وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَّ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَبْلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُ أَنَّ كَذَا قَبْلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا لِهَؤُلاَءِ الثَّلاَثِ قَالَ " افْعَلْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ " .
Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As (Allah be pleased with them) reported: As Allah's Apostle. (ﷺ) was delivering sermon on the Day of Nahr, a man stood up before him and said: Messenger of Allah, I did not know that such and such (rite was to be performed) before such and such (rite). Then another man came and said: Messenger of Allah, I thought that such and such (rite) should precede such and such (rite), and then another man came and said: Messenger of Allah, I had thought that such and such was before such and such, and such and such (is the sequence) of the three (rites, viz. throwing of pebbles, sacrificing of animal and shaving of one's head). He said to all these three: Do now (if you have not observed the cequence) ; there is no harm in it.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1306d
This Hadith takes place while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was delivering a sermon on the Day of Nahr. Different men stood and asked about the order of rites. Each had thought one rite came before another. The narration mentions the three rites: throwing pebbles, sacrificing the animal, and shaving the head. To all of them, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Do now; there is no harm in it.” This is a clear hadith about do it and no harm, Hajj rite order, and Day of Nahr mistakes. The point is not to ignore Hajj rites, but to understand that in this reported situation, people who mixed the order were told to complete the action and were not blamed with harm in the wording of the Hadith.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم answered questions during the sermon on the Day of Nahr.
- The questions were about the order of throwing, sacrifice, and shaving.
- He told the questioners to do the remaining rite and said there was no harm.
- The Hadith shows ease for the sequence issues mentioned in the text.
