On the day of Arafah, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and boasts to the angels about the people standing at Arafah, saying, "Look at My servants who have come to Me disheveled and dust-covered, raising their voices in supplication from every distant mountain pass."
إذا كان يوم عرفة أن الله ينزل إلى السماء الدنيا يباهي بأهل عرفة الملائكة فيقول: انظروا إلى عبادي أتوني شعثا غبرا ضاجين من كل فج عميق.
Bazzar narrated it - Kashf Astar (2/28) -, and Abu Yaala (4/69-70), both through Abu Zubayr Makki, from Jabir, who related it. Ibn Khuzayma (4/263) and Ibn Hibban (3853) graded it sahih from this same route. Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Abu Zubayr, and although he was a mudallis, the inclusion of this hadith in Ibn Hibban's Sahih is evidence of an explicit statement of transmission, as he mentioned in the introduction to his Sahih.On this subject there is also the hadith of Umm Salama found in Lalikai (767), though it contains some weakness. Something of similar meaning has been narrated from Ibn Umar, Anas, and Ubada bin Samit, but their chains contain weak and unknown narrators.It has also been narrated from Ibn Umar, who said, "I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ in the masjid of Mina when a man from the Ansar and a man from Thaqif came to him." He then related the hadith at length. In it appears the statement, "As for your standing on the afternoon of Arafah, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and boasts of you before the angels, saying, 'My servants have come to Me disheveled, from every distant path...'"Bazzar narrated it - Kashf Astar (1082) - from Muhammad bin Umar bin Hayaj, who said, Yahya bin Abdul-Rahman Arhabi told us, Ubayda bin Aswad told us, from Sinan bin Harith, from Talha bin Musarrif, from Mujahid, from Ibn Umar, and he related the hadith in full.Bazzar said, "This hadith has been narrated through several routes, and we do not know of any better than this one. It has also been narrated from Ismail bin Rafi, from Anas, and the hadith of Ibn Umar is similar to it."Haythami mentioned it in Al-Majmu (3/274) and said, "Bazzar and Tabarani narrated it in Al-Kabir, and the men of Bazzar are trustworthy."Ibn Hibban narrated it (1887) in his Sahih through the route of Muhammad bin Umar bin Hayaj, except that he inserted "Qasim bin Walid" between Ubayda bin Aswad and Sinan bin Harith. Sinan bin Harith was not deemed trustworthy by anyone other than Ibn Hibban, who mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators in two places, (6/424), where he said, "Qasim bin Walid Hamdani narrated from him," and (8/299), where he said, "Muhammad bin Talha narrated from him."This Sinan was also mentioned by Ibn Abu Hatim in Al-Jarh wal-Tadil (4/254), where he said, "Muhammad bin Talha and Qasim bin Walid narrated from him. I heard my father say that." He said, and Abu Muhammad (himself) said, "Salih bin Huyayy, the father of Hasan bin Salih, narrated from him." End of quote.So he still remains among those whose reliability is unknown, even though the fact that these narrators transmitted from him removes the uncertainty as to his identity.A note, in Kashf Astar it appears as, "Yahya bin Abdul-Rahman told us, Arhabi told us," but the correct reading is "Yahya bin Abdul-Rahman Arhabi," and the addition of "told us" is a mistake.
