Receiving travelers and those coming from Jihaad and Hajj, and giving them a warm welcome,are acts of righteousness, which show the joy and mutual love between the travelers and their friends and families. In this hadeeth, As-Saa’ib ibn Yazeed(may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he and some other boys went out to receive Allah's Messenger ﷺ at Thaniyat Al-Wadaa‘ when he ﷺ was coming back to Al-Madeenah after the Battle of Tabook in 9 A.H. The Arabic word Thaniyah means a mountainous pathway, and Thaniyat Al-Wadaa‘ refers to the mountainous pathway on the way from Al-Madeenah to Tabook.It was given this name because people, young and old, used to bid farewell to their travelers who set out on their journeys for Jihaad or Hajj purposes, and it became the regular place for bidding farewell to the travelers. .
