It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave Madinah Munawwarah, he would depart from the direction of Masjid Shajarah (Dhul-Hulaifah), and when he would enter Madinah Munawwarah, he would enter from the place of Ma‘arris (the resting place). And when he would enter Makkah Mukarramah, he would enter from the direction of the upper mountains, and when he would leave Makkah Mukarramah, he would depart from the direction of the lower mountains.
