Among the rituals of pilgrimage is the Farewell Tawaf, which is the final Tawaf performed by the pilgrim before leaving Mecca.In this regard, `Abdullah ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The people" - i.e., after completing their pilgrimage and before performing the Farewell Tawaf around the Ka`bah - "used to leave in every direction." That is, on every road from Mecca. The narration reads: "so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon) said: No one should leave" - i.e. none of you should depart from Mecca - "until their last act," meaning until the last of his rituals, "is the Tawaf around the House," i.e., the Farewell Tawaf around Ka`bah (The sacred House)..
