The Case of Pebbles and a Person Suffering Illness, Children and a Person Riding

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim عليه السلام, about a man who is ill; if pebbles on al-Jamar can be thrown on his behalf. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he must be taken to al-Jamar and then pebbles are thrown on his behalf.’”
