"I was informed about the country of your emigration and it is Yathreb\,يثرب therefore whoever of you wants to migrate should go there." At this point and time the migration to Al Madeenah Al Munawwarah\ المدينة المنورة was not yet obligatory as in this Hadeeth, as it will become after the Migration of the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam to it. And they migrated.

7 7 Ebnu Eshaaq\ إبن إسحاق said: "The first of the Quraysh\ قريش to migrate to Al Madeenah\ المدينة from among the companions of the Messenger of Allaah Messenger Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam was one of Banoo Makhzoom\,بنومخزوم Aboo Salamah ben 'Abdu Al Asad ben Helaal ben 'Abdu Allaahe ben 'Umar ben Makhzoom \ أبوسلمة بن عبد األسد بن هالل بن عبد هللا بن عمر بن مخزوم whose first هللا.عبد \ Allaahe name was 'Abdu He went to Al Madeenah\ المدينة before the Pledge of Al 'Aqabah\ بيعة العقبة الثانية, having come to مكة Makkah\ the Messenger Messenger Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam in from Al Habashah\.الحبشة He migrated because the Quraysh\ قريش ill-treated him and he had heard that some of the Ansaar\ األنصار had accepted Islaam. My father Eshaaq ben Yasaar\ إسحاق بن يسار on the authority of Salamah\ سلمة who had it from his grandmother Ummu Salamah\ السيدة أم سلمة عليها السالم the wife of the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam told me that she said: "When Aboo Salamah\ أبوسلمة had decided to set out for Al Madeenah\ المدينة he saddled his camel for me and mounted me on it together with my son Salamah\ سلمة who was in my arms. Then he set out leading the camel. بنوالمغيرة When the men of Banoo Al Mugheerah ben 'Abdu Allaahe ben 'Umar ben Makhzoom (Some of the Unbelievers of her subclan of the tribe of Banoo بن عبد هللا بن عمر بن مخزوم \ Makhzoom\ (بنومخزوم saw him they got up and said: "So far as you are concerned you can do what you like; but what about your wife? Do you suppose that we shall let you take her away?" So they snatched the camel's rope from his hand and took me from him. Aboo Salamah's\ أبوسلمة family, the Banoo 'Abdu Al Asad\ عبد األسد,بنو were angry at this and said: "We will not leave our son with her seeing you have torn her from our tribesman." So they dragged at my little boy Salamah\ سلمة between them until they dislocated his arm, and أبوسلمة \ Salamah kept me with them, and my husband Aboo بنو المغيرة Mugheerah\ the Banoo Al. المدينة \ Madeenah went to Al Thus I was separated from my husband and my son. I used to go out every morning and sit in the valley weeping continuously until a year or so had passed when one of my cousins of Banoo Al Mugheerah \ بنو المغيرة passed and so my plight and took pity on me. He said to his tribesmen: "Why don't you let this poor woman go? You have separated husband, wife and child." So they said to me: "You can join your husband if you like." And then the Banoo 'Abdu Al Asad\ بنوعبد األسد restored my son to me.

8 8 So I saddled my camel and took my son and carried him in my arms. Then I set forth making for. المدينة \ Madeenah my husband in Al Not a soul was with me. I thought that I could get food from anyone I met on the road until I reached my husband. When I was in Al Tan'eem\ التنعيم (Seven kilomters north of Al Ka'bah\,الكعبة where Masjedu 'Aaeshah \ مسجد عائشة is standing today and people make Ehraam\ إحرام from there for 'Umrah\,(عمرة I met 'Uthmaan ben Talhah ben Aboo Talhah \ عثمان بن طيحة بن أبي طلحة (He had the key to the door of the,الكعبةka'bah and because he had no sons, before his death he gave the key to his brother Shaybah\,شيبة and the descendants of his brother شيبةShaybah have the key until today and will keep it until the day of Judgment: see Aayah fifty eight of Sooratu Al Nesaa-e\ النساء,(سورة of the tribe of 'Abdu Al Ddaar\ الدار,عبد who asked me where I was going and if I was all alone. I told him that except for Allaah\ هللا and my little boy I was alone. He said that I ought not to be left helpless like that and he took hold of the camel's halter and went along with me. Never have I met and Arab more noble than he. When we halted he would make the camel kneel for me and then withdraw. When we reached a stopping place he would lead my camel away, unload it, and tie it to a tree. Then he would go from me and lie down under a tree. When evening came he would bring the camel and saddle it, then go behind me and tell me to ride; and when I was firmly established in the saddle he would come and take the.المدينة Madeenah\ halter and lead it until he brought me to a halt. This he did all the way to Al When he saw a village of Banoo 'Amr ben 'Awf\ بنوعمروبن عوف in Qubaa-u\ قباء he said: "Your husband is in this village (Aboo Salamah\ أبوسلمة was actually there), so enter it with the ".هللا Allaah\ blessing of.مكة Makkah\ Then he went off on his way back to She used to say: "By Allaah\,هللا I do not know a family in Islaam which suffered what the family of Aboo عثمان بن did.

