Permission to migrate to Medina.
0:31
The Mother of the Believers, 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:
0:35
When the seventy [delegates] departed from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
0:40
his heart was at ease, peace be upon him.
0:43
Allah had granted him protection and a people who were warriors, well-equipped, and supportive.
0:49
Meanwhile, the polytheists intensified their persecution of the Muslims
0:54
upon learning of their departure to Medina.
0:57
They tightened their grip on his Companions,
0:59
and subjected them to unprecedented levels of abuse and insults.
1:04
The Companions of the Messenger of Allah complained of this,
1:09
and sought his permission to migrate.
1:11
Ibn Ishaq said:
1:14
When this clan of the Ansar pledged their allegiance to him in Islam,
1:19
and promised support for him, his followers, and the early Muslims,
1:24
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, commanded
1:27
his Companions among the Muhajirun from his own people,
1:30
and the Muslims who were with him in Mecca,
1:33
to depart for Medina and migrate there,
1:36
and to join their brothers among the Ansar.
1:40
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
1:43
from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:
1:46
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to the Muslims:
1:51
"I have been shown the place of your migration: a land of palm trees between two lava fields."
1:56
These are the two rocky tracts.
1:58
The two Sheikhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their Sahih collections
2:01
from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:05
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
2:08
"I saw in a dream
2:11
that I was migrating from Mecca to a land with palm trees."
2:15
My mind initially turned to al-Yamamah or Hajar,
2:19
but it turned out to be Medina, Yathrib.
2:22
The meaning of "my mind turned to"
2:24
is my assumption and belief.
2:27
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, commanded
2:31
all the Muslims to migrate to Medina
2:34
and join their brothers among the Ansar.
2:37
He said to them: "Allah, the Almighty,
2:40
has provided you with brothers and a home
2:43
where you will be secure."
2:45
So they departed in groups, in secret.
2:48
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, remained
2:51
in Mecca,
2:53
waiting for his Lord to grant him permission
2:56
to depart from Mecca
2:58
and migrate to Medina.
3:02
The migration of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, continued.
3:07
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
3:10
from al-Bara' bin 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
3:14
"The first of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to reach us
3:20
were Mus'ab bin 'Umayr and Ibn Umm Maktum.
3:23
They began teaching us the Qur'an.
3:26
Then came 'Ammar, Bilal, and Sa'd.
3:31
Then came 'Umar bin al-Khattab with twenty others,"
3:34
meaning twenty of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
3:39
Ibn Ishaq narrated in the Prophetic biography with a sound chain of narration
3:43
from 'Umar bin al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
3:47
"When we intended to migrate to Medina, I made an appointment,"
3:51
meaning I made an appointment with 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah
3:55
and Hisham bin al-'As bin Wa'il al-Sahmi,
3:58
at al-Tanadub, by the watering hole of Banu Ghifar above Saraf.
4:02
An "ada'ah" is a pool of water collected from a flood or otherwise.
4:06
"We said: 'Whoever of us does not arrive there by morning has been detained,
4:11
so the other two should proceed.' He said:
4:14
'I and 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah arrived by morning
4:18
at al-Tanadub, but Hisham was detained from us,
4:21
and he was put to trial, so he succumbed.'"
4:26
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, seeks permission
4:29
to migrate. Ibn Ishaq said:
4:32
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,
4:35
would often ask the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, for permission
4:40
to migrate, and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would say to him:
4:45
"Do not be hasty; perhaps Allah will provide you with a companion."
4:50
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, hoped
4:53
that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
4:56
would be that companion.
4:59
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
5:02
from the Mother of the Believers, 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,
5:05
who said: "Those who migrated
5:08
to Medina did so,
5:10
and most of those who had migrated
5:12
to the land of Abyssinia returned to Medina.
5:15
Abu Bakr also prepared to leave for Medina,
5:18
but the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to him:
5:22
'Wait,
5:24
for I hope that permission will be granted to me.'
5:27
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
5:30
'Do you hope for that? May my father be sacrificed for you!'
5:33
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
5:36
'Yes.'
5:38
So Abu Bakr restrained himself for the sake of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
5:43
to accompany him,
5:45
and he fed two she-camels he had with acacia leaves,
5:48
which is the 'khabt' [fodder],
5:50
for four months."

5:57
The longing of the worlds for one another has grown,
6:04
for the longing toward you has no fathomable end.
6:11
May Allah send blessings upon you whenever the call to prayer is raised,
6:17
and whenever lips move with the remainder of the remembrance.
