The Lapidation of the <i>jamras</i> - Section 1

Jabir said he saw the Prophet (ﷺ) throwing pebbles on the day of sacrifice while on his riding-beast and saying, “Learn your rites, for I do not know whether I am likely to perform the pilgrimage after this occasion.” Muslim transmitted it.

عَن جَابر قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْمِي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ وَيَقُولُ: «لِتَأْخُذُوا مَنَاسِكَكُمْ فَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلِّي لَا أَحُجُّ بعد حجتي هَذِه» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

He said that he saw God’s messenger throwing small pebbles at the <i>jamra</i>. Muslim transmitted it.

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَمَى الْجَمْرَةَ بِمِثْلِ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

He said that God's messenger threw pebbles at the <i>jamra</i> on the day of sacrifice in the forenoon, and next when the sun had passed the meridian. Bukhari and Muslim.

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: رَمَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجَمْرَةَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ضُحًى وَأَمَّا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ

‘Abdallah b. Mas'ud came to the largest <i>jamra</i> and with the House on his left and Mina on his right he threw seven pebbles saying “God is most great” each time. Then he said, “Thus did he to whom <i>sura al-Baqara</i> was sent down throw.” Bukhari and Muslim.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ: أَنَّهُ انْتَهَى إِلَى الْجَمْرَةِ الْكُبْرَى فَجَعَلَ الْبَيْتَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَمِنًى عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَرَمَى بِسَبْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ يُكَبِّرُ مَعَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَكَذَا رَمَى الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ

Jabir reported God’s messenger as saying, “Cleaning oneself with stones (<i>Isijmar</i> is the word used, and <i>Taj al-Arus</i> suggests that here its meaning is throwing pebbles ; but as <i>ramy al-jimar</i> occurs in the next phrase, it seems better to translate it as above to avoid saying the same things twice. Cf. p. 74, lines 9 f.) is with an odd number, throwing pebbles at the <i>jamras</i> is with an odd number, running between as-Safa and al-Marwa is with an odd number, and the circumambulation is with an odd number. When one of you cleans himself with stones he should do so with an odd number.” Muslim transmitted it.

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الِاسْتِجْمَارُ تَوٌّ وَرَمْيُ الْجِمَارِ توٌّ وَالسَّعْيُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ تَوٌّ وَالطَّوَافُ تَوٌّ وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجْمِرْ بِتَوٍّ» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Qudama b. ‘Abdallah b. ‘Ammar said he saw the Prophet (ﷺ) throwing pebbles at the <i>jamra</i> on the day of sacrifice while on a reddish she-camel, and there was no striking, or driving, or telling people to get out of the way. Shafi'i, Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it.

عَنْ قُدَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْمِي الْجَمْرَةَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ صَهْبَاءَ لَيْسَ ضَرْبٌ وَلَا طَرْدٌ وَلَيْسَ قِيلُ: إِلَيْكَ إِليك. رَوَاهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ

'A’isha reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying, "Throwing pebbles at the <i>jamras</i> and running between as-Safa and al-Marwa were appointed only for the remembrance of God.” Tirmidhi and Darimi transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a hasan sahih tradition.

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ رَمْيُ الْجِمَارِ وَالسَّعْيُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ لِإِقَامَةِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

She said they asked God’s messenger whether they should not put up a building for him to shade him in Mina, but he replied, "No; Mina is a resting-place for the camels of those who get there first.” Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it.

وَعَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ألَا نَبْنِي لَكَ بِنَاءً يُظِلُّكَ بِمِنًى؟ قَالَ: «لَا مِنًى مُنَاخُ مَنْ سَبَقَ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَه والدارمي

Nafi' said that Ibn ‘Umar used to stand for a long time at the first two <i>jamras</i>, saying "God is most great; glory be to God ; praise be to God ;” and making supplication to Him, but did not stand at the <i>jamra</i> of the ‘Aqaba. Malik transmitted it.

عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقِفُ عِنْدَ الْجَمْرَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ وُقُوفًا طَوِيلًا يُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ وَيُسَبِّحُهُ وَيَحْمَدُهُ وَيَدْعُو اللَّهَ وَلَا يَقِفُ عنْدَ جمرَةِ العقبةِ. رَوَاهُ مَالك
