2007 — Yahya ibn Ma‘in narrated to us: Hisham ibn Yusuf narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj: ‘Ubaydullah ibn Abi Yazid informed me that ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Tariq informed him, from his mother: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he passed by a place in the house of Ya‘la — ‘Ubaydullah forgot it — he faced the House (the Ka‘bah) and supplicated.

86 — Chapter: Al-Tahassib (alighting at al-Muhassab)

2008 — Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us: Yahya ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Hisham, from his father, from ‘A’ishah: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, only alighted at al-Muhassab to make his departure easier; it is not a Sunnah (established practice). So whoever wishes may alight there, and whoever wishes may not alight there. (2)

= Al-Muhassab. Al-Tibi said: In origin it is any place with abundant pebbles, and what is meant by it is the mountain pass whose one end is at Mina and whose other end connects to al-Abtah. It is thus referred to by the well-known al-Muhassab, by way of applying the name of the adjacent place to that which is adjacent to it. In "Al-Nihayah": it is the mountain pass whose exit leads to al-Abtah, between Mecca and Mina.

(1) Its chain of transmission is weak due to the unknown status of ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Tariq. He also differed in this chain, for he narrated it once from his father, and another time said: from his uncle. Al-Bukhari said in "Al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 5/298: It is not authentic. And he said another time: from his mother, as in the author’s version here, which is the most likely according to what al-Hafiz mentioned in the biography of Tariq ibn ‘Alqamah in "Al-Isabah." Hisham ibn Yusuf: he is al-San‘ani, and Ibn Jurayj: he is ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz.
Al-Nasa’i also recorded it in "Al-Kubra" (3865) via the path of Abu ‘Asim al-Nabil, from Ibn Jurayj, with this chain.
It is in "Musnad Ahmad" (16587).

(2) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Yahya ibn Sa‘id: he is al-Qattan, and Hisham: he is Ibn ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr.
Al-Bukhari also recorded it (1765), Muslim (1311), Ibn Majah (3067), al-Tirmidhi (940) and (941), and al-Nasa’i in "Al-Kubra" (4193) via multiple paths from Hisham, with this chain. =
