Answer:
The scholars have much to say on this, and the best of what has been said is: that the witness is Friday, and the witnessed is the Day of 'Arafah. Friday is a witness, and the witnessed on Friday is the Day of 'Arafah, which the pilgrims witness. It has also been said otherwise, but this is the best of what has been said.[Al-Buruj 85:1] And the Day of Promise [al-Buruj:1-2] is the Day of Resurrection, [al-Buruj:3] is Friday, and [al-Buruj:3] is the Day of 'Arafah. This is the best of what has been said regarding it. Yes.
