Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ وَاقِفًا بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّمْسِ حِينَ تَدَلَّتْ مِثْلَ التُّرْسِ لِلْغُرُوبِ فَبَكَى وَاشْتَدَّ بُكَاؤُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَدْ وَقَفْتَ مَعِي مِرَارًا لِمَ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا فَقَالَ ذَكَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِمَكَانِي هَذَا فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْهَا إِلَّا كَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْهُ.
English Translation
Isma'il ibn Umar told us: Kathir, that is Ibn Zayd, told me, from al-Muttalib ibn Abdullah, from Abdullah ibn Umar, that he was standing at Arafat and looked at the sun when it had descended like a shield toward setting, and he wept, and his weeping intensified. A man near him said to him, 'O Abu Abd al-Rahman, you have stood with me here many times; why do you do this?' He said: 'I remembered the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, standing in this very spot of mine, saying: O people, nothing remains of your worldly life, of what has passed of it, except like what remains of your day today of what has passed of it.'
