رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ يُتِمُّونَ اَلصَّلاَةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَقَالَ «وَيْلَهُمْ أَوْ وَيْحَهُمْ وَ أَيُّ سَفَرٍ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ لاَ يُتَمُّ».

Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "The people of Mecca pray the full (four-unit) prayer at Arafat." Imam (a.s) said: "Woe to them, or alas for them! What journey is more arduous than this? It should not be performed in full (but shortened to two units)."
