Hadith 1746

وَقَالَ جَابِرٌ رَمَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ضُحًى ، وَرَمَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ .
And Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) threw the pebbles on the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah at the time of forenoon, and on the subsequent days after the sun had declined.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ ، عَنْ وَبَرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، " مَتَى أَرْمِي الْجِمَارَ ؟ , قَالَ : إِذَا رَمَى إِمَامُكَ فَارْمِهْ ، فَأَعَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نَتَحَيَّنُ ، فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ رَمَيْنَا " .
Narrated Wabra: I asked Ibn `Umar, "When should I do the Rami of the Jimar?" He replied, "When your leader does that." I asked him again the same question. He replied, "We used to wait till the sun declined and then we would do the Rami (i.e. on the 11th and 12th of Dhul-Hijja)."

Hadith Commentary:
The best time for throwing the pebbles (rami) is that one should throw them on the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr) during the forenoon (duha), and it is permissible after half the night of the tenth (night preceding the tenth day), and the last time for it on the tenth is until sunset. On the eleventh or twelfth, it is best to throw after the sun has passed its zenith (zawal) but before the noon (zuhr) prayer. The pebbles should not be less than seven; this is the opinion of the majority of scholars:

And in it is evidence that the Sunnah is to throw the jamarat on days other than the Day of Sacrifice after the sun has passed its zenith, and this is the view of the majority.
(Fath al-Bari)

That is, in this hadith there is evidence that after the tenth, the Sunnah is to perform rami al-jamarat after zawal, and this is the fatwa of the majority.

When the Imam throws, you should also throw; this instruction was given so that no harm would come due to opposition to the rulers of the time. If the rulers are tyrannical, then in such matters one is compelled to obey them, just as it is said regarding prayer that if a tyrannical leader prays late, then perform the prayer with him and consider it as a voluntary (nafl) prayer. In the era of Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu, there was a tyrant like Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, and for this reason he radi Allahu anhu said this. Obedience to righteous and just rulers in good deeds is, in any case, obligatory and a cause of reward, and this matter is not exclusive to rulers; rather, in a righteous matter, obedience to even the lowest person is necessary.

And if he is an Abyssinian slave—this is the very meaning.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
All three jamarat are pelted with pebbles; however, on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, only Jamrat al-‘Aqabah is pelted, which is located at the border of Mina towards Makkah.
After this, on the 11th, 12th, and 13th dates, all three jamarat must be pelted with pebbles.
First, Jamrat al-Ula (the first jamrah), which is encountered first when going from Mina to Makkah; then Jamrat al-Wusta (the middle jamrah), which comes after that and before Jamrat al-‘Aqabah; and then Jamrat al-‘Aqabah, which is the last one.
This last jamrah possesses four distinguishing characteristics compared to the other jamarat:
٭ It is pelted on the 10th date.
٭ After pelting, one should not stand near it.
٭ On the 10th date, it should be pelted at the time of forenoon (duha).
٭ It is pelted from the lower part of the valley.
(2)
Abdullah ibn ‘Umar radi Allahu anhu sensed the risk that perhaps Wabra ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman might oppose his leader, so he cautioned him that when your leader performs the pelting (rami), you should also perform the pelting at that time, so that no harm comes from opposing the leader.
In one narration, it is mentioned that he said:
If my leader delays the pelting, what should I do? Abdullah ibn ‘Umar radi Allahu anhu narrated the hadith that we used to wait for the sun to decline (zawal) before performing the pelting.
This means that during the days of Tashreeq, the time for pelting (rami) is after the sun has declined (zawal).
