And Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shaybani informed me — Ahmad ibn Hazim ibn Abi Gharaza narrated to us — Isma'il ibn Umar Abu al-Mundhir narrated to us — Kathir ibn Zayd narrated to us — from al-Muttalib ibn Abd Allah ibn Hantab — from Hadrat Abd Allah ibn Umar (may Allah be well pleased with them both) that he was standing at Arafat and looked at the sun when it was about to set, like a shield for setting, and he wept and his weeping intensified. He then recited the saying of Allah Almighty: {Allah is the One who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the Balance. And what would make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near} [al-Shura 42:17] to {the Powerful, the Exalted in Might} [Hud 11:66]. His servant said to him: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, I have stood with you many times and you never did this." He replied: "I remembered the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) while he was standing in this very place of mine, and he stated: 'O people, nothing remains of this world of yours compared to what has passed, except as what remains of this day of yours compared to what has passed of it.'" This hadith has an authentic chain of narration, though they did not narrate it. Kathir ibn Zayd was weakened by al-Nasa'i, but others considered him acceptable.
