Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from Ali ibn Mahziyar from who has said the following: “I once saw abu Ja‘far (a.s.), walking after the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) to throw pebbles on al-Jamar, then return riding and I saw him walking in front of Masjid in Mina’.

He has said that narrated to me Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Nawfaliy from al-Hassan ibn Salih from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), disembarked from his stumper a little higher than the Masjid until he moved to throw pebbles on al-Jamar from where Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), would throw pebbles on al-Jamar. I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause.

Why did you disembark from your stumper at this place?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This is the place from where Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), threw pebbles on al-Jamar and so also did banu Hashim and I like to walk in their lodging (descending) places.’”
