Summary
This Irsyad al-Hadith entry lists seven virtues of the Day of Arafah based on hadith. It is the essential pillar of the Hajj, the day the religion was completed, one of the festival days of Muslims, and a day of witnessing. Supplication on that day is described as the best supplication, fasting on it expiates the sins of the previous and the coming year, and it is the day on which most servants are freed from the Fire. Muslims are encouraged to seize the opportunity of this day.