11 11 هجرة عمرUmar ' The Hejrah of Then, 'Umar ben Al Khattaab \ عمر بن الخطاب and 'Ayyaash ben Abee Rabee'ah Al.المدينة Madeenah\ went to Al عياش بن أبي ربيعة المخزومي \ Makhzoomee Naafe' \,نافع freedman of 'Abdu Allaahe ben 'Umar\ بن عمر,عبد told me that the latter informed him that his father عمرUmar ' said: "When we had made up our minds to migrate to Al Madeenah\,المدينة 'Ayyaash\,عياش Heshaam ben Al 'Aas ben Waa-el Al Sahmee\ بن العاص بن وائل السهمي,هشام and I made an appointment to meet at the torn-trees of Adaatu Banee Ghefaar\ أضاة بني غفار (Which is a creek twelve kilometers north of Makkah\ مكة on the road to Al Madeenah\,(المدينة above Saref\ سرف and we said: "If one of us fails to turn up there in the morning he will have been kept back by force and the other two must go on." 'Ayyaash\ عياش and I duly arrived there, but Heshaam\ هشام was kept back and succumbed to the temptation to apostatize. When we reached Al Madeenah\ المدينة we stayed with Banoo 'Amr ben 'Awf\ بنوعمروبنعوف in Qubaa-u\ ;قباء and Aboo Jahl\ أبوجهل and Al Haareth\ الحارث sons of Heshaam\,هشام came to 'Ayyaash\ عياش who was the son of their uncle and their maternal brother, while the Messenger of.مكة Makkah\ Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam was still in They told him that his mother had vowed that she would not comb her head or take shelter from the sun until she saw him. He felt sorry for her and I said to him: "This is nothing but an attempt to seduce you from your religion so beware of them; for by Allaah\ هللا if lice were causing your mother trouble she would use her comb, and if the heat of Makkah\ مكة oppressed her she would take shelter from it." But he said: "I will clear my mother from her oath; also I have some money there which I can get." I told him that I was one of the richest of the Quraysh\ قريش and he could have half my money if he refused to go with the two men. But when I saw that he was determined to go I said: "If you must go, then take this camel of mine. She is well bread and easy to ride. Don't dismount, and if you suspect them of treachery you can escape on her." The three went off and while they were on their way Aboo Jahl\ أبوجهل said: "Nephew, I find my beast hard to ride. Won't you mount me behind you?" When he agreed he and they made their camels kneel to make the change over, and when they were on the ground they fell on him and bound him securely and brought him to Makkah\ مكة and induced him to apostatize." هللا

She was an old woman, noble, and still strong. She was sitting in front of her hut, and she used to sell food and drink to the travellers. These four men had exhausted their provisions and they were hungry and thirsty. They asked Ummu أم معبدMa'bad to sell them milk (In other narrations dates) and meats, but could find none of that from her, and she said to them: "Wa Allaahe \ وهللا! If I had any of that, I would give it to you as the food and the drink of the guests, and you would not need to buy them." Then, the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam saw a young female sheep next to the hut, that was so skinny and physically weak that she remained behind from the flock when they went to pasture earlier in that morning.

