1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Ahmad bin Idrees, from Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Yahya, and Muhammed ibn Ali bin Mahbub, from Muhammed bin Isa bin ‘Ubaid, from Safwan bin Yahya, from Isma’eel bin Jabir, from his narrators, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, with regards to the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «That is a Day for which the people will gather, and that is a Day that is (to be) witnessed.» (11:103) He said
That which is the witnessed is the Day of Arafah, and that for which people will gather is the Day of Resurrection.
