A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud ibn al-Nu’man from abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-‘Aqiq if it was designated by the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, or that people have done something about it.

He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah designated Dhu al-Hulayfah for the people of al-Madinah, for the people of al-Maghrib he (the Messenger of Allah) designated al-Juhfah and this is written with us as Mahya‘ah.

For the people of Yemen, he (the Messenger of Allah) designated Yalamlam; Qarn al-Manazil is for people of Ta’if and for the people of Najd is al-‘Aqiq and also for those who come from Najd.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/236))
