I heard Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf saying while delivering a sermon on the pulpit: "Memorize the Quran as Jibrilﷺ memorized it, namely the Surah Al-Baqarah, the Surah in which women are mentioned, and the Surah in which the family of Imran is mentioned." Then I met Ibrahim and informed him of what Al-Hajjaj said. Ibrahim cursed him and then said to me, "Abdul Rahman bin Yazid informed me that he was with Abdullah bin Mas'ud when they arrived at Al-Aqaba (a specific place) and he hid in the valley. Then, he cited the verses from Surah Al-Baqarah and threw seven stones, making the takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) with each stone. I said, 'O Abu Abdullah, people throw them from above it.' He replied, 'By the One besides Whom none has the right to be worshipped, this is the point where Surah Al-Baqarah was revealed.'"