27 أ" 27 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "Hal behaa men laban?" The Hadeeth means: "Does this sheep have milk?" She replied: "فهل بها من لبن " "She is weaker than that! On the other hand she was never mounted by a male and is not pregnant." The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: تأذنين لي أن أحلبها " "Ata'thaneene lee an ahlubahaa?" The Hadeeth means: "Do you allow me to milk her?" She said: "I ransome you with my father and mother, milk her if you can find milk with her." Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam asked her to bring the sheep to him and she did so, then he placed the two hind legs of the sheep between his two legs and two thighs, and wiped his noble hand on her udders and said:."!هللا Allaah\ "Besme Allaahe: In the Name of بسم هللا." The sheep divaricated its fron legs and her udders became full of milk. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam asked Ummu أم معبدMa'bad to bring him a container big enough to fill the bellies to milk the sheep with. A container was brought to him, and he filled with milk and gave it to Ummu Ma'bad أم معبد and أبوبكر she drank until her belly was full. Then he milked again and gave the milk to Aboo Bakr and to the other two men, and each one of them filled his belly. Then he milked again Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and drank the milk himself. "

28 28 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam was the last to drink and said: "Saaqee al qawme aakheruhun sharban" The Hadeeth means: "The man who gives drinks to others is the last to drink." "ساقي القوم آخرهم شربا." Then the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam milkeed again and each one of them drank a second time. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam milked again for a third time and handed the milk to Ummu أم معبدMa'bad and left it with her, and then they left." In another narration, Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said to Ummu Ma'bad :أم معبد "أرفعي هذا ألبي معبد إذا جائك." "Erfe'ee haathaa le Abee Ma'bad\ أبي معبد ethaa jaa-ake".

After some time, Ummu أم معبدMa'bad came to Al المدينةMadeenah together with a boy that had just reached the age of walking. This boy walked in front of the Masjed of the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam, and saw him on his pulpit/menbar said: addressing his congregation.

She said to him: "My son be careful, for he is the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam!"

"It is reported from Heshaam ben Hubaysh Al Ka'bee\ هشام بن حبيش الكعبي that he said: "I saw this sheep giving enough milk for Ummu أم معبدMa'bad and all of her relatives living around that water well."

Ummu أم معبدMa'bad described for him the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam, and her description of him is the best and complete description of the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam.

He washed his hands and his mouth and spitted out the water on a boxthorn (A little tree with thorns) tree that was at the side of the hut, and it became a large tree, and grew dates as large as it can be, with the color of Al Wares\ الورس (Red color), and the smell of the Ambar\ العنبر and the test of the honey. If a hungry person eats its dates, he will filled; if a thirsty person eats of its dates, his thirst will go away; a sick person who eats it will be healed. Every camel or sheep that eats of its leaves will produce plenty of milk. We used to call this tree "Al Mubaarakah\ The /المباركة Blessed". One morning we woke up and saw that all of its dates have fallen down on the ground and its leaves became yellow, and we became upset, and came to know that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had passed away. Then thirty years later, the tree started to grow thorns, and its yellow color was gone. We came to know that Ameeru Al Mu-meneena 'Alee\ أمير المؤمنين علي عليه السالم had been killed. It never gave fruits again. We still benefitted from its leaves. Then one morning we woke up and saw that soft blood was springing from its roots and its leaves witherthed. While we were upset and worried about this event, we received the news of the killing of Al Husayn\ عليه السالم,الحسين and at that the tree become totally dry and a peace of wood and it was dead." It is amazing how the affair of this tree did not become famous the way this sheep did! That is how he reported the affair of this tree and I took it from him." End quote.

