Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
On the occasion of the `Eid, the Prophet (PBUH) would
proceed to the prayer place taking one route and returning from another.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The `Ulama' say that there are many subtle points of wisdom in changing the way. According to
Imam An-Nawawi, this causes an increase in the places of worship. Some say that both ways will bear witness on
the Day of Reckoning, that he had passed through them in a state of worship. This may also be the object that
instead of one way, the needy on two ways should benefit from alms and charity.

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) 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.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
It was the habit of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that while going to Makkah from Al-Madinah, he
would adopt the route of a shallow ravine and his return route being always a deep ravine. Ash-Shajarah is a well-
known place. He would pass through it and reach Dhul-Hulaifah and spend a night there. Yet, he would proceed to
Al-Madinah through Al-Mu`arras, a name given to Dhul-Hulaifah Masjid
(mosque)
which is six-mile away from Al-
Madinah. Again this is to be concluded that while returning to our destination from any place, we should choose a
different route because this was exactly the habit of the Prophet (PBUH) .
