Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent ahead some boys from Banu Abdul Muttalib on donkeys on the night of al-Muzdalifah. He began to pat our thighs (out of love) and said: O young! boys do not throw pebbles at the jamrah till the sun rises. Abu Dawud said: The Arabic word al-lath means to strike softly.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send ahead the weak members of his family in darkness (to Mina), and command them not to throw pebbles at jamrahs until the sun rose.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ sent Umm Salamah on the night before the day of sacrifice and she threw pebbles at the jamrah before dawn. She hastened (to Makkah) and performed the circumambulation. That day was the one the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent with her.

Ata said: A reporter reported to me about Asma that she threw pebbles at the jamrah at night. I said: We threw pebbles (at the jamrah) at night. She said: We used to do so in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ hastened from al-Muzdalifah with a quite demeanour and ordered them (the people) to throw small pebbles and he hastened in the valley (wadi) of Muhassir.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ halted on the day of sacrifice between the jamrahs (pillars at Mina) during hajj which he performed. He asked: Which is this day? They replied: This is the day of sacrifice. He said: This is the day of greater hajj.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: Abu Bakr sent me among those who proclaim at Mina that no polytheist should perform Hajj after this year and no naked person should go round the House (the Kabah), and that the day of greater Hajj is the day of sacrifice, and the greater Hajj is the Hajj.

Narrated Abu Bakrah: The Prophet ﷺ gave a sermon during his hajj and said: Time has completed a cycle and assumed the form of the day when Allah created the heavens and the earth. The year contains twelve months of which four are sacred, three of them consecutive, viz. Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram and also Rajab of Mudar which comes between Jumadah and Sha'ban.

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Abu Bakrah through a different chain of narrators. Abu Dawud said: Ibn 'Awn has mentioned his (Abu Bakrah's) name and narrated this tradition: From Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah on the authority of Abu Bakrah.

Narrated Abdur Rahman Ya'mar ad-Dayli: I came to the Holy Prophet ﷺ when he was in Arafat. Some people or a group of people came from Najd. They commanded someone (to ask the Prophet about hajj). So he called the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saying: How is the hajj done? He (the Prophet) ordered a man (to reply). He shouted loudly: The hajj, the hajj is on the day of Arafah. If anyone comes over there before the dawn prayer on the night of al-Muzdalifah, his hajj will be complete. The period of halting at Mina is three days. Then whoever hastens (his departure) by two days, it is no sin for him, and whoever delays it there is no sin for him. The narrator said: He (the Prophet) then put a man behind him on the camel. He began to proclaim this loudly. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Mahran from Sufyan in a similar way. This version adds: The Hajj, the Hajj, twice. The version narrated by Yaya bin Saeed al-Qattan has the words: The Hajj only once.