After we had travelled one hundred thirty kilometers from,مكةmakkah we saw on the highway the exit to Sa'bar \ صعبر and Al Juhfah.الجحفة \ We took that exit to Sa'bar \ صعبر, which is seventeen kilometers away as written on that board. As soon as we enetered Sa'bar \ صعبر we had the luck to find an old man - for otherwise there was no one walking the street of the village or driving -, who was a local resident, who had just enetered his car and wanted to drive away. I got out of our car and waived to him and the old man stopped his car and waited for me. I stopped next to his window and asked him to give me directions to the location of "Ardu.أم معبد Ma'bad\ the land of Ummu,"أرض أم معبدMa'bad Ummu The old man said:."أم عبدAbad ' "It is called Ummu Then he gave us directions to that property. The old man was speaking his local dialect, and was missing many teeth in his mouth, and I could not understand all what he was saying I called,صالحsaaleh the owner of the taxi, and he joined me at the car window. I asked the old man to repeat the directions for my friend who understood his dialect. He gave him directions and added that it was fifteen or eighteen kilometers away, and that we should go back to the. صعبر \ Sa'bar road we came by to He further said: "When you reach the factory that produces the red bricks, take the road to the left, and that road."أرض أم معبدMa'bad will take you to "Ardu Ummu To be sure that what the old man told us, we went to the Police Station of the town, that was, أم معبد \ Ma'bad close by, but the police officers I talked to had never heard of the story of Ummu and they did not know what I was talking about. There were two police officers at the station. The red bricks factory."أرض أم معبدMa'bad We made a u-turn and on the road twice we asked about "Ardu Ummu The first group we talked to were in a kind of industrial structure that broke stones into pieces, and there were also huge mounds of sand. They said that they never have heard of this story, and the oldest of them said: "I live here since thirteen years, and never heard this story before now." The second group we talked to were men who were selling water melons on the side of the road, and they too told us that they had lived in that area for a long time and that they never heard of this story, in line with the first group.

41 41 When we reached the red bricks factory and before its main gate, there was a dirt road and we trurned left into that road. A car at a high speed was coming to our direction ande we stopped that car and asked its driver information on the land of Ummu Ma'bad\ معبد.أم The man said that he was coming from the chicken farm located at the end of the dirt road and that he was from جدةJeddah and never have heard about this story. We almost collided with other two cars that were speeding on the dirt road. After reaching the chicken farm at the end of the dirt road, we turned around and came at the main gate of the red brick factory. We came to an old man in a glass box operating the electrical main gate of the factory and talked to him. He had a long beard dyed red with Hennah. This old man knew the story of "Ardu Ummu أم معبدMa'bad and "أرض gave us directions and said: "Turn left on the dirt road passing in front of the main gate and it will take you to the location you are looking for, but I have never been there personally." The farm with plenty dogs We followed his directions and turned left on the dirt road, which ended in a farm closed by a wide gate. We drove into the farm, and were immediately surrounded by a large number of dogs, running beside and around our car and barking loudly. There was a house in the huge courtyard, and in front of it a small square surrounded by four walls that acted as sitting place for the people of the house. An old man in shorts, chewing tobacco and a young man of about thirty years got up from that space and came to us. We asked them about the farm of "Ummu 'Abad\ عبد "أم and the old man told us that it was next to his farm, but there was not a road that could take us there. He advised us to go back on our tracks and go back to highway and from there we could access it from near the bridge on the highway. He gave us directions on how to get there. That was somehow confusing. All the time we stayed in our car, for fear of dogs. مزرعة السمراء/ Samraa-a The farm Mazra'atu Al We went back to the old man in the red brick factory and told him what we went through. He picked the telephone next to him in his booth of glass and talked to man, and when he finished gave us the name of the man he talked to and his cellphone number. The man he talked to, as he explained to us, was the owner of the land of "Ummu أم معبدMa'bad ". Then, he gave us detailed direction on how to get to the farm of "Ummu أم معبدMa'bad ", and then said to us: "Go back and when you reach the bridge, immediately take the road to the left. After you drive a short while, you will see a farm on your left, and the farm you are looking for is located behind that farm. Keep going a little more until you reach the police check point. Before you go through the police check point, there is an opening that allowas you to make a u turn. Take that you turn.

