Transliteration
Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great) with each pebble he threw at the three pillars. Then he went forward, stood facing the Qiblah and raised his hands and called upon Allah. That was after (stoning) the first and second pillar. As for the third, he stoned it and called out Allahu Akbar with every pebble he threw but when he was finished he left without standing at it (for supplications).
Translation

For the third pillar, he would say 'Allahu Akbar' with each pebble but then depart without making a lengthy supplication there.
