111. THE PROPHET’S ENTRANCE INTO MAKKAH
On the authority of Ibn ‘Umar who narrated that Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) used to spend the night at Dhi Tuwa, and he would offer the Subh prayers on his way to Makkah. The place of prayer of the Messenger of Allah, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), was by a rough hillock and Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), would face the crevices of the mountain located between him and the sprawling mountain in the direction of the Ka‘bah. The mosque which had been built was on the left of the edge of the hillock. The place of prayer of the Prophet was at a lower section of a black hillock at a distance ten cubits or thereabout from the hillock. He would pray toward the crevices of the mountain which intervenes between you and the Ka‘bah. This is related in the Sahihain. Whenever Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), reached Dhi Tuwa, close to Makkah and near the Haram, he would stop uttering the Talbiyah because that was his destination. He would spend the night at that place and would offer the Subh prayers there at the described spot between the two crevices of the sprawling mountain. Whoever looks closely at these indicated places with insight will recognize them and the place where Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), prayed will be identified. Then Allah’s Messenger would take a bath for the entrance of Makkah, and he would ride and enter it during the daytime publicly through Thaniyyat Al-Ulya located at the basin- shaped valley also known as Kada’ so that people may see him and to supervise them. This is how he entered it on the Day of the Conquest as mentioned earlier.
Ibn ‘Umar related that Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), entered Makkah through the upper Thaniyyah and exited through the lower Thaniyyah. Related in the Saheehain from his Hadith. Then Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), entered the Mosque through the door of Banu Shaibah. Al-Hafiz Al-Baihaqi said: Ibn Juraij informed us from ‘Ata’ Ibn Abi Rabah who said: “The Muhrim enters from anywhere he wants.” He added: “And the Prophet entered through the gate of Banu Shaibah and exited to Safa through Banu Makhzoom.” Al- Baihaqi further commented: “This is a good mursal.”
