ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَمَرَرْنَا بِوَادٍ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيُّ وَادٍ هَذَا ؟ " ، قَالُوا : وَادِي الْأَزْرَقِ ، قَالَ : " كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلام فَذَكَرَ مِنْ طُولِ شَعَرِهِ شَيْئًا لَا يَحْفَظُهُ دَاوُدُ وَاضِعًا إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ ، لَهُ جُؤَارٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ مَارًّا بِهَذَا الْوَادِي " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ سِرْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا عَلَى ثَنِيَّةٍ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيُّ ثَنِيَّةٍ هَذِهِ " ؟ ، قَالُوا : ثَنِيَّةُ هَرْشَى أَوْ لَفْتٍ ، قَالَ : " كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يُونُسَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ صُوفٍ ، وَخِطَامُ نَاقَتِهِ خُلْبَةٌ مَارًّا بِهَذَا الْوَادِي مُلَبِّيًا " .
´It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:` “We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) between Makkah and Al-Madinah, and we passed through a valley. He said: ‘What valley is this?’ They said: ‘Azraq Valley.’ He said: ‘It is as if I can see Musa (as) – and he mentioned something about the length of his hair, which Dawud (one of the narrators) did not remember – ‘putting his fingers in his ears and raising his voice to Allah reciting the Talbiyah, passing through this valley.’ Then we traveled on until we came to a narrow pass, and he said: ‘What pass is this?’ They said: ‘Thaniyyat Harsha’ or ‘Laft.’ He said: ‘It is as if I can see Yunus, on a red she-camel, wearing a woollen cloak and holding the reins of his she-camel, woven from palm fibres, passing through this valley, reciting the Talbiyah.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The prophets of Bani Isra'il (the Children of Israel), alayhimus-salam, also performed Hajj of the noble Ka'bah, even though their qiblah was Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).
➋ One mode of revelation to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was that past events were shown to him in such a manner as if they were happening before his eyes. In this way, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would become acquainted with past events or the conditions of Paradise and Hell in the same way as someone who has witnessed events with his own eyes and remembers them.
➌ It is recommended (mustahabb) to call out the talbiyah in a loud voice. (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2922 to 2924)
➍ It is prohibited for a man to wear stitched clothing in the state of ihram. (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2929) It is possible that in the Shari'ah of Yunus (alayhis-salam) this was permitted, which is why he wore a woolen cloak (jubba).

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Thaniyyah (plural: thanaya):
Mountain pass,
gorge,
mountainous path.
(2)
Ju'ar:
Supplicating in a loud voice,
pleading earnestly,
the bellowing of a bull.
(3)
Talbiyah:
Saying "Allahumma labbayk" (O Allah, here I am at Your service).
Benefits and Issues:
On the night of Mi'raj,
the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)
was shown the state of the lives of some of the Prophets—how their Hajj was performed,
what kind of mounts they had,
how they recited the talbiyah.
Today, humans prepare videos of various programs,
and then whenever they wish,
they watch those programs.
So, can Allah Ta'ala not prepare videos of the lives of humans,
their actions and deeds,
and show them to whomever He wills, whenever He wills?
That is why the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used the words "ka'anni anzuru" ("as if I am seeing...").
In the same way, the images of Dajjal and Malik, the keeper of Hell, were shown,
just as the images of Paradise and Hell were shown to you.
To the extent that you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stepped back upon seeing Hell, and moved forward to pick the fruits of Paradise,
to the extent that you saw people being punished in Hell.
