1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that you can take the pebbles for al-Jamar and go to al- Jamarah al-Quswa’ which is near al-‘ Aqabah. Throw the pebbles on it from its front side and not from above, and when throwing pebbles say, ‘O Allah, these are my pebbles, count them for me and raise them in my deeds.’ Then commence throwing and with each pebble say, ‘Takbir (Allah is great beyond description). O Allah, keep away Satan from me. O Allah, it is to verify Your book and the Sunnah (tradition) of Your Holy Prophet. O Allah, make it a virtuous al-Hajj, an acceptable deed, an appreciated effort, and forgiven sins.’ Keep a distance of ten yards between yourself and al-Jamarah (the pillar) or fifteen yards. When you return from al-Jamarah say, ‘O Allah, I depend on You, take You as my attorney; You are the best Lord, the best Guardian and the best helper.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is preferable to throw the pebbles with a valid Wudu’.’” NOTE: When throwing pebbles one should say the prayers mentioned above.
