وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَمَى الْجَمْرَةَ بِمِثْلِ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1299a
This hadith about small pebbles for Jamra is brief and practical. Jabir b. 'Abdullah reports that he saw Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) throwing stones at Jamrat al-Aqaba like the pelting of small pebbles. The report focuses on the size and manner of the stones, not on long explanation. It helps people searching for size of pebbles for Ramy hadith, small pebbles Jamra hadith, and Sahih Muslim 1299a. The narration supports a measured practice rather than throwing large stones.
