Chapter on Shortening the Prayer on the Way to Arafat
رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ يُتِمُّونَ اَلصَّلاَةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَقَالَ «وَيْلَهُمْ أَوْ وَيْحَهُمْ وَ أَيُّ سَفَرٍ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ لاَ يُتَمُّ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "The people of Mecca pray the full (four-unit) prayer at Arafat." Imam عليه السلام said: "Woe to them, or alas for them! What journey is more arduous than this? It should not be performed in full (but shortened to two units)."
