Narrated Salim: `Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should not differ from Ibn `Umar during Hajj. On the Day of `Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn `Umar came along with me and shouted near Al- Hajjaj's cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came Out, wrapping himself with a waist-sheet dyed with safflower, and said, O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter? He said, If you want to follow the Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to `Arafat). Al-Hajjaj asked, At this very hour? Ibn `Umar said, Yes. He replied, Please wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e. take a bath) and come out. Then Ibn `Umar dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out. So, he (Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn `Umar). I said to him, If you want to follow the Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for the stay at `Arafat. He started looking at `Abdullah (Ibn `Umar) (inquiringly), and when `Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the truth.
