Salim reported that Abu Bakr, 'Umar and Ibn 'Umar (RA) used to halt at Abtah. 'Urwa narrated from 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) that he did not observe this practice and said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) halted there, for it is a place from where it was easy to depart.

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported: Halt at Muhassab is not something (significant from the point of view of the Shari'ah). It is a place of halt where Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) halted.

Abu Rafi' reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not command me to observe halt at al-Abtah when be departed from Mina, but I came and set up his (the Holy Prophet's) tent (of my own accord); and he (Allah's Apostle) ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came and observed halt. This hadith is narrated through another chain of transmitters from Abu Rafi' who was (in charge) of the luggage of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) .

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: God willing, we will get down tomorrow, at Khaif of Banu Kinanah, the place where they had taken an oath on unbelief.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to us as we were at Mina: We would observe halt tomorrow at-Khaif of Banu Kinanah, where (the polytheists) had taken an oath on unbelief, and that was that the Quraish and Banu Kinanah had pledged against Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib that they would neither marry nor do any transaction with them unless they deliver Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to them. And (this pledge was) taken at this (place) Muhassab.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: God willing, when Allah has granted us victory, our halt tomorrow will be at Khaif, where they (the unbelievers of Makkah) had taken an oath on unbelief.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported that al-'A'bbas bin Abdul Muttalib (RA) sought permission from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to spend in Makkah the nights (which he was required to spend) at Mina on account of his being a supplier of water, and he (the Holy Prophet) granted him permission.

A hadith like this has been narrated by 'Ubaidullah bin 'Umar with the the same chain of transmitters.

Bakr bin 'Abdullah al-Muzani said: While I was sitting along with Ibn 'Abbas (RA) near the Ka’bah, there came a bedouin to him and said: What is the matter that I see that the progeny of your uncle supply honey and milk (as drink to the travellers), whereas you supply al-nabidh (water sweetened with dates)? Is it due to your poverty or due to your close-fistedness? Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas said: Allah be praised, it is neither due to poverty nor due to close-fistedness (but due to the fact) that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came here riding his she-camel, and there was sitting behind him Usama. He asked for water, and we gave him a cup full of nabidh and he drank it, and gave the remaining (part) to Usama; and he (the Holy Prophet) said: You have done Food, you have done well. So continue doing like it. So we do not like to change what Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had commanded us to do.

'Ali (RA) reperted: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) put me in charge of his sacrificial animals, that I should give their flesh, skins and saddle cloths as sadaqa, but not to give anything to the butcher, saying: We would pay him ourselves.
