Abu Humaid (Allaah be pleased with him) reported: We went out along with Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) in the expedition of Tabuk, and Humaid further related: We proceeded until we reached the valley of Qura; and Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: I am going forth, so he who among you wants to move fast with me may do so; and he who likes to go slowly may do so. We proceeded until Medina wag within our sight. and he said: This is Tibba (another name of Medina) ; this is Ubud, the mountain which loves us and we love it.
