The Location of al-Abtah and the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) Descent There

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, it came in the hadith of Jabir that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) descended at al-Abtah. Where is this place? And was his descent intentional, or did he come upon it incidentally without intent?

Answer:
The al-Abtah where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) descended is at the graveyards, at the slope of al-Hajun. Because he came from Madinah and descended at Dhu al-Thawwa, which is now called Jarwal, and stayed there for a night or spent the night there and performed ghusl (full ritual bath) there. Then he ascended with the slope of al-Hajun until he descended to al-Abtah, and he descended in this place, at this place which is at the graveyards now, the graveyards they call the Graveyard of Aisha. Yes.