42 42 This time the farm (On the highway) will be on your right hand side. Behind this farm is the land of "Ummu معبدMa'bad "أم and it is called "Ardu Ummu Ma'bad \ أرض أم معبد ". It is a land that is not farmed and there is nothing on it." End quote. We did so, and when we came at the bridge on the highway connecting Makkah Al Mukarramah we turned left. Now we were facing المدينة المنورة Munawwarah\ to Al Madeenah Al مكة المكرمة \ north to Al Madeenah\,المدينة and after a couple of hundred meters we saw a resting place and a gas station called "Mustahaatu Al 'Amoodee\ مستراحة العمودي " on our right hand side, and after this station the police check point. There we made a u-turn and now we were facing south and مكةMakkah. On our right side we saw the farm that were indicated to us by the old man in the box of the red bricks factory. There, at the gate of this farm was a board on which was written the name of the farm, the name of its owner and his address and cellphone number: "Mazara'atu Al Samraa-a le saahebehaa Al Doktoor Muhammad Ebraaheem Jabaarah Al Raaeqee \ مزرعة السمراء لصاحبها الدكتور محمد إبراهيم جبارة الرائقي, town of Khlays \ خليص cellphone number , Post Office number 21." See pictures. A barrier of dirt about a meter high and about one meter wide at the gate was preventing cars from entering the farm. We parked the car outside the farm and entered the farm on foot, and there we saw a house and a water well. We knocked at the door of the house and when no one responded, we said to ourselves that is because today is Friday, a holy day in a Muslim country. أم معبد Ma'bad\ The land of Ummu We went to the border of the farm Mazra'atu Al مزرعة السمراء/ Samraa-a adjacent to Ummu أم معبدMa'bad, and I used my camera to take some pictures of it. The farm is delimitated by tall trees and barbered wires. Between the tall trees grow small thorny trees. We saw camels grazing on the land of Ummu أم معبدMa'bad with two camel herders. We wanted to ask them how to get into the land and Saaleh \ صالح, the owner of the taxi whistled to them, but they far away to hear it. أم معبدMa'bad The search for an access road to the camel herders in Ummu We came back to our car and drove south towards Makkah Al Mukarramah\ المكرمة,مكة looking for an access road to the camels and camel herders in Ummu أم معبدMa'bad, and we could not find any. There were car tracks on a dirt road running through "Ummu أم معبدMa'bad ", but we could not find where this road started. Saaleh \ صالح put the car on a reverse gear and stopped at a location parallel to the grazing area of the camels.

43 43 We parked the car on the side of the highway and walked towards the camels. We found a place where the barbared wire was discontinued and we went through it. It was hard walking on this land, for it was invaded by termites and the ground was so soft like powder and my feet sank right into the ground to my knees. To get my feet and legs out of the ground required another efforts and some times my younger companion helped me out. We were scared of snakes living in these holes. We walked on this ground for about half a kilomter and we came to the borderline between "Al Samuraa-a\ "السمراء and "Ummu Ma'bad\ معبد."أم We went over the barbered wires, walked for about another half a kilometer and we came to the two men and their camels. أرض أم معبد \ Ma'bad Ardu Ummu We walked to the camel herders and asked them if this was the land of "The Two Huts of Ummu Ma'bad\ أم معبد,"خيمتي and they said: "Yes." We asked him if he knew the exact location of the huts of Ummu أم معبدMa'bad and he said: "It is said that they were near the trees, but I do not know the exact spot." We walked about half a kilomter to the threes, and there were no signs or any other indication of the huts. I called the owner of the property over the phone, and after introducing myself and informing him how I got his name and number, I asked him, among other things:?" خيمتي أم معبد \ located "Where were the two tents of 'Ummu Ma'bad He said: "About five hundred meters behind the trees on the western border of the farm Mazra'atu Al السمراء/ Samraa-a :"مزرعة that was approximately where I am standing: see the picture below." We came back to the two camel herders, and they gave us water to drink from a dusty militry flasks. We were thirsty and thanked them and drank the water. They were both from the Sudan\ السودان and were hired for this job, and told us that they had came to this country only recently. On the whole property, after every few steps, there were hand made canals to irrigate the land..مكة المكرمةMukarramah We came back to our car and drove back to Makkah Al On our way back we could not find a masjed to pray the Jumu'ah\ الجمعة,صالة on the highway, and prayed the Thuhur/Noon Prayer\ صالة الظهر in a masjed at a gas station. I came back home a little after 2:00 PM: I was away for this trip for about eight houres.

