Sahih al-Bukhari 1703 (Book 25, Hadith 243)
Mecca through the Thaniya which is at the higher region of Mecca, and whenever he came to Mecca
for Hajj or `Umra, he never made his she camel kneel down except near the gate of the Masjid (Sacred
Mosque) and then he would enter (it) and go to the Black (stone) Corner and start from there
circumambulating the Ka`ba seven times: hastening in the first three rounds (Ramal) and walking in
the last four. On finishing, he would offer two rak`at prayer and set out to perform Tawaf between
Safa and Marwa before returning to his dwelling place. On returning (to Medina) from Hajj or `Umra,
he used to make his camel kneel down at Al-Batha which is at Dhul-Hulaifa, the place where the
Prophet used to make his camel kneel down.
