Have you not heard what the Messenger of Allah -saww said during his farewell pilgrimage during his stay in ‘Arafat, and it was about sunset. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘O Bilal , ask people to remain silent.’ When people became silent the Messenger of Allah -saww said, ‘Your Lord has granted you favours on this day. He -azwj has granted forgiveness to the individuals of good deeds, and has made the ones of good deed to intercede for the ones of evil deeds.
You can leave now with your sins forgiven.’ Narrators other than abu Hamzah al-Thumaliy have mentioned that the Imam additionally said, ‘Except those who are of individuals of al-Tabi’at (acts that require investigation).’ Allah is just. He brings to justice the stronger ones who wrong the weaker ones.