44 44 My conversation with the owner of "Ardu Ummu Macbad " today أم معبد \ After I offered my 'Asr prayer \ صالة العصر, I called 'Abdu Al 'Aalee \ عبد العالي but he did not pick up his phone. He returned my call at 19:30 in the evening in the same Friday. His cell phone number was After greeting him, I asked him if I could put some questions I had to him concerning his property of Ummu Ma'bad \ صالة العصر, and he said: "Yes." I said: "Is this property of yours the place where the two huts of Ummu Ma'bad \ أم معبد were located?" "That is what is said and it could be otherwise as well." I said: "What is the name of the property today?" He said: أم معبد \ Ma'bad, and "Ummu أم عبد 'Abad\ ". It is called "Ummu أم أعبد \ A'bad "Its name is "Ummu as it was originally called." I said: "What is its total area?" He said: "I did not visit this property for the last ten years, and I am not informed about its size." I said: "Are you the legal owner of this property?" He said: "Yes." I said: "When did you buy it?" He said: "I did not buy it, but inherited from my grandfathers. We inherited it from each other." I said: "What do you intend to do with this property?" He said: "I do not know. When it rains and floods come to it, I grow water melon on it, otherwise I will not farm it at all." I said: "Are you born of the tribe of?خزاعةkhuzaa'ah (For the tribe of خزاعةKhzaa'a used to live in this.(خزاعةkhuzaa'ah was born of the tribe of أم معبد \ Ma'bad land and its neighborhood, and Ummu He said: ".حربHarb "No, but I am of the tribe of I said: "Can I write your name and your cellphone number in my book about your property?"

To my estimation that is where I was standing in his property or close to it: see photo below. He asked me if my book was already published, and told him that I was working on it.

62 62 (Of Tuesday) when it became hot. I looked around te see if there was a shade we could go to. I saw a mountain and I came to it, and found that it had some shade left. I prepared the ground under that shade, levelled it and cleaned it. Then I put a mat made of animal hide - usually the hide of a sheep - that had its hair on it for the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and said to him: "Now you sleep O Messenger of Allaah - Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam". He slept. I left and looked around if there was anyone on our pursuit, and I saw a shepard coming toward this same mountain, looking for the same thing that brought us here, namely the shade. I asked the shepard: "O young man, Who is your master?" He said:." قريش \ Quraysh "A man from He said to me the name of that man, and I recognized him. Then I said: "Does these sheep have milk?" He said: "Yes". I said: "Would you milk it for me?" He said: "Yes." I asked him to milk the sheep for me. He got hold of one of his sheep. I asked him to clean the dirt from the udder of the sheep, and then I asked him to clean the dirt from his two hands, and he hit one of his hands on the other several times. He milked for me a little of milk. I was carrying with me water in a leather bag sealed with a cloth at its mouth that I made pure for the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam, to drink and for him to wash for prayer (Al Wudoo\.(الوضوء I came to the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa Sallam and I did not want to wake him up.

He drank the milk until I was satisfied of the amount he drank of it. The he said: "Isn't it time for us to go?" I said: "Yes." We left after the sun crossed the zenith to the west (early Afternoon)." End quotation. Some scholars reported that after leaving the huts of Ummu Ma'bad\ معبد,أم the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam, Aboo Bakr\ أبوبكر and their two هللا,عبد بن أريقط \ Urayqet and 'Abdu Allaahe ben عامر بن فهيرة Fuhayrah\ companions, 'Aamer ben

63 63 traveled the whole night and the next day until noon time and then they slept and rested in this place at the shade of this mountain, and Allaah\ هللا only knows the truth. I am standing on "Ardu Ummu Ma'bad\ أم معبد "أرض when taking this picture: on the horizon there عبد are mountains. The owner of the property 'Abdu Al 'Aalee Muhammad 'Alee Al Jeghthamee said to me over the telephone: "My father used to go frequently to a cave in العالي محمد علي الجغثمي \ a mountain there and spend time there." Did Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa أبوبكر الصديق رضي هللا عنه Sseddeeq\ 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and his companion Aboo Bakr Al spent the night in this cave after departing from the two huts of Ummu أم معبدMa'bad? 'I put this question to the owner of the property and he said that he doesn't know. We did not find a road that will lead us to this dirt road that seem takes to the mountain, and it was too far for us to walk. Maybe we had to go through other properties and trespass, and we did not want to do that. Or is this mountain the one where the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam slept at its shadow for some time, as in the above story with the black shepard?

