Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our noble master, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of 'Arafah." And I say, the Messenger, the most radiant of prophets, my heart does not grieve that Allah has turned to you, so you see yourselves and I know you something. Do I mean by this the pilgrims, or does it include others?
Answer:
In principle, it is for the pilgrims, but it includes other Muslims if they supplicate to Allah on this day, for the virtue of supplication on the Day of 'Arafah encompasses them. However, the pilgrims are more deserving and closer to being answered.
