عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ حَتَّى أَتَى سَرِفَ وَهِيَ تِسْعَةُ أَمِيَالٍ مِنْ مَكَّةَ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from Makkah Mukarramah at the time of sunset and did not perform the prayer until he reached the place of Saraf, which is at a distance of nine miles from Makkah.
