During Hajj, when I came to throwing the pebbles, I doubted the number of pebbles which I had thrown in the pit. So, I considered the lesser number in order to be sure that they are seven.

During Tawaaf, I saw a pilgrim near me beating another one with his leg. I stopped him with my hand and said to him: "Why are you doing that to your brother?"
