During the blessed Hijrah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the travellers journeyed north through valleys and lava tracts east of the main caravan routes, passing through al-Ghawla and ʿUwayjah, and west of Mount Jumdān. On a later occasion, the Prophet ﷺ referred to Jumdān, saying that it had “surpassed the mufridūn” — those who frequently remember Allah — as narrated by Abu Hurayrah.
The journey then continued towards the Valley of ʿAmj and along the western edge of the surrounding lava fields until the travellers reached the tents of Umm Maʿbad al-Khuzaʿiyyah in the Valley of Qudayd. Despite the severe drought, the Prophet ﷺ miraculously caused milk to flow from a frail goat. This encounter gave rise to Umm Maʿbad’s celebrated description of the Prophet ﷺ, one of the most detailed and eloquent accounts of his appearance and noble character.
After a brief rest, the travellers resumed their journey through the Valley of Qudayd and along the caravan route bordering the lava tract of al-Mushallal. In the Valley of Khulayya, Suraqah ibn Malik, pursuing the Prophet ﷺ after the Quraysh had offered a reward for his capture, was miraculously prevented from reaching him when his horse repeatedly sank into the sand.
The journey then passed through al-Kharrār and by al-Juhfah, which was later designated as a mīqāt for pilgrims arriving from Syria and Egypt. Today, the site preserves the remains of Abbasid-era basalt structures.
On the third day of the journey, Wednesday 14 September (3 Rabīʿ al-Awwal), the travellers once again passed through al-Kharrār before reaching the well-known landmark of Khum Creek.
