حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْبَرْمَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَابْنُ، حَنْبَلٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ الْعُلْيَا - قَالاَ عَنْ يَحْيَى إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ مِنْ كَدَاءَ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْبَطْحَاءِ - وَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ السُّفْلَى . زَادَ الْبَرْمَكِيُّ يَعْنِي ثَنِيَّتَىْ مَكَّةَ وَحَدِيثُ مُسَدَّدٍ أَتَمُّ .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to enter Makkah from the upper hillock. The version of Yahya goes: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to enter Makkah from Kuda’ from the hillock of Batha’. He would come out from the lower hillock. Al Barmaki added “that is the two hillocks of Makkah”. The version of Musaddad is more complete.
[1] He heard this narration from three chains of narrators.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 1866In-book reference : Book 11, Hadith 146English translation : Book 10, Hadith 1861
