Hadith on Hajj: Stoning the Jamarat where Al-Baqarah was revealed

‘Abdur Rahman ibn Yazid reported: Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him, stoned the pillar of al-‘Aqabah from within the valley with seven pebbles, declaring Allah is great with each pebble. It was said to him, “Some people are stoning it from above.” Abdullah said, “By the One besides whom there is no God, this is the place of the one upon whom Surat al-Baqarah was revealed.”

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ رَمَى عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ مِنْ بَطْنِ الْوَادِي بِسَبْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ يُكَبِّرُ مَعَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَرْمُونَهَا مِنْ فَوْقِهَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ هَذَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ مَقَامُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ
