Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 24, Hadith 402

It was narrated from Abu Ghaftan bin Tarif that he heard Ibn Abbas say: “When the Messenger of Allah departed he reined in his she-camel until its head touched the middle of his saddle, and he was saying to the people: ‘Be tranquil be tranquil,’ on the evening of Arafat.”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ الْوَضَّاحِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، – يَعْنِي ابْنَ أُمَيَّةَ – عَنْ أَبِي غَطَفَانَ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ لَمَّا دَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَنَقَ نَاقَتَهُ حَتَّى أَنَّ رَأْسَهَا لَيَمَسُّ وَاسِطَةَ رَحْلِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِلنَّاسِ ‏
“‏ السَّكِينَةَ السَّكِينَةَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ ‏.‏
