It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made some of us young boys from Banu Abd al-Muttalib ride on our donkeys from Muzdalifah and sent us ahead, and while striking our legs with his hand, he said: "Dear children! Do not stone Jamrat al-Aqabah before sunrise." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Now I do not think that any sensible person would stone before sunrise.
