Bandār transmitted it through Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī, while Ibn Mājah recorded it through ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad, from Yaḥyā ibn Ādam.

Al-Tirmidhī remarked, “A ḥadīth that is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ; we do not know it from ʿAlī’s narration except by this chain.”

I say: It also has supporting reports with authentic chains found in the Ṣaḥīḥ collections and elsewhere. Among them is the story of the Khathʿamī woman, which appears in the two Ṣaḥīḥs through al-Faḍl’s narration; it has previously come up in Jābir’s ḥadīth, and we shall cite whatever further material is accessible.

Al-Bayhaqī, with his chain, relates that Ibn ʿAbbās disapproved of hastening through the Valley of Muḥassir, saying, “That was something the Bedouins used to do.” Al-Bayhaqī then commented, “An affirmative report takes precedence over a negative one.”

I add: The authenticity of that attribution to Ibn ʿAbbās is debatable; Allah knows best.

The practice, however, is soundly established from a number of Companions on the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it is also authentically reported that the two Shaykhs, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with them—used to do it. Al-Bayhaqī narrates—through al-Ḥākim, al-Najjād and others—from Abū ʿAlī Muḥammad ibn Muʿādh ibn al-Mustahill, known as Durrān, from al-Qaʿnabī, from his father, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from al-Miswar ibn Makhramah, that ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with him—would urge his mount forward and recite:

To You it races—its restless saddle-cloth in place;
Her religion stands opposed to the Christians’ creed.

An account of his ﷺ stoning of the Jamrah of al-ʿAqabah alone on the Day of Sacrifice—how and when he cast the pebbles, from what spot and with how many—and of his stopping the talbiyah when he threw them.

It has already been stated in the reports of Usāmah, al-Faḍl, and others among the Companions—may Allah be pleased with them all—that he ﷺ continued to recite the talbiyah until he cast the Jamrah of al-ʿAqabah.
