حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، ح. وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ، أَبِي حَرْمَلَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ رَدِفْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الشِّعْبَ الأَيْسَرَ الَّذِي دُونَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ أَنَاخَ فَبَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَصَبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْوَضُوءَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا خَفِيفًا ثُمَّ قُلْتُ الصَّلاَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ " الصَّلاَةُ أَمَامَكَ " . فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى أَتَى الْمُزْدَلِفَةَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ رَدِفَ الْفَضْلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَدَاةَ جَمْعٍ. قَالَ كُرَيْبٌ فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَزَلْ يُلَبِّي حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْجَمْرَةَ .
Usama b. Zaid (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was sitting behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the riding animal from 'Arafat. As Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached the left side of the mountain which was situated near Muzdalifa, he made the camel kneel down and made water and then came back. I poured water and he, performed light ablution. I then said: Messenger of Allah, it is time for prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The prayer awaits you (at the next station, Muzdalifa). Allah's Messenger (may peaced be upon him) rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and observed prayer. Then al-Fadl (Allah be pleased with him) sat behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and reached (Muzdalifa) in the morning. Kuraib said: 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) narrated from al-Fadl (Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued pronouncing Talbiya until he reached al-Jamara (al-'Aqaba).

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1281a
This Hadith highlights the Prophet’s journey from Arafat to Muzdalifa and the continued recitation of Talbiya during Hajj. Usama b. Zaid was riding behind Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم when the Prophet stopped near Muzdalifa, relieved himself, and performed a light ablution. When Usama reminded him about prayer, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that the prayer was ahead, meaning it would be prayed at Muzdalifa. The narration then mentions that he reached Muzdalifa and prayed there. It also reports, through al-Fadl, that Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم continued pronouncing Talbiya until he reached Jamrat al-Aqaba. The main lesson is careful following of the Prophet’s Hajj practice: prayer at the appointed place, calm movement between sacred sites, and continued Talbiya until the stated point.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم delayed the prayer until reaching Muzdalifa, as stated in the narration.
- A light ablution was performed during the journey before continuing onward.
- Talbiya continued until the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم reached Jamrat al-Aqaba.
