During the night of Jam', she got down at Al-Muzdalifa and stood up for (offering) the (prayer) and offered the (prayer) for some time and then asked 'Abdullâh (her slave), O my son ! Has the moon set?" I ('Abdullâh) replied in the negative and she again offered (prayer) for another period and then asked, Has the moon set?" I ('Abdullâh) replied, "Yes." So she said that we should set out (for Mina), and we departed and went on till she threw pebbles at the Jamra (Jamrat-al-'Aqaba) and then she returned to her dwelling place and offered the morning prayer. I (Abdullâh) said to her, "O Hanta [1]! [think we have come (to Mina) early in the night." She replied, "O my son ! Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) gave permission to the women to do so." ' [2:739-O.B.]
