Al-Hajj Al-Mabroor

Or the offspring of Satan, the devils of jinn along with the devils of
humankind, who devote themselves to what is ranked below the
supreme faith: temptation of people to commit other sins like
adultery, bribery, stealing and others. That is the work of the
offspring of Satan. As for Satan himself, as aforesaid, he barges,
into your highest beliefs and tries to arise doubts within you, with
respect to the existence of Allah, His Oneness and His Might and
Power and he keeps insinuating evil to man.
Pouring down from ‘Arafât
The Truth, praise and glory be to Him, says (what means):
“Then when you pour down from (mount) Arafat, remember
Allâh (by glorifying His Praises, i.e. prayers and invocations,
etc.) at the Sacred Monument.” (Al-Baqarah, 2: 198)
But what is the significance of pouring down? When you fill a cup
to the brim the surplus must overflow on the sides. Hence, the
surplus is something beyond the capacity that got separated from
an existing whole.
The Qur’anic verse saying (what means), ‘Then when you pour
down from (mount) Arafat,’ is a forejudgment that on departing
‘Arafât it will be filled in a way that surpasses its specified capacity
as though overflowing. That is the Judgment of Allah in Hajj. If
you witnessed that scene and saw the pilgrims overflowing from
‘Arafât, as though you are seeing a cup that was filled and started
to overflow, knowing not wherefrom these multitudes have
emerged and whereto they are heading.
