It (i.e. Al-Abtah) was a place where the Prophet ﷺ used to camp so that it might be easier for him to depart.
إِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْزِلٌ يَنْزِلُهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِيَكُونَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ يَعْنِي بِالأَبْطَحِ

Collected by Muslim, Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's KubráHalt at al-Abtah is not the Sunnah. Messenger of Allah ﷺ halted there simply because it was easier for him to depart from there, when he left.
نُزُولُ الأَبْطَحِ لَيْسَ بِسُنَّةٍ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ إِذَا خَرَجَ
"The Messenger of Allah only camped at Al-Abtah because it was easier for his departure."
إِنَّمَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الأَبْطَحَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ
“Staying in Abtah is not Sunnah; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ only stayed there because it was more convenient for his departure.”

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ alighted at al-Muhassab so that it might be easier for him to proceed (to Medina). 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2008)
«الْمُحَصَّبُ لَيْسَ بِسُنَّةٍ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَنْزِلٌ نَزَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَكُونَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ»
