Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1282b
وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَلَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُلَبِّي حَتَّى رَمَى الْجَمْرَةَ . وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ كَمَا يَخْذِفُ الإِنْسَانُ .
Abd Zubair Narrated from:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abd Zubair with the same chain of transmitters but with this variation that in the hadith no mention is made of (this) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the Jamra, and he made this addition in his hadith: " The Apostle (ﷺ) pointed with his hand how a person should catch hold of pebbles (in order to throw them)."

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1282b
This Hadith is a variation of the narration about moving during Hajj and preparing pebbles for the Jamrah. It does not mention that Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم continued Talbiya until stoning the Jamrah, but it adds another important detail from the same event. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم pointed with his hand to show how a person should catch hold of pebbles for throwing. The focus here is not on a long speech or a broad ruling, but on a simple physical demonstration. This makes the Hadith useful for people searching for how pebbles were handled for Jamrah in the Prophet’s Hajj. It also shows that the Companions preserved small practical details, including hand gestures, because these details helped people understand the Hajj rites more clearly.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used a hand gesture to show how pebbles should be held.
- Practical actions in Hajj were taught through clear demonstration.
- The narration preserves a specific detail about preparing for Jamrah.
- This version differs by not mentioning the continuation of Talbiya.
