"عَن ابنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا فِى الحِجْرِ جَالسٌ إِذْ أَتَانِى رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَنِى عَنْ {الْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا} فَقُلتُ: الخَيْلُ حِينَ تُغِيرُ فِى سَبِيلِ الله ثُمَّ تَأْوِى إلَى اللَّيْلِ فيصْنعُونَ طَعَامَهُمْ وَيُورُونَ نَارَهُمْ، فَانْفَتَلَ عَنِّى فَذَهَبَ إِلَى عَلِىِّ بنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ تَحْتَ سِقَايَةِ زَمْزَم فَسَأَلَهُ عَن العَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا، فَقَالَ (): سَألتُ عَنْهَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: هِىَ الخَيْلُ تُغِيرُ فِى سَبِيلِ الله، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَادْعُهُ لِى، فَلَمَّا وَقَفْتُ عَلَى رَأسِهِ قَالَ ( ): وَالله إنْ كَانَتْ أَوَّلُ غَزْوَةٍ في الإِسْلَامِ لَبَدْرًا وَما كَانَ مَعْنَا إِلّا فَرَسَانِ: فَرسٌ للزُّبَيْرِ وَفَرَسٌ لِلْمقدادِ بنِ الأَسْودِ فَكَيْفَ تَكُونُ العَادِيَاتُ ضَبْحًا؟ إِنَّمَا العَادياتُ ضَبْحًا مِنْ عَرَفَةَ إِلَى المُزدَلِفَةِ ( )، وَمِن المُزْدَلِفَةِ إلَى مِنًى وَأَوْرَوا النِّيرَان ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الغَدِ المُغَيَرَاتُ صُبْحًا مِن المُزْدَلِفَةِ إَلَى مِنًى فَذَلِكَ جَمْع، وَأَمَّاَ قَوْلُهُ {فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا} فَهُوَ نَقْعُ الأَرْضِ حينَ تَطَأُوهُ بِأَخْفَافِهَا وَحَوَافِرهَا، قَالَ ابنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَنَزَعْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِى وَرَجَعْتُ إلَى الَّذِى قَالَ عَلِىٌّ".

"From Ibn 'Abbas, who said: While I was sitting in al-Hijr, a man came to me and asked me about {By the racers, panting}. I said: They are the horses that charge in the cause of Allah, then return to the night, prepare their food, and kindle their fire. He turned away from me and went to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was sitting beneath the water spout of Zamzam, and asked him about {By the racers, panting}. 'Ali said: I asked Ibn 'Abbas about it and he said: They are the horses that charge in the cause of Allah. He said: Go and call him for me. When I stood before him, he said: By Allah, the first military expedition in Islam was Badr, and with us were only two horses: a horse for az-Zubayr and a horse for al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad. So how can {the racers, panting} be horses? Rather, {the racers, panting} refers to the pilgrims running from 'Arafat to Muzdalifah, and from Muzdalifah to Mina, and {kindling the sparks} refers to them kindling fires. Then on the next day {the chargers at dawn} refers to the movement from Muzdalifah to Mina, and that is the gathering. As for His words {and raise dust thereby}, it is the dust of the ground when they trample it with their hooves. Ibn 'Abbas said: I retracted my statement and returned to what 'Ali had said."
