Sunan Abi Dawud 1936 (Book 11, Hadith 216) #22228
Places of Halting, Sacrifice and Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that the whole of 'Arafah, Al Muzdalifah and Mina are places of halting, sacrifice and prayer respectively.

Jabir reported the Prophet as saying "I halted here in 'Arafah and the whole of 'Arafah is a place of halting. I halted here in Al Muzdalifah and the whole of Al Muzdalifah is a place of halting. I sacrificed the animals here and the whole of Mina is a place of sacrifice. So sacrifice in your dwellings.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ وَقَفْتُ هَا هُنَا بِعَرَفَةَ وَعَرَفَةُ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ وَوَقَفْتُ هَا هُنَا بِجَمْعٍ وَجَمْعٌ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ وَنَحَرْتُ هَا هُنَا وَمِنًى كُلُّهَا مَنْحَرٌ فَانْحَرُوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Perform certain rituals during pilgrimage wherever you may find yourself even if not at designated places with sincerity & dedication towards Allah SWT's commands

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of performing certain rituals during the pilgrimage to Makkah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when one is in 'Arafah, they should halt there as it is a place for halting. Similarly, when one reaches Al Muzdalifah they should halt there too as it is a place for halting. When one reaches Mina they should sacrifice animals there as it is a place for sacrificing animals. However, if someone cannot make it to these places then they can perform these rituals in their own dwellings instead. This hadith teaches us that we must be mindful of our religious obligations even if we are unable to perform them in their designated places or circumstances do not allow us to do so. We must strive to fulfill our religious duties wherever we may be located at any given time with sincerity and dedication towards Allah SWT's commands.
