A companion narrates that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, delivered a sermon to the people at Mina, and he himself instructed them to sit in their respective places: "Let the Muhajirun sit here," and with that, he pointed towards the direction of the Qiblah. "Let the Ansar sit here," and with that, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, pointed to the left side of the Qiblah, "and let the rest of the people sit around them." Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, taught the people the rites of Hajj. Allah Almighty opened the ears of the people of Mina to such an extent that they heard the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while sitting in their respective places. I also heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Arrange for pebbles (the size of a chickpea or bean, etc.)."
