Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks, saying: Honorable Shaykh, what is the virtue of the Day of 'Arafah, and what are the deeds of this day?
Answer:
The Day of 'Arafah, standing at 'Arafah, is the greatest pillar of the pillars of Hajj, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hajj is 'Arafah," meaning that standing at 'Arafah is the greatest pillar of Hajj.
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3585Da’if (Darussalam) So it is the day of performing this great pillar, standing at 'Arafah, making du'a' (supplication), and humbling oneself before Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
For in the evening, it is said regarding the people of 'Arafah that the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) boasts of them to His angels, saying: "Look at My servants; they have come to Me disheveled and dusty from every deep valley. I testify to you that I have forgiven them. Go, you are forgiven, and so is the one for whom you interceded." It is a great standing.
So the Muslim strives in this standing and this noble place to seize the opportunity through du'a' (supplication), humility, and seeking forgiveness, along with performing the obligatory prayers. He strives in this to attain this boasting from the Lord of the Worlds and this forgiveness. We ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) not to deprive us, you, and our Muslim brothers of the fruits of this day and this great standing. Yes.

May Allah reward you,

The best of supplication is the supplication of the Day of `Arafah. And the best of what I and the Prophets before me have said is: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the Praise, and He is powerful over all things.
خير الدعاء دعاء عرفة. وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبلي لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له. له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قديرFor in the evening, it is said regarding the people of 'Arafah that the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) boasts of them to His angels, saying: "Look at My servants; they have come to Me disheveled and dusty from every deep valley.
