The following hadith sums up many of the events of the Prophet’s emigration: It was narrated on the authority of `A’ishah that he Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Muslims: “In a dream I have been shown your place of immigration, a land of date palm trees, between two lava fields, the two stony tracts.” So, some people immigrated to Madinah, and most of those people who had previously immigrated to the land of Ethiopia returned to Madinah. They rejoiced so much that I saw the girls and boys saying, ‘This is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he has come’” (Al-Bukhari). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and I never saw the people of Madinah rejoice more than that. Then Ammar, Bilal, and Sad came, then ` Umar ibn Al-Khattab came with twenty others. With regard to the first Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to emigrate, Al-Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The first ones who came to us of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were Mus ab ibnUmayr and Ibn Umm Maktum. Ibn At-Teen said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was shown the land of immigration in a way that could apply to Madinah and to other places then he was shown the feature that is unique to Madinah so it became clear which land that was.” This dream was different from the dream mentioned above in the hadith of Abu Musa in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not sure where that land was. It was narrated from Abu Musa that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I saw in a dream that I was emigrating from Makkah to a land in which there are date palms, and I thought that it was Al-Yamamah or Hajar, but it turned out to be Madinah, Yathrib.” ( Al-Bukhari and Muslim)Īl-Bukhari also narrated on the authority of `A’ishah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Muslims: “I have been shown the land to which you will immigrate: it has palm trees between two lava fields, two stony tracts.” So, some people immigrated to Madinah, and most of those people who had previously immigrated to the land of Ethiopia, returned to Madinah.Ĭommenting on this hadith, Al-Hafiz wrote: “The harrah (stony tract) is land whose stones are black. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saw in a dream that he was immigrating to that city. When the persecution of the people of Makkah against the Muslims grew intense, Allah commanded them to emigrate so that they could establish the religion of Allah in a land where they could worship Him.Īllah chose Madinah as the land of Hijrah (emigration for the sake of Allah).
