English Translation

Narrated by Hadrat 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (may Allah be well pleased with them both) that the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) would stop at Dhul-Hulaifah when going for 'Umrah and during his Farewell Pilgrimage. He would alight beneath an acacia tree at the site of the mosque in Dhul-Hulaifah. When returning from a military expedition — if the route passed through that area — or from Hajj or 'Umrah, he would descend into the bed of the valley. When he emerged from it, he would camp at the stony ground (batha') on the eastern edge of the valley and rest there until morning. This spot was not near the mosque built of stones nor upon the hillock on which the mosque stands. There was a stream there where Hadrat 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (may Allah be well pleased with them both) would pray. In its bed were sand dunes where the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to pray. Later, a flood carried sand and gravel that buried the spot where Hadrat ' Abdullah (may Allah be well pleased with him) used to pray.
