Presents : The Witnessed Day
(The Day of 'Arafah)
Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
In the name of Allah, The Lord of the world.
Glory be to Allaah Who has created Time and has made some times better than others, some months and days and nights better than others, when rewards are multiplied many times, as a mercy towards His slaves.
Among Such Day is the Day of 'Arafah, it is referred to as the Witnessed Day because Allah swore an oath by it in the Qur'an and Allah will not swear an oath by anything except that which is mighty. Allah says :
(وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ)
“By the witnessing day [Friday] and by the witnessed day [the Day of ‘Arafaah].” [al-Burooj 85:3].
This is also in line with the narration of Al-Tirmidhi ; It was reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The promised day is the Day of Resurrection, the witnessed day is the Day of ‘Arafaah, and the witnessing day is Friday.”
In the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer it is said that the hadith is Mawquf and that the statement is that of Abu-Hurayah.
But Majority of scholars are of the opinion that the Day of 'Arafah can be regarded as the witnessed day
Allah knows best.
There are many Ahadeeth of our beloved prophet telling us how mighty and sacred the day of 'Arafah is :
•It is the witnessed day :
Narrated by al- Tirmidhi,
It was reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The promised day is the Day of Resurrection, the witnessed day is the Day of ‘Arafaah, and the witnessing day is Friday.”
•It is a day of forgiveness and freedom from hell fire :
‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no day on which Allaah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafaah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’”
(Sahih Muslim)
Also Imam Ahmad Narrated in his musnad :
It was reported from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah expresses His pride to His angels at the time of ‘Ishaa’ on the Day of ‘Arafaah, about the people of ‘Arafaah. He says, ‘Look at My slaves who have come unkempt and dusty.’”
•Fasting On the day of 'Arafah is an expatiation for two years of Sin :
It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah. He said, “It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year.” (Sahih Muslim)
In Shaa Allah today is the Eighth day in the month of Dhul-Hijjah which means tomorrow is the day of 'Arafah, let all have the intention to fast for it is highly beneficial.
May Allah grant us all goodness, May He turn our bad deeds into Hassanat (Good deeds) and May He reward us all with Jannah. Aameen
Wassalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
