Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it authentic that it is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that he intended to make a journey to Mount Tur, and Abu Basrah al-Ghifari refuted him?

The Shaykh:
Directly.

The questioner:
Abu Basrah al-Ghifari, with the hadith "Do not make a journey except to three mosques," so he (may Allah be pleased with him) desisted from that.

The Shaykh:
Yes, yes. It is reported that Abu Hurayrah vowed to travel to Mount Tur, where Allah spoke to Musa. When Abu Basrah al-Ghifari learned of this, he said to him, "Do not make a journey except to three mosques," so he abandoned the journey. Yes.
