ninth Żul-Hajj is referred to as ‘يَوۡمِ عَرَفَه’, i.e. the day of recognition. After he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام had the same dream once again on tenth Żul-Hajj, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام made a firm intention of sacrificing his son, which is why tenth Żul-Hajj is called ‘يَوۡمُ النَّحۡر’, i.e. the day of slaughter. (Tafsīr Kabīr, vol. 9, pp. 346)
Futile attempt of satan to prevent Sayyiduna Ibrahim علیہ السلام from sacrificing his son
Acting upon the order of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام took his beloved son with him who was 7 (or 13 years of age or a little over it) at that time.

Have you assumed that Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) has ordered you to do so?’ Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام replied, ‘If Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has ordered me to do it, then I will obey Him.’ Disappointed, satan then came to the mother of Sayyidunā Ismā’īl عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام and asked, ‘Where has Ibrāĥīm taken your son to?’ Sayyidatunā Ĥājiraĥ رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا replied, ‘He has gone to do a piece of work.’ Satan said, ‘He has taken your son to slaughter him.’ She رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا asked, ‘Have you ever seen a
