Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) halted at al-Muhassab only so that departing from there would be easier. It is not a Sunnah; so whoever wishes may halt there, and whoever wishes may not.

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order me to halt with those with me at al-Abtah; rather, I myself pitched a tent there, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came and halted there.
