حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَحْوَصُ بْنُ جَوَّابٍ الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظُّهْرَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَالْفَجْرَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ بِمِنًى .

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1911

Ibn Abbas reports that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم offered the noon prayer on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, known as Yawm at-Tarwiyah, in Mina. He also prayed the dawn prayer on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, known as Yawm al-Arafah, in Mina. The report is brief and focused. It does not describe the whole Hajj journey. It simply preserves where these two prayers were offered before going to Arafah. This makes it useful for people searching for Mina prayers during Hajj.
