“Staying in Abtah is not Sunnah; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ only stayed there because it was more convenient for his departure.”  

إِنَّ نُزُولَ الأَبْطَحِ لَيْسَ بِسُنَّةٍ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِيَكُونَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ  

“The Prophet ﷺ set out before daybreak, on the night of departure, from Batha’.”  

قَالَتِ ادَّلَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ النَّفْرِ مِنَ الْبَطْحَاءِ ادِّلاَجًا  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman used to stay at Abtah.”  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ يَنْزِلُونَ بِالأَبْطَحِ
