2891. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ between Makkah and Al-Madinah, and we passed through a valley. He said: 'What valley is this?' They said: 'Azraq Valley.' He said: 'It is as if I can see Musa ﷺ' — and he mentioned something about the length of his hair, which Dawud (one of the narrators) did not remember — 'putting his fingers in his ears and raising his voice to Allâh reciting the Talbīyah,
passing through this valley.' Then we traveled on until we came to a narrow pass, and he said: 'What pass is this?' They said: 'Thaniyyat Harsha' or 'Laft.' He said: 'It is as if I can see Yunus, on a red she-camel, wearing a woolen cloak and holding the reins of his she-camel, woven from palm fibers, passing through this valley, reciting the Talbiyah.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
The Prophets of the Children of Israel also used to visit Makkah for Hajj, even though their Qiblah was Baitul-Maqdis.
It was a form of revelation that the past incidents were shown to the Prophet ﷺ, as they were taking place. So, the Prophet ﷺ, used to get the knowledge of past occurrences or the details of Paradise and Hell as the one who had witnessed them.
