Narrated Salim:

Ibn `Umar used to do Rami of the Jamrat-ud-Dunya (the Jamra near to the Khaif mosque) with seven small stones and used to recite Takbir on throwing every pebble. He then would go ahead till he reached the level ground where he would stand facing the Qibla for a long time to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands (while invoking). Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta (middle Jamra) and then he would go to the left towards the middle ground, where he would stand facing the Qibla. He would remain standing there for a long period to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands, and would stand there for a long period. Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle of the valley, but he would not stay by it, and then he would leave and say, "I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) doing like this."

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْمِي الْجَمْرَةَ الدُّنْيَا بِسَبْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ، يُكَبِّرُ عَلَى إِثْرِ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ حَتَّى يُسْهِلَ فَيَقُومَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيَقُومُ طَوِيلاً، وَيَدْعُو وَيَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يَرْمِي الْوُسْطَى، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ فَيَسْتَهِلُ وَيَقُومُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيَقُومُ طَوِيلاً وَيَدْعُو وَيَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ، وَيَقُومُ طَوِيلاً، ثُمَّ يَرْمِي جَمْرَةَ ذَاتِ الْعَقَبَةِ مِنْ بَطْنِ الْوَادِي، وَلاَ يَقِفُ عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَقُولُ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَفْعَلُهُ‏.‏

Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained its rites by his statements and actions. His honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us just as they learned them directly from the Prophet ﷺ. In this hadeeth, Saalim ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar reports that his father (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pelt the closest pillars on the days of Tashreeq using seven pebbles. In Arabic, this Jamrah is known as al-Dunyaa (closest) because it happens to be the closest of all the Jamarat to Minaa and the farthest from Makkah, and it is also known as as-Sughraa (the smallest). It is the first one after Masjid al-Khayf at Minaa. He explained that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pronounce Takbeer after pelting each pebble. After, he would go to a distance from it until he used to halt at the plain surface of the belly of the valley so as to be safe from the flying pebbles that are used to pelt, he would stand facing the Qiblah and his back facing the Jamrah. He would stand up for a long time supplicating to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, lifting his hands up in supplication. Then, he would pelt the middle Jamrah. Then, he would head towards its north and would descend to the plain surface of the belly of the valley, meaning: the middle of it as he did for the first Jamrah. He would stand for a long time, facing towards the Qiblah, at a place where pelting does not reach him, supplicating to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, lifting his hands up. After this, he would pelt Jamarah al-‘Aqabah away from the belly of the valley. It is also known as al-al-Jamarah al-Kubraa. It is situated at the last part of Minaa in the direction of Makkah. It is not inside [the boundaries of] Minaa. Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would leave after pelting it and would not stand up to supplicate there unlike what he did at the two former Jamaraat. Then, he informed that he previously saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺdoing exactly what he did. This hadeeth demonstrates the legality of pronouncing Takbeer during pelting the pebbles. It also shows the permissibility of lifting the hands in prayer after pelting the two pillars, the small and the middle ones..
