Then, when the day of Arafa came Abdullah ibn Umarwent to him just after noon, and I went with him. He called out to himoutside his tent, 'Where is this man?' and a-lHajjaj came out to him,wearing a blanket dyed with safflower, and said to him, 'What's upwith you, Abu Abd ar-Rahman?' He said, 'Hurry up, if you want tofollow the sunna.' Al-Hajjaj said, 'At this hour?' and he said, 'Yes.'Al-Hajjaj said, 'Wait until I have poured some water over myself, andthen I will come out.' So Abdullah dismounted and waited until al-Hajjaj came out. He passed between me and my father and I said to him,'If you want to accord with the sunna today, then make the khutbashort, do not delay the prayer and do the prayer quickly.' Then hebegan looking at Abdullah ibn Umar to see if he would say the samething, and when Abdullah saw that, he said, 'What Salim is saying istrue.'
