8 – ʿAlī ibn al-Jaʿd said: ʿUthmān ibn Zufar informed me, from a man of Banū Hāshim, from a man of al-Yamāmah, from his father, from his grandfather—who had lived through the pre-Islamic era—who said:

“In the Days of Ignorance we would halt at the Standing Place on the Day of Sacrifice. There, from the mountain, we would hear a voice while seeing no one, a caller proclaiming:

‘Transgression fells its own people,
casts them into the abode of disgrace,
and rubs their noses in the dust!’”
