The open plain between Arafat and Mina where pilgrims spend the night under the sky.

Pilgrims come here after sunset on the Day of Arafah. The Quran commands remembering Allah 'at al-Mash'ar al-Haram' (2:198), and in his Farewell Hajj the Prophet ﷺ prayed Maghrib and Isha here together and rested until dawn. Pilgrims gather their pebbles for the stoning here.
