What is the ruling on following the traces of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), such as climbing Mount al-Nur, not for the purpose of worship, but for the purpose of knowing what hardship he endured?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person follows some of the traces of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), such as climbing Mount al-Nur, not for the purpose of worship, but for the purpose of knowing what hardship and difficulty the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) endured, is this considered following the traces of the prophets, and is it considered a religious innovation (bid'ah)?

Answer:
Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did not go to Mount al-Nur. The Companions after him did not go to see what the Messenger did and the hardship he endured. And because this opens a door, it opens a door for the ignorant, so closing this door is undoubtedly safer and more pure for the conscience. Yes.
