‘Abdallah b. Mas'ud came to the largest jamra and with the House on his left and Mina on his right he threw seven pebbles saying “God is most great” each time. Then he said, “Thus did he to whom sura al-Baqara was sent down throw.”
Jabir said he saw the Prophet throwing pebbles on the day of sacrifice while on his riding-beast and saying, “Learn your rites, for I do not know whether I am likely to perform the pilgrimage after this occasion.”
