حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ يَنْزِلُونَ الأَبْطَحَ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي رَافِعٍ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ . وَقَدِ اسْتَحَبَّ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ نُزُولَ الأَبْطَحِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرَوْا ذَلِكَ وَاجِبًا إِلاَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَنُزُولُ الأَبْطَحِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَيْءٍ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَنْزِلٌ نَزَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Ishaq ibn Mansur informed us: Abd al-Razzaq informed us: Ubayd Allah ibn Umar informed us, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, who said: The Prophet, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman used to stop at al-Abtah.
There are reports on this topic from A'ishah, Abu Rafi', and Ibn Abbas. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Umar is hasan sahih gharib; we know it only through the narration of Abd al-Razzaq from Ubayd Allah ibn Umar. Some scholars considered stopping at al-Abtah recommended, but did not consider it obligatory; one may do so if one wishes. Al-Shafi'i said, ‘Stopping at al-Abtah is not part of the rites; it is simply a place where the Prophet stopped.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The commentary states explicitly that stopping at al-Abtah is not an obligatory pilgrimage rite.
