The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Move away from the valley of Uranah, and move away from the valley of Muhassir."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: ارفعوا عن بطن عرنة، ارفعوا عن بطن محسر.

Ibn Khuzayma (2816), Hakim (1/462), and from him Bayhaqi (5/115) all narrated it through Muhammad bin Kathir, who said, Sufyan bin Uyayna narrated to us, from Ziyad bin Saad, from Abu Zubayr, from Abu Mabad, from Ibn Abbas, and he mentioned it.These same authorities also narrated it through Yahya bin Saeed, from Ibn Jurayj, who said, Ata informed me, from Ibn Abbas, who said, and he mentioned it as a saying attributed to Ibn Abbas himself without tracing it to the Prophet, though the ruling belongs to whoever traced it to him.Hakim said, "This hadith is sahih according to the criterion of Muslim." He said, "It has a corroborating witness meeting the criterion of Bukhari and Muslim together, except that there is a shortening in its chain. As for his saying 'the Uranat,' it refers to standing at Urana, meaning do not stand at Urana. And as for his saying 'from Muhassir,' it refers to camping at Jam, meaning do not camp at Muhassir." End of quote.I say, this chain is hasan because of the discussion surrounding Muhammad bin Kathir Sanani, though his narrations are hasan, and he is not Abdi as appears in Ibn Khuzayma's version. Perhaps Hakim said "according to the criterion of Muslim" thinking he was Abdi, just as Ibn Khuzayma stated. Nawawi was not correct in weakening this hadith on account of him, saying, "The majority of scholars weakened him, and Muslim did not narrate from him," in Majmu (8/122). I say, Muhammad bin Kathir is Sanani, and he is not someone whom the majority of scholars agreed to weaken. Rather, Ibn Main said of him, "He was truthful." Ibn Saad said, "He was trustworthy." Abu Hatim said, "He was a righteous man." Ibn Hibban mentioned him in Thiqat. A narrator like this has his hadith graded hasan in corroborating narrations, and we have indeed found a corroborator for him. Tahawi narrated it in Mushkil (1194) through the route of Abu Ashath Ahmad bin Miqdam Ajli, who said, Ibn Uyayna narrated to us with his chain, and he mentioned it.On this topic there is also what was narrated from Abu Hurairah, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "All of Arafah is a place of standing, so move away from the valley of Urana. All of Muzdalifa is a place of standing, so move away from the valley of Muhassir. All of Mina is a place of sacrifice, and all the mountain passes of Makkah are places of sacrifice." Abdul-Razzaq narrated it from Mamar, from Muhammad bin Munkadir, from Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned it. Ibn Abdul-Barr mentioned it in Istidhkar (13/10), but I did not find it in Musannaf Abdul-Razzaq, so it needs to be examined. Its chain is disconnected, for Muhammad bin Munkadir did not hear from Abu Hurairah, as Ibn Main and Abu Zura stated.Bayhaqi narrated it (5/115) through the hadith of Abdul-Wahhab bin Ata. Ibn Jurayj said, Muhammad bin Munkadir informed me that the Prophet ﷺ said (and he mentioned it), and this report has a missing link in its chain.On this topic there is also what was narrated from Jubayr bin Mutim, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "All of Arafat is a place of standing, so move away from the valley of Urana. All of Muzdalifa is a place of standing, so move away from Muhassir. All the mountain passes of Mina are places of sacrifice, and all the days of Tashriq are days for slaughtering." Imam Ahmad (16751) and Bayhaqi (5/239) both narrated it through the hadith of Abu Mughira, who said, Saeed bin Abdul-Aziz narrated to us, who said, Sulayman bin Musa narrated to me, from Jubayr bin Mutim, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he mentioned it. Sulayman bin Musa is Ashdaq, and he did not meet Jubayr bin Mutim.Daraqutni (4/284), Bayhaqi (5/239), and Tabarani (2/138) also narrated it, all through the hadith of Suwayd bin Abdul-Aziz, from Saeed bin Abdul-Aziz Tanukhi, from Sulayman bin Musa, from Nafi bin Jubayr bin Mutim, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said, "All the days of Tashriq are days for slaughtering." Bayhaqi said, "The first is missing a link, and this one is not strong, because its narrator is Suwayd." Bazzar narrated it through this same route and said, "Suwayd alone narrated it, and what he alone narrates cannot be relied upon." This is how it appears in Kashf Astar (1/27), but it seems that the chain fell out of Kashf Astar, or Haythami did not mention it in Kashf. Otherwise, Zaylai also quoted from it in Nasb Raya (3/61), and this is his wording, "Bazzar said, 'Suwayd bin Abdul-Aziz narrated it, saying in it, from Nafi bin Jubayr, from his father, and he is a man who is not a reliable memorizer, and he cannot be relied upon when he narrates alone. The hadith of Ibn Abu Husayn is the correct one, even though Ibn Abu Husayn did not meet Jubayr bin Mutim. We have only mentioned this hadith because we do not know of anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stating that all the days of Tashriq are for slaughtering except through this hadith, so we mentioned it accordingly and explained the flaw in it.'" End of quote.The hadith of Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Husayn to which Bazzar referred is what he narrated, as found in Kashf Astar (1126), and Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (3854), and Bayhaqi (9/295-296), all through the hadith of Saeed bin Abdul-Aziz, from Sulayman bin Musa, from Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Husayn, from Jubayr bin Mutim, mentioning something similar. So they inserted "Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Husayn" between Sulayman bin Musa and Jubayr bin Mutim. Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Husayn also did not meet Jubayr bin Mutim, and no one but Ibn Hibban rated him as reliable, so he is "acceptable" according to the terminology of Ibn Hajar, and he needs corroboration. Thus the correct view is that this report has a missing link, as Bayhaqi said. Sulayman bin Musa is Umawi Ashdaq, the jurist of the people of Sham in his time, about whom there is disagreement, though his hadith is hasan. The hadith has other chains as well, none of which are sahih.On this topic there is also what was narrated from Jabir, traced to the Prophet, "All of Arafah is a place of standing, so move away from the valley of Urana. All of Muzdalifa is a place of standing, so move away from the valley of Muhassir. All of Mina is a place of sacrifice, except what lies beyond Aqaba." Ibn Majah (3012) narrated it from Hisham bin Ammar, who said, Qasim bin Abdullah Umari narrated to us, who said, Muhammad bin Munkadir narrated to us, from Jabir bin Abdullah, who said (and he mentioned it). Its chain is very daif because of Qasim bin Abdullah Umari, for he is extremely weak. Ahmad said, "He used to lie and fabricate hadith, so people abandoned his narrations."On this topic there is also what was narrated from Habib bin Khumasha Khatmi, who said, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say at Arafah, "All of Arafah is a place of standing, except the valley of Urana, and all of Muzdalifa is a place of standing, except the valley of Muhassir." Harith narrated it in his Musnad (Bughya) (384) from Muhammad bin Umar, who said, Salih bin Khawwat narrated to us, from Yazid bin Ruman, from Habib bin Umayr, from Habib bin Khumasha Khatmi, and he mentioned it. Muhammad bin Umar is Waqidi, who is accused of unreliability, and Hafiz Ibn Hajar faulted the hadith on his account in Isaba, in the biography of Habib bin Umayr bin Khumasha.On this topic there is also what was narrated from Amr bin Madikarib Zubaydi, who said, "I recall us standing in the valley of Muhassir, fearing that the jinn would snatch us away, so the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Move away from the valley of Urana, for they are your brothers now that they have embraced Islam.'" Tabarani narrated it in Kabir (17/46-47), Awsat (2303), and Saghir (157), Bazzar (1093), and Tahawi in Mushkil (1200), all through the route of Muhammad bin Ziyad bin Zabbar Kalbi, who said, Sharqi bin Qatami narrated to us, from Abu Talq Aidhi, from Shurahbil bin Qaqa, who said, I heard Amr bin Madikarib say (and he mentioned it) in a long hadith, as mentioned earlier under the wording of the talbiyah, and it contains a chain of daif narrators.On this topic there is also what Malik narrated as a report that reached him without a complete chain, in the chapter on Hajj (166), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "All of Arafah is a place of standing, so move away from the valley of Urana, and all of Muzdalifa is a place of standing, so move away from the valley of Muhassir." Ibn Abdul-Barr said in Tamhid (24/417), "This hadith is connected through the hadith of Jabir bin Abdullah, the hadith of Ibn Abbas, and the hadith of Ali bin Abu Talib." And he said in Istidhkar (13/9-10), "This hadith is connected through the hadith of Jabir, Ibn Abbas, and Ali bin Abu Talib. We have mentioned its routes in Tamhid, and most of them make no mention of the valley of Urana. Its chain is sahih according to the jurists, and it is preserved through the hadith of Abu Hurairah." End of quote.Ibn Abdul-Barr said, "The scholars differed regarding one who stands within Arafah at Urana. Malik said, as Ibn Munzir reported from him, that he must offer a sacrifice and his Hajj is complete." Abu Umar said, "Khalid bin Nizar narrated this report from Malik." Abu Musab said, "He is like one who did not stand at all, and his Hajj is invalidated, and he owes a Hajj the following year if he stood in the valley of Urana." It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said, "Whoever proceeds from Urana has no valid Hajj." Qasim and Salim said, "Whoever stands at Urana until he departs has no valid Hajj." Ibn Munzir attributed this view to Shafii, who said, "This is what I hold, because it does not suffice for him to stand in a place which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded should not be stood in." End of quote (13/13).Nawawi said in Majmu (8/120), "If someone stands in the valley of Urana, his standing is not valid according to us, and this is the view held by the majority of scholars. Ibn Munzir and our companions reported from Malik that it is valid but he must offer a sacrifice." Abdari said, "This that our companions reported from Malik, I have not found attributed to him. Rather, his position on this issue is like that of the jurists, that it does not suffice." He said, "His followers have explicitly stated that it is not permissible to stand at Urana."Then Nawawi said, after listing the hadiths on this topic, "The argument against Malik rests on three things. The first is the report with a missing link, for a report with a missing link is a valid proof according to him. The second is the report attributed only to Ibn Abbas without being traced to the Prophet, and this too is a valid proof according to him. The third is that what we have stated regarding the defined boundary of Arafat is agreed upon, while what he claims about Urana falling within that boundary is not accepted without evidence, and they have no sahih or daif evidence for that. And Allah knows best."
