Hadith on Hajj: Proceed calmly during the pilgrimage

Ibn Abbas reported: He was riding with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on the day of Arafat. The Prophet heard people behind him making a loud disturbance, striking and shouting at their camels. The Prophet pointed to them with his whip, and he said, “O people, you must be calm, for there is no righteousness in urgency.”

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَاسٍ أَنَّهُ دَفَعَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَاءَهُ زَجْرًا شَدِيدًا وَضَرْبًا وَصَوْتًا لِلْإِبِلِ فَأَشَارَ بِسَوْطِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ فَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ لَيْسَ بِالْإِيضَاعِ
