Mishkat al-Masabih #1356
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ خَالَفَ الطَّرِيق. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Jabir said that on a festival day the Prophet would return by a different road from the one he had taken when going out.
Bukhari transmitted it.
