Raising the hands when stoning the jamrah

Mujahid and Sa'id bin Jubayr said: When Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) performed the stoning, we saw him raise his hands until they were level with his head, and the whiteness of his armpits could be seen; and his pebbles were the size of a plump hazelnut.

Mujahid said: When one stones the Jamrah, he should raise his hands so high that the whiteness of his armpits becomes visible.

It is narrated from Nafi' that when Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) performed the stoning, he went forward in front of the Jamrah, supplicated to Allah and raised his hands, and we raised our hands with him. He did not lower his hands until we grew weary and lowered our hands, while he remained as he was.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The hands are to be raised when stoning the Jamarat.

The companions of Abdullah used to say: The hands are to be raised when stoning the two Jamrahs.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas and Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them all) said: The hands are to be raised when stoning the Jamrah.

And (through another chain) it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both); they (Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar) both said: The hands are to be raised at the Jamarat.
