arafat’, because on this day the pilgrims gather in a field called Arafah. The most important rule of Hajj is to stay on the 9th day of the month of Zilhaj in 'Maidan of Arafa'. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said about the importance of this day, “Staying on the plain of Arafa is Hajj.
