Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed ‘Umrah or Hajj, he would also stop at (the place of) Dhul-Hulaifah. And when he returned from any expedition and passed through that route, or was on Hajj or ‘Umrah, he would descend into the valley. Then, when he ascended from the depth of the valley, he would make the camel kneel at that Batha’ which is on the edge of the valley towards the east. Then, in the last part of the night, he would rest there until morning came. (This place where the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to rest) is not near the mosque built of stones, nor on the mound on which the mosque is situated. Rather, there was a spring at that place, and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pray near it, and there were some sand dunes inside it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray there. Then, a flood came from the Batha’ and flowed until it reached the place where Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pray.
