A‘mash says: I heard Hajjaj bin Yusuf saying: Do not say“Surah al-Baqarah”, Surah so-and-so. A‘mash says: I mentioned this to Ibrahim al-Nakha‘i, so he informed me: ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid told me this, that once he was walking with Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) in the lower part of the valley. When they came to the Jamrah, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah placed it on his right side and then came opposite to it, then he threw pebbles at it. I said to him: O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! People throw pebbles from above. He replied: By the One besides whom there is no deity, I saw the one upon whom Surah al-Baqarah was revealed throwing pebbles from here.
