Hadith 34653
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to say, "Someone who does not stand at Arafa on the night of
Muzdalifa before the dawn breaks has missed the hajj, and someone who
stands at Arafa on the night of Muzdalifa before the dawn breaks has
caught the hajj."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 181
← Previous Hadith
Malik was asked about whether a man could stand at Arafa, or at
Muzdalifa, or stone the Jamras, or do say between Safa and Marwa if he
was not in wudu, and he said, "Every practice in the hajj that a
menstruating woman can take part in can be taken part in by a man who
is not in wudu and there is nothing due from him for that. However, it
is better for him to be in wudu for all those things, and he should
not make a general practice of it."
Malik was asked whether a
man who was riding should get down to do the standing at Arafa or if
he could stand while mounted, and he said, "He can stand while
mounted, unless he or his riding beast have an illness, in which case
Allah is the one who most often accepts an excuse." Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 180

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said, "Someone who does not stand at Arafa on the night of
Muzdalifa
before the dawn breaks has missed the hajj, and
some one who stands at Arafa on the night of Muzdalifa before the dawn
breaks has caught the hajj.
Malik said, about a slave freed
during the wuquf at Arafa, "His standing does not fulfil for him the
hajj of Islam, except if he was not in ihram and then he went into
ihram after he was freed and he stood at Arafa that same night before
the dawn broke in which case that is enough for him. If, however, he
did not go into ihram until after the dawn had broken, he is in the
same position as someone who misses the hajj by not catching the
standing at Arafa before the breaking of the dawn on the night of
Muzdalifa, and he will have to do the hajj of Islam later." Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 182
