Sayyiduna al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the Battle of Tabuk, the people went to Thaniyyat al-Wada' to welcome him (peace and blessings be upon him). I too went with the people, and I was a boy at that time.
