أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَی رَاحِلَتِهِ هَاتِ الْقُطْ لِي فَلَقَطْتُ لَهُ حَصَيَاتٍ هُنَّ حَصَی الْخَذْفِ فَوَضَعْتُهُنَّ فِي يَدِهِ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِهِنَّ فِي يَدِهِ وَوَصَفَ يَحْيَی تَحْرِيکَهُنَّ فِي يَدِهِ بِأَمْثَالِ هَؤُلَائِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3066
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “On the morning of Al-’Aqabah, while he was on his mount, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Pick up (some pebbles) for me.’ So I picked up some pebbles for him that were the size of date stones or fingertips, and placed them in his hand. He started to do this with his hand.” Yahya described him shaking them in his hand like this. (Sahih)
