حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُحَصَّبَ لِيَکُونَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ وَلَيْسَ بِسُنَّةٍ فَمَنْ شَائَ نَزَلَهُ وَمَنْ شَائَ لَمْ يَنْزِلْهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2008
Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ alighted at al-Muhassab so that it might be easier for him to proceed (to Madina). It is not a sunnah (i. e. a rite of Hajj). Anyone who desires may alight there, and anyone who does not want may not alight.
