ʿAbd Allāh reports: “I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stone the Jamrah while riding on the Day of Sacrifice, saying, ‘Take your rites from me, for I do not know—perhaps I shall not perform Ḥajj after this one.’

Muslim likewise narrates—through Zayd ibn Abī Unaysah, from Yaḥyā ibn al-Ḥuṣayn, from his grandmother Umm al-Ḥuṣayn—that she said: “I performed the Farewell Pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I saw him when he cast the pebbles at the Jamrah of al-ʿAqabah, then depart while still on his mount on the Day of Sacrifice, saying, ‘Take your rites from me, for I do not know—perhaps I will not perform Ḥajj after this one.’”

Aḥmad also transmits the same report through Wakīʿ, Muʿtamar ibn Sulaymān, and Abū Qurrah Mūsā ibn Ṭāriq al-Zubaydī, all from Ayman ibn Nābil; and again through Abū Qurrah, from Sufyān al-Thawrī, from Ayman. Al-Nasāʾī and Ibn Mājah record it via Wakīʿ, while al-Tirmidhī cites it through Aḥmad ibn Manīʿ, from Marwān ibn Muʿāwiyah, from Ayman ibn Nābil, declaring it “ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.”

Imām Aḥmad further says: “Nūḥ ibn Maymūn narrated to us; ʿAbd Allāh—meaning al-ʿUmārī—narrated to us, from Nāfiʿ, who said: ‘He used to …’”
