The Days of the Rites of Hajj are Seven
Al-’Imām Muhyiddīn Ibn Sharaf An-Nawawī (d. 676H) said:
The Days of the Rites of Hajj are Seven. The first of these days begins after the sun passes its zenith on the 7th of Dhū al-Ḥijjah, and the last of these days ends after the sun passes its zenith on the 13th of Dhū al-Ḥijjah, which is the last of the Days of at-Tashrīq.
- The 7th day has no specific name.
- The 8th day is called Yawm at-Tarwiyah [the Day of Watering], as mentioned previously.
- The 9th day is Yawm ‘Arafah [the Day of ‘Arafah].
- The 10th day is Yawm an-Naḥr [the Day of Sacrifice].
- The 11th day is Yawm al-Qarr [the Day of Resting] – read with fatḥ on the qāf and shaddah on the rā’ – it is called so because they settled in Minā on this day, or they stay in peace and tranquility.
- The 12th day is (called) Yawm an-Nafr al-Awwal [the First Day of Departure], and the 13th day is Yawm an-Nafr ath-Thānī [the Second Day of Departure].
As for the statement of al-Ṣaymarī, al-Māwardī, and the author of al-Bayān: that people differed regarding the naming of the 8th day as Yawm at-Tarwiyah. It was said because they stock up water, as we mentioned. It was also said: because Ādam met Ḥawwā’ on that day. And it was said that because Jibrīl showed Ibrāhīm the rites of Hajj on that day. This is a corrupt speech and a strange narration. The correct view is what we stated earlier.

قال الإمام محي الدين بن شرف النووي (رحمه الله):ـ
فرع: أيام المناسك سبعة أولها: بعد الزوال السابع من ذي الحجة، وآخرها بعد الزوال الثالث عشر منه وهو آخر أيام التشريق، فالسابع لا يعرف له اسم مخصوص، والثامن يسمى يوم التروية كما سبق، والتاسع يوم عرفة، والعاشر يوم النحر، والحادي عشر يوم القر – بفتح القاف وتشديد الراء – سمي بذلك لأنهم يقرون فيه بمنى أو يقيمون مطمئنين، والثاني عشر يوم النفر الأول، والثالث عشر يوم النفر الثاني.
وأما قول الصيمري والماوردي وصاحب «البيان»: إن الناس اختلفوا في تسمية الثامن يوم التروية، فقيل لأنهم يتروون الماء كما قدمناه، وقيل لأن آدم رأى فيه حواء، وقيل لأن جبريل أرى فيه إبراهيم المناسك فكلام فاسد ونقل عجيب، والصواب ما قدمناه.ـ
