question #3 Sahih Muslim 621a, Book 5, Hadith 242 : What can be inferred about the geographical and social context of Medina from the mention of al-‘Awali in the hadith?

Anas b. Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray the afternoon prayer when the sun was high and bright, then one would go off to al-‘Awali and get there while the sun was still high. Ibn Qutaiba made no mention of” one would go off to al-‘Awali”.
