3028. It was narrated from Sulaimān bin 'Amr bin Ahwas that his mother said: "I saw the Prophet ﷺ on the Day of Sacrifice, at 'Aqabah Pillar, riding a mule. He said: 'O people! When you stone the Pillar, throw small pebbles.'" (Da'if)
3028 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ، عِنْدَ جَمْرَةِ الْعَقَبَةِ، وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِذَا رَمَيْتُمُ الْجَمْرَةَ، فَارْمُوا، بِمِثْلِ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ»

Three Pillars are built in Mina, the pebbles are thrown at them, and every one of them is called a Jamrah. The big one is named Jamaratul 'Aqabah the middle one is Jamratul-Wusta while the last one is called Jamratul-Ula. Common people call Jamrat Satan which is not correct. Throwing pebbles at those places is a form of worship practiced in Hajj, and calling a place of Hajj as Satan is totally wrong. Throwing big pebbles, stones or shoes at the Pillars is contrary to the Sunnah and an exaggeration by which the reward of the act gets lost.
