His (peace and blessings be upon him) sa'y, his descent to al-Abtah, and his departure to Mina.

The Shaykh : The third, or rather the fourth, stop: at the sa'y. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approached al-Safa, he recited: Listen. When he approached, not when he climbed al-Safa, but when he approached al-Safa, he said: So he began with al-Safa. He climbed al-Safa, and what did he do when he climbed it? He raised his hands when he saw the House and said Allahu Akbar three times. And he said: . He repeated this three times, making supplication between the first and second, and between the second and third. After the third, he descended heading toward al-Marwah. During the tawaf, he passed by the valley; the valley means the course of the flood. At that time, it was clear and distinct. Is the bottom of the valley usually low or high? Answer. Low. When it went down, he walked briskly, meaning: he ran until his lower garment spun around him from the intensity of the sa'y. And when he went up the valley, he walked normally and did on al-Marwah what he did on al-Safa. He did not repeat the verse: because it is not part of the dhikr of the sa'y. He only said it when he approached al-Safa before entering the sa'y. Good. Standing at the sa'y means it is not much, because there is nothing to touch, nothing to face, and nothing to point to. It is only known laps, beginning with al-Safa and ending with al-Marwah. What did he do after the sa'y? He ordered those who did not have a sacrificial animal with them to make their ihram an 'Umrah and to exit the state of ihram. They said: . He insisted on them and became angry until those who did not have a sacrificial animal exited the state of ihram. They said: . Good.
A stop after he performed the sa'y. We said: He descended to where? Say it. To al-Abtah, outside Mecca. He stayed there for four days, from Sunday to Thursday. In this place, he shortened the prayer, and sometimes he combined the two prayers. Is staying in al-Abtah one of the prescribed matters, or did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) descend there for the sake of rest? The answer is the latter. At that time, there were no buildings. Now there are buildings, and a person cannot descend except by renting from the buildings there. And yet, we do not say that it is from the Sunnah for your place in Mecca to be in these buildings. No, because the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) descent to al-Abtah was easier for him for the departure to Mina. The Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) departure to Mina was on the eighth day.
We stop here: Is staying in Mina from the eighth day to the morning of the ninth day obligatory or a recommended practice? The answer: It is a recommended practice and not obligatory. So if a person departs from Mecca to 'Arafah, there is no harm. But he misses the reward of staying overnight in Mina. And if he did not enter the state of ihram for Hajj until the day of 'Arafah and went to 'Arafah, there is no harm. The evidence: 'Urwah ibn Muddarris (may Allah be pleased with him) caught up with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the morning of the Day of Sacrifice at Muzdalifah and prayed with him. And he informed him that he had exhausted his camel and exhausted himself, and he did not leave a mountain without stopping at it. So does he have a Hajj? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to him: . And based on this, if people go from their homelands and arrive in Mecca on the eighth day and immediately depart to Mina without performing tawaf of the House and sa'y, there is no harm.
