Hadith text

Narrated Al-A`mash:I heard Al-Hajjaj saying on the pulpit, "The Sura in which Al-Baqara (the cow) is mentioned and the Sura in which the family of `Imran is mentioned and the Sura in which the women (An-Nisa) is mentioned." I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said, `Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid told me, 'I was with Ibn Mas`ud, when he did the Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba. He went down the middle of the valley, and when he came near the tree (which was near the Jamra) he stood opposite to it and threw seven small pebbles and said: 'Allahu-Akbar' on throwing every pebble.' Then he said, 'By Him, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, here (at this place) stood the one on whom Surat-al-Baqra was revealed (i.e. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)

Al-A'mash bataate hain: Maine Al-Hajjaj ko mimbar par kehte suna: "Woh Surah jisme Al-Baqara (gaay) ka zikar hai, aur woh Surah jisme Aal-e-Imran ka zikar hai, aur woh Surah jisme aurton (An-Nisa) ka zikar hai." Maine yeh Ibrahim ko bataya, aur unhone kaha: Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid ne mujhe bataya: "Main Ibn Mas'ud ke saath tha jab unhone Jamrat-ul-Aqaba ki Rami ki. Woh wadi ke beech mein gaye, aur jab woh us darakht ke qareeb aaye (jo Jamra ke qareeb tha), woh uske saamne khade ho gaye aur saat chhoṭe kankar maare, aur har kanker maarte waqt 'Allahu-Akbar' kaha." Phir unhone kaha: "Us zaat ki qasam jiske siwa koi mabood nahi, yahan (is jagah) woh shaks khade the jinpar Surah Al-Baqarah nazil hui."
