About Northern Thaniyyat al-Wada'

The northern Thaniyyat al-Wada', the Pass of Farewell, was the rise on the road towards Syria where the people of Madinah accompanied departing travellers and welcomed them home. Nabi Muhammad ﷺ was seen off and greeted here on campaigns to the north, including the expedition to Tabuk in 9 AH. The site lies north-west of Masjid al-Nabawi, near Mount Sal'. A separate listing covers the pass of the same name on the Quba side.
