Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ata bin Saib says that I saw Hazrat Abu Ja'far performing Rami before sunrise, and Hazrat Ata, Hazrat Tawus, Hazrat Mujahid, Hazrat Nakha'i, Hazrat Amir, and Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair would perform Rami whenever they came, and they did not consider there to be any harm in it.
