119. THE PROPHET’S STONING OF THE JAMRAT AL- ‘AQABAH ALONE ON THE DAY OF NAHR
It has been stated earlier in the Hadith of Usamah and Fadhl and others from among the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, that Allah’s Messenger, (PBUH), continued uttering the Talbiyah until he stoned the Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah.
Abu Al-‘Aliyah narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: Fadhl narrated to me that Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), said to him on the morning of the Day of Nahr: “Come and pick pebbles for me.” I fetched him pebbles. He started sorting them out in his fingers saying: “Throw ones like these! Throw ones like these!” He then said: “Keep away from extremism in religion, for that which destroyed those who came before you was extremism in religion.” It is related by Al- Baihaqi.
Al-Bukhari related that Jabir narrated that the Prophet, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), stoned on the Day of Nahr at the time of Dhuha and afterward, after Zawal. It is recorded in the Saheehain on the authority of ‘Abdur Rahman Ibn Yazeed, who narrated that ‘Abdullah stoned from the middle of the valley so I said: “O Abu ‘Abdur Rahman,the people are stoning from its top.” He said: “I swear by Him besides Whom none deserves to be worshipped, it is at this spot where Soorah Al-Baqarah was revealed to him.” The wording is that of Al-Bukhari.
It is reported that ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas‘ood came to the Jamrah, and stood such that the House was toward his left and Mina on his right and he stoned seven times and said: “This is the exact manner the one upon whom Soorah AlBaqarah was sent had acted.”
It is also related that ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas‘ood also stoned the Jamrah from the middle of the valley with seven pebbles saying Allahu Akbar at each (throw of the) stone and he said: “By Him besides Whom none deserves to be worshipped, it is from here that the one upon whom Soorah Al-Baqarah was revealed stood (to throw the pebbles).”
On the authority of Jabir Ibn ‘Abdullah who said: “I saw Allah’s Messenger stoning the Jamrah with seven small pebbles.”Ibn ‘Abbas narrated that the Prophet stoned the Jamrat Al- ‘Aqabah on the day of Nahr mount.
Umm Jundub Al-Azdiyyah narrated: I saw Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), stoning the Jamrahs from the middle of the valley mounted and saying Allahu Akbar at each throw of the pebble while a man was behind shielding him. Upon asking about the identity of the man, I was told it was Al-Fadhl Ibn ‘Abbas and when the people crowded (one another)he said: “O people, do not kill one another and whenever you are going to stone, do it with small pebbles.”
Jabir Ibn ‘Abdullah narrated: I saw Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), stoning the Jamrah mounted on his camel on the Day of Nahr and saying: “Learn your rites of Hajj from me perhaps I may not perform another Hajj after this.”
Qudamah Ibn ‘Abdullah Al-Kilabi reported that he saw Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), stoning the Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah from the middle of the valley on the Day of Nahr mounted on a reddish camel neither beating nor shoving nor was he telling people away from him.
Nafi’ narrated: Ibn ‘Umar used to stone the Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah mounted on a riding animal on the Day of Nahr but he did not come to the remaining ones except on foot and he claimed that the Prophet also used not to come (to the remaining Jamrahs) except on foot both to and fro.
Jabir narrated: “Then the Prophet went to the slaughter place and he slaughtered sixty-three animals with his own hands and then gave ‘Ali (the slaughter instrument) to slaughter the remainder and made him partake in his Hady. He then commanded that a piece of flesh from each sacrificial animal should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked, both of them (the Prophet and ‘Ali) took some meat out of it and drank from its broth.” We shall discuss this Hadith.
‘Abdur Rahman Ibn Mu’adh At-Taimi who said: “Allah’sMessenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), addressed us while we were at Mina and our ears were open in such a way that we could hear what he was saying.”
Jabir Ibn ‘Abdullah narrated that Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), made ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib share in the Hady and the total number of those sacrificial animals brought by ‘Ali from Yemen and of those brought by the Prophet was one hundred camels. Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), slaughtered sixty-three with his own noble hands.
Ibn Hibban and others said: That coincides with his lifespan: sixty-three years. Ibn ‘Abbas narrated: Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), slaughtered 100 animals during the Hajj, sixty of them with his own hands and he ordered that the remainder be slaughtered as well. He took a piece of flesh from each animal sacrificed and put them in a pot, and when it was cooked, he took some meat out of it and drank from its broth. He added: He slaughtered seventy camels on the day of Hudaibiyah among which was the camel of Abu Jahl and when it was turned back from the House, it pinned as it would over her child.
It is established in the Saheehain that ‘Ali said: Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), commanded me to take charge of his Burden and to give away their meat, hide and other material as charity and that I should not give the butcher anything out of it. He added: “We shall pay him from our resources.”
Ibn ‘Abbas narrated: Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), stoned the Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah, then he slaughtered and then he shaved his head. Ibn Hazm has claimed that he slaughtered a cow on behalf of his wife and he slaughtered on that day, two rams with black stripes.
