English meaning

The Prophet rode his camel, Al-Qaswa, until he reached the sacred area (Al-Mash aril Haraam). Then he faced the Qiblah and invoked Allah, and repeatedly said the words: Allaahu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great), Allaahu Ahad (Allah is One) and Laa ilaaha illallaah (There is none worthy of worship but Allah). He remained stationary until the sky became yellow with the dawn, and then pressed on before sunrise.

Explanation (Tafseer)

At the sacred place in Muzdalifah, the account describes facing the qiblah and calling upon Allah while repeating His greatness, oneness, and exclusive right to worship. The remembrance continues as dawn brightens, after which the journey resumes before sunrise. The sequence joins standing in worship with onward movement.
