Imam Zaynul Abidin (as) says about this great day: “O God, this is the day of Arafah a day which you have made noble, given honor and magnified within it. You have spread your mercy, showed kindness through your pardon, made plentiful your giving and by it you have been gracious towards your servants.” Sahifa as-Sajjadiyyah, Du’a no 47).
