This is equivalent to the distance of a stone's throw, and he shall continue reciting the Talbiyah along his path. For al-Fadl ibn Abbas was the rider behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on that day, and it is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continued to recite the Talbiyah until he threw the Jamrat al-Aqaba. This is agreed upon (3). In a narration from him, he said: I witnessed the two departures (from Arafah and Muzdalifa) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he was calm, holding back his camel, and he recited the Talbiyah until he threw the Jamrat al-Aqaba. From al-Aswad, he said: Umar departed on the evening of Arafah, and he was reciting the Talbiyah with three (phrases): Labbayka Allahumma labbayk, Labbayka la sharika laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa al-ni'mata laka. This is because the Talbiyah is one of the rites of Hajj, so it is not ceased except upon commencing the process of exiting the state of Ihram, and the first part of that is the throwing of the Jamrat al-Aqaba.

644 - Issue: He said: (And he gathers the pebbles for the stoning from his path, or from Muzdalifa.)

This is recommended only so that he is not occupied with anything upon his arrival before the stoning, for the stoning (1) is a greeting for it, just as the circumambulation (Tawaf) is the greeting of the mosque, so he should not begin with anything before it. Ibn Umar used to gather the pebbles from Jam', and Sa'id ibn Jubayr did the same, and he said: They used to take the pebbles for their provision from Jam'. Al-Shafi'i recommended this. From Ahmad, he said: Take the pebbles from wherever you wish. This is the opinion of Ata and Ibn al-Mundhir. It is more correct, if Allah Almighty wills; because Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said on the morning of al-Aqaba, while he was on his she-camel: "Pick up pebbles for me." So I picked up seven pebbles for him, the size of those thrown with the fingers (al-khadhf). He began to press them between his palms and said: "With the likes of these, throw." Then he said: "O people, beware of extremism in religion, for those who came before you were destroyed by extremism in religion." Narrated by Ibn Majah (2). That took place at Mina, and there is no disagreement that it is sufficient to take them from wherever they are, and gathering the pebbles is better than breaking them;
