While travel back to Mina spending night at Mujdhalifah

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِٱلرَّحِيمِ

Before sunset Hajj pilgrims they leave Arafah and travel back to  Mina spending night at Mujdhalifah (Jama)/ Al-Mashar al-Haram. As it mentioned in Quran: "But when you depart from Arafat, remember Allah at al-Mashar al-Haram. And remember Him, as He has guided you, for indeed, you were before that among those astray." [Surah al-Baqarah 2:198]

Muzdalifah provides a peaceful atmosphere for  pilgrims seeking spiritual elevation by supplication. They combine Maghrib and Isha prayers by saying seperate Adhan and Ikhama. As the pilgrims arrived group by group because of this one can hear the soft sound of Adhan continuously till midnight.

The Prophet (SAW) skipped thahajuth prayer that night to avoid thahajuth as mandatory one. Pilgrims rest overnight reflect spiritually. After performing Fajr prayer in early dawn, they collect 49 to 70 pebbles for stoning and proceed to Mina.
