Genealogy of Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Some Accounts of His Forefathers and Ancestors
[ صُوفَةُ وَرَمْيُ الْجِمَارِ ] كَانَتْ صُوفَةُ تَدْفَعُ بِالنَّاسِ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ، وَتُجِيزُ بِهِمْ إذَا نَفَرُوا مِنْ مِنًى، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ النَّفْرِ أَتَوْا لِرَمْيِ الْجِمَارِ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ صُوفَةَ يَرْمِي لِلنَّاسِ، لَا يَرْمُونَ حَتَّى يَرْمِي. فَكَانَ ذَوُو الْحَاجَاتِ الْمُتَعَجِّلُونَ يَأْتُونَهُ، فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ: قُمْ فَارْمِ حَتَّى نَرْمِيَ مَعَكَ؛ فَيَقُولُ: لَا وَاَللَّهِ، حَتَّى تَمِيلَ الشَّمْسُ. فَيَظَلُّ ذَوُو الْحَاجَاتِ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ التَّعَجُّلَ يَرْمُونَهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ، وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَهُ بِذَلِكَ، وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ: وَيْلَكَ قُمْ فَارْمِ؛ فَيَأْبَى عَلَيْهِمْ. حَتَّى إذَا مَالَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَامَ فَرَمَى وَرَمَى النَّاسُ مَعَهُ.
Translation
✧ [ Ṣūfah and the Stoning of the Jamarāt ] Ṣūfah used to send the people on from ʿArafah and grant them permission to depart when they left Minā. When it was the Day of Departure, they came to stone the Jamarāt, and a man from Ṣūfah would stone on behalf of the people; they would not stone until he stoned. Those with urgent needs, who wished to hasten, would come to him and say to him: 'Arise and stone so that we may stone with you.' He would say: 'No, by God, not until the sun declines.' Those with urgent needs who wished to hasten would pelt him with stones, urging him by that, and say to him: 'Woe to you! Arise and stone.' But he would refuse them. Until when the sun declined, he arose and stoned, and the people stoned with him.
