Excellence of Adopting Different Routes for Going and Returning on 'Eid Prayer and Various Other Occasions

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

On the occasion of the 'Eid, the Prophet (ﷺ) would proceed to the prayer place taking one route and returning from another. <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.

عن جابر رضي الله عنه ‏:‏ كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم إذا كان يوم عيد خالف الطريق‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to go by way of Ash-Shajarah and return by way of Al-Mu'arras. He would also enter Makkah through the Higher Pass and would leave it through the Lower Pass. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يخرج من طريق الشجرة، ويدخل من طريق المعرس، وإذا دخل مكة دخل من الثنية العليا ويخرج من الثنية السفلى‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏
