Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) then asked me, “Do you know where it is that you have performed salaah?” I replied, “No, I do not know.” Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) said, “You performed salaah in Yathrib (i.e. Madinah Munawwarah), and this is the land towards which you will perform hijrah.”

We then continued the journey, and on coming to a certain land, Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) again told me to dismount and perform nafl salaah. After I dismounted and performed some nafl salaah, Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) said to me, “You have performed salaah in the valley of Sinai, close to the tree of Nabi Musa (‘alaihis salaam) where Allah Ta‘ala conversed with him.”

We then continued on the journey, and on coming to a certain land, Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) again told me to dismount and perform some salaah. I thus dismounted and performed some nafl salaah, after which Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) said, “You have performed salaah in Madyan (which was the land in which Nabi Shu’aib (‘alaihis salaam) resided).”

We then departed and continued the journey, until we came to a certain place where Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) again told me to dismount and perform some nafl salaah. After I had dismounted and performed some nafl salaah, Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) said, “This place is Bayt-ul-Lahm (Bethlehem), the place where Nabi Isa (‘alaihis salaam) was born.”
