They differed regarding its duration. Our Imam, may Allah be pleased with him, was of the view that it is from the dawn prayer on the day of Arafah until the afternoon prayer (Asr) of the last of the days of Tashriq. This is the view of Umar, Ali, Ibn Abbas, and Ibn Masud, may Allah be pleased with them. Al-Thawri, Ibn Uyaynah, Abu Yusuf, Muhammad, Abu Thawr, and al-Shafi'i in one of his views also held this. It is narrated from Ibn Masud that he would perform the takbir from the morning of Arafah until the afternoon prayer (Asr) of the day of Sacrifice (1). Alqamah, al-Nakha'i, and Abu Hanifah also held this view, based on His saying: "And mention the name of Allah during the known days" (2), which are the ten days, and we have reached consensus that he does not perform the takbir before the day of Arafah, so it is appropriate that he performs the takbir on the day of Arafah and the day of Sacrifice. It is narrated from Ibn Umar (3) and Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz that the takbir is from the noon prayer (Zuhr) on the day of Sacrifice until the morning prayer of the last of the days of Tashriq. Malik and al-Shafi'i, in the most famous report from him, held this view because the people are followers of the pilgrims, and the pilgrims cease the talbiyah upon the first pebble, and they perform the takbir with the stoning, and they only stone on the day of Sacrifice, so the first prayer after that is Zuhr, and the last prayer they perform at Mina is the dawn prayer on the third day of the days of Tashriq. Our evidence is what Jabir narrated, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed the dawn prayer on the day of Arafah, then turned to us and said: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar." And he extended the takbir until the afternoon prayer (Asr) of the last of the days of Tashriq. Al-Daraqutni recorded it from several chains (4), and in some of them: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, wallahu Akbar, wa lillahi al-hamd" (5). This is also because it is the consensus of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them; it was narrated from Umar, Ali, Ibn Abbas, and Ibn Masud. Sa'id narrated it from Umar, Ali, and Ibn Abbas, and he narrated with his chain from Umayr (6).
