sahih

Ibn 'Abbas narrated from al-Fadl b. Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) who sat behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he (the Prophet) said to the people on the evening of 'Arafa and on the morning to the gathering of people (at Muzdalifa) as they were pushing on to proceed slowly. And he himself drove his she-camel with restraint until he entered Muhassir (it is a place in Mina), and further told them to take up pebbles which were to be thrown at Jamra. And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the Jamra.

وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي، الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَكَانَ، رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي عَشِيَّةِ عَرَفَةَ وَغَدَاةِ جَمْعٍ لِلنَّاسِ حِينَ دَفَعُوا ‏"‏ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَهْوَ كَافٌّ نَاقَتَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ مُحَسِّرًا - وَهُوَ مِنْ مِنًى - قَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَصَى الْخَذْفِ الَّذِي يُرْمَى بِهِ الْجَمْرَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ لَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُلَبِّي حَتَّى رَمَى الْجَمْرَةَ .

Tranquility and solemnity are among the commendable traits encouraged by the Shariah, especially in worship and such situations that entail displaying them more than any other time, like Hajj, given that there are plenty of people and crowdedness therein, which requires moderateness in walking to avoid hurting others. In this Hadīth, Al-Fadl ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) mentions that he was riding behind the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on his mount during the season of Hajj at the end of the day of ‘Arafah, which is the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, at the time of heading to Muzdalifah, and "on the evening of ‘Arafah"; it is said: It occurs after sunset, for this is the time of the Imām's departure and the time of breaking the fast. It is also said: It is the time of standing from the afternoon to the dawn of the day of Nahr, for this is a time in which people stand at ‘Arafah and come to it in this manner. And it is said: The evening extends from noon to sunset. ‘Arafah is a name for the well-known area where the pilgrims must stand on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah. Jam 'is Muzdalifah. It is a valley located between the two Mashā‘ir of Mina and 'Arafāt, and the pilgrims stay there after leaving 'Arafāt, and then they perform therein the Maghrib and 'Ishā' prayers, combined and shortened, and they collect from it the pebbles for throwing Jamarāt at Mina. The pilgrims stay there till the morning of the next day, the day of Eid al-Ad'ha, after which they head to Mina. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people: "Adopt tranquility!" This is a Prophetic instruction on etiquette and Sunnah related to departing from 'Arafah and Muzdalifah, which also applies to all crowded situations. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prevented his she-camel from hastening amid crowds and made his mount move slowly. Thus, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) set a practical example of walking with calmness and tranquility and without hastening in crowdedness. He proceeded in this manner until he entered the valley of Muhassir, a small valley passing between and separating Mina and Muzdalifah. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the valley of Muhassir, he instructed the people on the size of the pebbles they should collect; he said: "Get the Khadhf pebbles", and these are small pebbles similar to the seeds of beans. In another version: "As the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand like a person engaging in Khadhf." This is intended for clarification and greater demonstration of the size of the pebbles to be thrown at the Jamarāt and that they should be small, like the Khadhf pebbles. It is not intended that the throwing should be in the manner of Khadhf, which is done with the tips of the forefinger and the thumb. Then, Al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) informed: that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kept proclaiming Talbiyah till he finished the throwing of Jamrat al-‘Aqabah on the day of Nahr, which is the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah. Thereupon, he stopped Talbiyah. This is the largest Jamrah, which lies to the west of Mina in the direction of Makkah. The wording of Talbiyah reads: "Labbayka allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharīka laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa an-ni‘mata laka wal-mulk, la sharīka lak (Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am at Your service; here I am at Your service, You have no partner, here I am at Your service. Indeed, the praise, the favor, and the dominion belong to You. You have no partner)." The time of Talbiyah begins upon the assumption of Ihrām for Hajj or ‘Umrah. The Hadīth demonstrates how the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would care about people and direct them in such situations where needed. It indicates that the pebbles should be small and they should be thrown gently, so as not to hurt people with strong throwing or large pebbles..
