Al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We went to Thaniyyat al-Wada' to welcome the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the Battle of Tabuk. And Sufyan also says: I recall the welcoming of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the Battle of Tabuk.
