أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَفَاضَ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ " السَّكِينَةَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ " . يَقُولُ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ أَيُّوبُ بِبَاطِنِ كَفِّهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ .
Jabir Narrated from:
The Prophet departed from Arafat and started saying: "Be tranquil, O slaves of Allah!" gesturing with his hand like this - and Ayyub gestured with his palm uppermost.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3022
This hadith focuses on the Prophet’s words when he departed from Arafat. Jabir narrated that the Prophet began saying, “Be tranquil, O slaves of Allah,” while gesturing with his hand. The message is direct and easy to understand. During a major Hajj movement, the Prophet guided the people toward calm behavior instead of rushing in a careless way. The hadith about tranquility in Hajj is especially useful for understanding the attitude of a pilgrim in crowded moments. The supplied wording does not add legal details beyond the scene itself, so the explanation stays with the clear point: pilgrims were told to keep calm while moving from Arafat.
What we learn from this hadith
- Pilgrims were reminded to remain calm during movement from Arafat.
- The Prophet used both words and a hand gesture to guide the people.
- Crowded worship settings call for patience and controlled movement.
