It is narrated from Nafi‘ that when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would approach near to Makkah, he would stop at Dhi Tuwa (which is a place near the gate of Makkah) between two mountain passes, until morning came. Then he would perform the morning prayer and then enter Makkah from the side of the mountain pass which is on the upper side of Makkah. And when he came with the intention of Hajj or ‘Umrah, he would not enter Makkah until he had performed ghusl (ritual bath) at Dhi Tuwa, and he would also instruct those who were with him to perform ghusl before entering Makkah.
