وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ بَاتَ بِذِي طُوًى حَتَّى إِذَا أَصْبَحَ دَخَلَ ، وَإِذَا نَفَرَ مَرَّ بِذِي طُوًى وَبَاتَ بِهَا حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ ، وَكَانَ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ .
Narrated Nafi': Whenver Ibn 'Umar (ra) approached (Makkah) he used to pass the night at Dhi-Tuwa till dawn, and then he would enter Makkah. On his return, he used to pass by Dhi-Tuwa and pass the night there till dawn, and he used to say that the Prophet (saws) used to do the same.

Hadith Commentary:
These days, this location has become part of the urban area.
Alhamdulillah, during the Hajj journey of 1952, I had the opportunity to perform ritual bath (ghusl) here.
Walhamdulillah ‘ala dhalik.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Ibn Battal rahimahullah has said that staying at Dhi Tuwa on the return from Makkah is not among the rites of Hajj, but the fact that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stayed at these places is not without wisdom. In addition, the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum used to stay there in imitation of the Sunnah, therefore staying at Dhi Tuwa is Sunnah and a source of reward.
(2)
This location has now become part of the urban area, so it is no longer possible to stay there. In any case, the zeal of Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu for following the Sunnah is worthy of emulation. He identified such places by searching for them diligently.
