When he arrived at Muhassar valley, he increased his speed a little and proceeded along the middle road (a different road from that which he used on his way to Arafat) which led to the Grand Jamarah.  He proceeded up to the Jamarah, which is by the tree where he did the stoning.  He threw at it seven little stones and each time he threw a stone, he said: “Allahu Akbar” or Allah is the Greatest.  When he did his stoning, he stood at the bottom of the valley (so that Mina, Arafat and Muzadalifah were on his right hand side and Makkah was to his left).  

            He then went to the slaughter place where, with his own hand, he sacrificed sixty-three animals and asked Ali to slaughter the rest.  Ali did that, and the Prophet made Ali his partner in his sacrificed animals.  He ordered that a small piece of meat be taken from each animal he sacrificed and they were all put in a large saucepan to cook.  When it was ready, the Prophet and Ali had some soup and ate of the meat of the cooking.  

            The Prophet then mounted his she-camel and went straight on to Makkah.  Arriving at the Sacred Mosque, he did the Tawaf of Ifadah and prayed Dhuhr at Makkah.  He then went toward Zamzam, where members of the clan of Abdul Muttalib (the Prophet’s own clan) were serving people, getting the water from the well of Zamzam to give a drink of its water to anyone who cared to have one.         

            The Prophet said to his tribesmen: “Bani Abdul Muttalib, work hard at providing drinks for people.  I would have joined you in your service if it was not for fear that people would overpower you to do this service”.  (This means that the Prophet feared that people would think that giving water to other pilgrims is one of the rituals of pilgrimage and there will be a great deal of fighting over it.) They gave him a bucket of water and he drank from it.
