Mujahid narrates: We were with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) on a journey. While passing a certain place, he turned slightly aside from the path. He was asked: Why did you do that? He replied: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) doing this, so I did it too.
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
