In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).
The second migration to Abyssinia.
Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, departed.
Accompanied by groups of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.
To Abyssinia for the second migration.
This occurred after the Quraysh intensified their hostility toward those who believed.
And incited the other tribes to redouble their persecution of the Muslims.
The number of those who departed with Ja'far, may Allah be pleased with him, was—
Among the noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them—
Eighty-three men,
If 'Ammar ibn Yasir, may Allah be pleased with him, was among them,
For there is doubt regarding his migration with them.
Or eighty-two men,
If 'Ammar ibn Yasir, may Allah be pleased with him, was not among them.
And eighteen women.
Imam al-Suhayli said:
Ibn Ishaq expressed doubt regarding 'Ammar ibn Yasir, may Allah be pleased with him,
As to whether he migrated to the land of Abyssinia or not.
The most correct view among the scholars of history,
Such as al-Waqidi, Ibn 'Uqbah, and others,
Is that he was not among them.
They differ regarding some of the names of those who migrated to Abyssinia.
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad with a weak chain of transmission,
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent us to the Negus,
And we were about eighty men,
Among them 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud,
Ja'far,
'Abdullah ibn 'Urfutah,
'Uthman ibn Maz'un,
And Abu Musa.
So they came to the Negus.
The hadith continues.
Ibn Ishaq said:
Then Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, departed,
And the Muslims followed one another,
Until they gathered in the land of Abyssinia and resided there.
Some of them departed with their families,
And some departed alone, without family.
Then Ibn Ishaq listed the names of the Companions in this second migration,
And mentioned among them a number of those who witnessed the Great Battle of Badr,
Such as 'Uthman,
Al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam,
Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr,
'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf,
'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud,
And others, may Allah be pleased with them.
The participants of this second migration to Abyssinia
Only arrived in Medina with Ja'far, may Allah be pleased with him,
In the seventh year of the Hijrah,
Which was when the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, conquered Khaybar.
Thus, an error occurred for Ibn Ishaq and others
In mentioning the number of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them,
In this second migration,
Who witnessed the Great Battle of Badr.
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:
He mentioned in this second migration
'Uthman ibn 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him,
And a group of those who witnessed Badr.
So either this is an error,
Or they had another arrival before Badr,
Meaning they had three arrivals:
An arrival before the Hijrah,
An arrival before Badr,
And an arrival in the year of Khaybar.
Likewise, Ibn Sa'd and others said:
That when they heard of the migration of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to Medina,
Thirty-three men returned,
And eighteen women.
Two men died among them in Mecca,
Seven individuals were detained in Mecca,
And twenty-four men among them witnessed Badr.
