Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Sh<span class="iTxt">azaan</span>, from Safwan, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said regarding a man who took twenty one pebbles (to hit each of the three <span class="iTxt">Jamarah</span> with 7 pebbles), and he pelted with these, but one remained, and he did not know from which of these was he deficient from’. He^asws said: ‘So let him return, and let him pelt each (<span class="iTxt">Jamarah</span>) with one pebble’. (I said), ‘Supposing a pebble falls from a man, and he does not know which of these it was?’ He^asws said: ‘He should take a pebble from under his feet, and he should pelt with it’. He^asws said: ‘And if he pelts with a pebble, and it falls in a carriage, so he should repeat in its place, and if it were to hit a person, or a camel, then it falls upon the <span class="iTxt">Jamarah</span>, it would suffice you’. And he^asws said regarding a man who pelts the <span class="iTxt">Jamarah</span>, so he pelts the first one with four, and the other two with seven, seven: ‘He should return and pelt the first one with three, and he would have been freed. And if he had pelted the first one with three, and the pelted the other two with seven, seven, so he should return, and let him pelt all of them with seven, seven. And if he had pelted the middle one with three, then pelted the other one, so let him pelt the middle one with seven. And if he had pelted the middle one with four, he should return and he would pelt it with three’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘The man reverses (the order) in pelting the <span class="iTxt">Jamarah</span>, so he begins with Al-Aqabah <span class="iTxt">Jamarah</span>, then the middle, then the great one’. He^asws said: ‘he should repeat, and he would pelt the middle, then he would pelt Al-Aqabah, and even if it is the next morning’.
