It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, he proceeded with calmness, but in the valley of Muhassir he quickened the pace of his mount. He showed them pebbles like date stones and instructed them to walk with calmness and dignity, and said: My Ummah should learn the rites of Hajj, for it may be that I will not meet them after this year.
