English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — [via Musa ibn 'Uqba,] from Nafi' — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed beyond al-'Arj — as you go [toward Mecca], at a summit five miles from al-'Arj — at a mosque next to a rocky hill. Near that mosque are two or three graves, upon which stones are piled, on the right side of the road at the rock formations [salamat] of the road. 'Abdullah would set out from al-'Arj after midday at the hottest part of the day and pray Dhuhr at that mosque.
