Usama was asked in my presence, "How was the speed of (the camel of) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while
departing from `Arafat during the Hajjatul Wada`?" Usama replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on with a
modest pace, and when there was enough space he would (make his camel) go very fast."

← Previous Hadith
During the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance, the people used to perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba naked
except the Hums; and the Hums were Quraish and their offspring. The Hums used to give clothes to
the men who would perform the Tawaf wearing them; and women (of the Hums) used to give clothes
to the women who would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums did not give
clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba naked. Most of the people used to go away (disperse)
directly from `Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at Al-Muzdalifa. `Urwa added, "My
father narrated that `Aisha had said, 'The following verses were revealed about the Hums: Then depart
from the place whence all the people depart--(2.199) `Urwa added, "They (the Hums) used to stay at
Al-Muzdalifa and used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to `Arafat (by Allah's
order)."
