حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم النَّاسَ بِمِنًى وَنَزَّلَهُمْ مَنَازِلَهُمْ فَقَالَ " لِيَنْزِلِ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ هَا هُنَا " . وَأَشَارَ إِلَى مَيْمَنَةِ الْقِبْلَةِ " وَالأَنْصَارُ هَا هُنَا " . وَأَشَارَ إِلَى مَيْسَرَةِ الْقِبْلَةِ " ثُمَّ لْيَنْزِلِ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُمْ " .
AbdurRahman ibn Mu'adh Narrated from:
AbdurRahman ibn Mu'adh said that he heard a man from the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) say: The Prophet (ﷺ) addressed the people at Mina and he made them stay in their dwellings. He then said: The Muhajirun (Emigrants) should stay here, and he made a sign to the right side of the qiblah, and the Ansar (the Helpers) here, and he made a sign to the left side of the qiblah; the people should stay around them.

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1951
This Hadith describes how the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) organized people at Mina. A Companion reports that the Prophet addressed the people and made them stay in their dwellings. He directed the Muhajirun to one side, pointing to the right side of the qiblah, and the Ansar to another side, pointing to the left side of the qiblah. Then he said the people should stay around them. The main topic is Mina camping and order during Hajj. The Hadith does not give a long ruling discussion. It simply shows that during the Hajj stay at Mina, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) gave people clear places and arranged the groups in an orderly way.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) arranged people’s places at Mina.
- The Muhajirun and Ansar were given distinct areas.
- The wider group of people stayed around them.
- Order and clear placement mattered during the Mina stay.
