Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from Mina and stayed at Muhassab so that it would be easier for him to leave for Madinah from there. His intention in staying at Abtah was this.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas narrated that staying at Muhassab is not a ritual of Hajj; it was only the place where the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stayed.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that on the morning of the eleventh (of Dhul-Hijjah), when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Mina, he said that tomorrow we will stay at Khayf Bani Kinana, where the Quraysh had sworn an oath to support disbelief. He meant Muhassab, because it was there that the Quraysh and Kinana had sworn an oath against Banu Hashim and Banu Abd al-Muttalib, or (the narrator said) Banu al-Muttalib, that they would not marry among them nor buy or sell from them until they handed over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to them.
