[ The preference for fasting on the day of Arafat other than Arafah ]
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)
Since the oneness of God is for knowledge and the oneness of God Almighty in Himself, we prefer fasting on the day of Arafah over breaking the fast in a non-Arafah. If we were in Arafat and we knew that fasting is for God and not for us, then we preferred breaking his fast over his fasting for the witnesses of Arafat. Understand, fasting is for God in reality and the oneness is for him, so the occasion occurred between fasting and the day of Arafat. For each person has no equal, so his fasting is done for what comes after him, and that is not for anyone else. It is the right of every one, and it is done for what came before it because it is temporal, so it adheres to the prior and the remote, and what is meant is that his action is general, like the attribute of the right to create possible things in general, and it is not specific to what is possible without what is possible, even if the matter is.
