وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي، الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَكَانَ، رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي عَشِيَّةِ عَرَفَةَ وَغَدَاةِ جَمْعٍ لِلنَّاسِ حِينَ دَفَعُوا " عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ " . وَهْوَ كَافٌّ نَاقَتَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ مُحَسِّرًا - وَهُوَ مِنْ مِنًى - قَالَ " عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَصَى الْخَذْفِ الَّذِي يُرْمَى بِهِ الْجَمْرَةُ " . وَقَالَ لَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُلَبِّي حَتَّى رَمَى الْجَمْرَةَ .
Al-Fadl bin 'Abbas Narrated from:
Ibn 'Abbas narrated from al-Fadl b. Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) who sat behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he (the Holy Prophet) said to the people on the evening of 'Arafa and on the morning to the gathering of people (at Muzdalifa) as they were pushing on to proceed slowly. And he himself drove his she-camel with restraint until he entered Muhassir (it is a place in Mina), and further told them to take up pebbles which were to be thrown at Jamra. And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the Jamra.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1282a
This Hadith teaches calmness during Hajj in a very practical way. Al-Fadl b. Abbas was riding behind Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم addressed the people on the evening of Arafah and again on the morning at Muzdalifa when they were moving forward. He told them, “Proceed slowly.” The narration also says that he restrained his she-camel until he entered Muhassir, which shows controlled movement rather than rushing. He then told the people to take pebbles for throwing at the Jamrah. The Hadith ends by saying that Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم continued pronouncing Talbiya until he stoned the Jamrah. So the core message joins three actions: calm movement, preparing the pebbles, and continuing Talbiya until the stoning.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم instructed people to move with calmness during the Hajj journey.
- He controlled his own mount and did not push forward carelessly.
- Pebbles for the Jamrah were to be taken before the stoning.
- Talbiya continued until the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stoned the Jamrah.
