during the day with pasturing the livestock and guarding them, and the people of the water supply are those who provide water from the well of Zamzam for the pilgrims, so they are occupied with their water supply during the day; therefore, pelting was permitted for them during their spare time to alleviate the burden upon them. Thus, it is permissible for them to pelt each day during the coming night, so they pelt the Jamrat al-'Aqaba on the night of the first day of the days of Tashriq, the pelting of the first day on the night of the second, and the pelting of the second on the night of the third, and the third, if they delay it until sunset, it lapses from them, just as it lapses from others. 'Ata' said: No one should pelt at night except the shepherds of camels; as for the merchants, then no. Malik, al-Shafi'i, Abu Thawr, and the people of opinion used to say: Whoever forgets the pelting until the night, he pelts, and there is nothing upon him, whether they are shepherds or others.
676 - Issue: He said: (It is permissible for the shepherds to delay the pelting and make it up at the time of the second.)
The gist of this is that it is permissible for the shepherds to abandon staying the night in Mina on the nights of Mina, and they delay the pelting of the first day, and they pelt on the Day of the First Departure (Naf); for both days of pelting together, due to the hardship upon them in staying the night and residing for the pelting. Malik narrated from 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr, from his father, from Abu al-Baddah ibn 'Asim, from his father, who said: The Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) granted a concession to the shepherds of camels regarding spending the night, that they may pelt on the Day of Sacrifice, then they combine the pelting of two days after the Day of Sacrifice, and they pelt them on one of the two. Malik said: I think he said on the first day of them, then they pelt on the Day of Departure. Ibn Majah and al-Tirmidhi narrated it. And he said: A good (hasan) authentic (sahih) hadith, narrated by Ibn 'Uyaynah, who said:
= The Chapter on the Pelting of the Shepherds, from the Book of Rites. Al-Mujtaba 5/221. And Ibn Majah, in: The Chapter on Delaying the Pelting of the Jamarat..., from the Book of Rites. Sunan Ibn Majah 2/1010. And Imam Ahmad, in: Al-Musnad 5/450.
(1) In A, B, and M: "al-waqt" (the time). (2) In A, B, and M: "yajma'una" (they combine). (3) Omitted from: The original, B, and M. (4) Its extraction was mentioned previously along with the extraction of the previous hadith. It was also narrated by Imam Malik, in: The Chapter on the Concession for Pelting the Jamarat, from the Book of Hajj. Al-Muwatta 1/408.
