Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1156
This Eid route hadith is short and easy to understand. Abdullah ibn Umar reports that the Messenger of Allah went out by one road on the day of Eid and returned by another road. The narration does not give the reason for changing the route, so the safe explanation is simply that this action is reported from the Prophet on Eid day. It is often searched as “different route on Eid hadith” or “return by another road on Eid.” The core topic is the Prophet’s route to and from the Eid prayer. The text gives the action, not a long reason or extra detail.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet went out by one route on Eid day.
- He returned by a different route.
- The narration records a practical detail of the Prophet’s Eid outing.
