Hadith 1967

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ثَوْرٍ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، وَوَهْبُ بْنُ بَيَانٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ ، قَالَتْ : " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ جَمْرَةِ الْعَقَبَةِ رَاكِبًا ، وَرَأَيْتُ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ حَجَرًا فَرَمَى وَرَمَى النَّاسُ " .
Sulaiman bin Amr bin Ahwas reported on the authority of his mother: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ near the Jamrat al-Aqabah (the third or last pillar) riding (on a camel) and I saw a pebble between his fingers. He threw the pebbles and the people also threw (stones at the Jamrah).

1؎ : From these ahadith it is understood that the stoning of the Jamarat (rami al-jamarat) is permissible while mounted (on a ride), but in the present circumstances, the rites of Hajj, sacrifice (qurbani), and the stoning of the Jamarat, etc., should be performed in accordance with the instructions of the Hajj authorities.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1967. Commentary: The translation of the word "hijar" as "pebbles" is correct based on other narrations. Also, in these very narrations, the phrase «بين اصابعه »—that is, "between the fingers"—is also present. Otherwise, in the commonly understood sense, it is not permissible to throw stones.
