I heard Al-Hajjaj saying on the pulpit, "The Sura in which Al-Baqara (the cow) is mentioned and the Sura in which the family of ʿImran is mentioned and the Sura in which the women (An-Nisa) is mentioned." I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said, ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Yazid told me, 'I was with Ibn Masʿud, when he did the Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba. He went down the middle of the valley, and when he came near the tree (which was near the Jamra) he stood opposite to it and threw seven small pebbles and said: 'Allahu-Akbar' on throwing every pebble.' Then he said, 'By Him, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, here (at this place) stood the one on whom Surat-al-Baqra was revealed (i.e. Messenger of Allah ﷺ).' "  

سَمِعْتُ الْحَجَّاجَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ السُّورَةُ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا الْبَقَرَةُ وَالسُّورَةُ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا آلُ عِمْرَانَ وَالسُّورَةُ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا النِّسَاءُ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ حِينَ رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَاسْتَبْطَنَ الْوَادِيَ حَتَّى إِذَا حَاذَى بِالشَّجَرَةِ اعْتَرَضَهَا فَرَمَى بِسَبْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ يُكَبِّرُ مَعَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَالَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ قَامَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ ﷺ  

[Machine] "He (Prophet Muhammad) was on the pulpit and said, 'Recite the Quran as Gabriel (the angel) recited it: the Surah in which Al-Baqarah is mentioned, the Surah in which Al-'Imran is mentioned, and the Surah in which An-Nisa' is mentioned.' Al-A'mash said, 'So I met Ibrahim Al-Nakha'i and informed him about it, and he insulted me. Then Ibrahim said, 'Abdul Rahman bin Yazid told me that he was with Abdullah bin Mas'ud when he threw pebbles at the Jamrat Al-'Aqabah and hid in the valley. He threw seven pebbles, and he recited Takbir with each one. So I said, 'O Abu Abdullah, people throw them from above it (the Jamrah).' Ibn Mas'ud said, 'By Him besides Whom there is no deity, this is the place on which Surah Al-Baqarah was revealed.'"  

وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ «أَلِّفُوَا الْقُرْآنَ كَمَا أَلَّفَهُ جِبْرَائِيلُ السُّورَةُ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا الْبَقَرَةُ السُّورَةُ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا آلُ عِمْرَانَ السُّورَةُ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا النِّسَاءُ» قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَلَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيَّ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَسَبَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حِينَ رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَاسْتَبْطَنَ الْوَادِيَ فَرَمَاهَا مِنْ بَطْنِ الْوَادِي بِسَبْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ يُكَبِّرُ مَعَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ فَقُلْتُ «يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَرْمُونَهَا مِنْ فَوْقِهَا» فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «هَذَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ مَقَامُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ»  

[Machine] He was with Abdullah when he threw the pebbles at Al-Aqaba, and he hid in the valley and showed it, meaning the Jamara, and threw it with seven pebbles, saying takbeer with each pebble. So I said, "There are people going up the mountain." He said, "By the One besides whom there is no god, I saw the one upon whom Surah Al-Baqarah was revealed throwing."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ حِينَ رَمَى الْعَقَبَةَ فَاسْتَبْطَنَ الْوَادِيَ وَاسْتَعْرَضَهَا يَعْنِي الْجَمْرَةَ فَرَمَاهَا بِسَبْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ يُكَبِّرُ مَعَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَصْعَدُونَ الْجَبَلَ فَقَالَ «هَاهُنَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ رَأَيْتُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ رَمَى»
