The Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu ʿAlayhi waalihi would not return from the same road

124. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq Al-Nahdy, from Musa Bin Umar Bin Bazi’e who said: ‘I said to Al-Ridha عليه الصلاة والسلام that, ‘The people are reporting that the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, whenever he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم used to take to a road, would return via another road. So this is what he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم used to do’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Yes, as I عليه الصلاة والسلام do so quite frequently, so do it’. Then he عليه الصلاة والسلام said to me: ‘But rather, it is better for your sustenance’.