64 64 أم معبد Ma'bad\ to Ummu غار ثور Thawr\ The speed of the camel from Ghaaru From the above Hadeeths of Ahmad\ أحمد and ebnu Sa'd\ إبن سعد we take: (One) The above Hadeeth of Aboo Bakr Al Sseddeeq\ الصديق,أبوبكر may هللاAllaah be pleased with him by Al Emaam Ahmad\ اإلمام أحمد رضي هللا عنه reported that they were travelling from the night of Sunday to Monday to Tuesday. (Two) The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had an encounter with Suraaqah ben Maalek\ سرافة بن مالك المدلجي الكناني on Tuesday, as reported by Ebnu.إبن سعد Sa'd\ (Three) The story of "Ummu Ma'bad\ أم معبد took place in the morning, afternoon or early evening of Monday, for Ummu Ma'bad \ أم معبد was alone in her hut and her husband Aboo Ma'bad\ أبومعبد was away tending to their sheep. The sheep and all other livestock are brought to the pasture in the morning and brought back home in the early evening and before sunset, as in :سورة النحل Nahle\ this story and as in the Aayah six of Sooratu Al {(و ل ك م ف يه ا ج م ال ح ين ت ر يح ون و ح ين ت س ر ح ون )6()} The Aayah means: "And you have a sense of pride and beauty in them as you drive them home in the evening. and as you lead them forth to pasture in the morning(6)." (Quraan: 16:6). This means that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and his companions came to Ummu Ma'bad \ أم معبد performed the miracles with the sheep and the tree and left her before evening, when Aboo Ma'bad\ أبومعبد brought his sheep back home from the pastures. I googled the speed of the camels and they say that it is forty kilometers per hour (40/h). This means that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and his companions were traveling at high speed starting from the night of Sunday to Monday and after the sun had set down and it became night to Monday morning or noon time when he arrived at the two huts of Ummu Ma'bad \ أم معبد. Here Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had some physical rest from riding the camel, and after he finished his business there he left, as reported in the Hadeeth of Aboo Bakr Al أبوبكر الصديقSseddeeq may Allaah هللا be pleased with him. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam could have مكة travelled the distance of one hundred thirty kilometers between Makkah Al Mukarramah easily in few hours, although they were travelling in the desert أم معبد Ma'bad\ to Ummu المكرمة \ with sand big dunes, mountains and mountain passes that might slow them. The darkness of the night played also a role.

65 65 (Four) After they had left Ummu Ma'bad\ معبد,أم they travelled the whole night of Mondy to Tuesday and until Tuesday morning, when they met with the shepard, who offered them some milk, and the Messenger of Allaah had his first sleep from "Ghaaru Thawr\ ثور in "غار Makkah Al.مكة المكرمة \ Mukarramah (Five) After the encounter with the shepard, there comes the encounter with Suraaqah ben Maalek Al Jush'amee Al Kenaanee\ بن مالك الجشعمي الكناني,سراقة as we will see below inshaa-a.إن شاء هللا تعالى Ta'aalaa\ Allaahu Other scholars said that the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam encountered Suraaqah ben سراقة بن مالكMaalek first and then Ummu Ma'bad\ معبد,أم both in Waadee Qudayd\ قديد.وادي This changes nothing on the equation of the Hejrah\.الهجرة Only Allaah truth. knows the هللا This Suraaqah ben سراقة بن مالكMaalek is of the tribe of Banee Kenaanah \.بني Their tribe get their name from Kenaanah ben Khuzaymah\ كنانة بن خزيمة who is the the grandfather number thirteen of Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam. Kenaanah who is the grandfather النضر بن كنانة Kenaanah\ had a son, and his name is Al Nadru ben كنانة number twelve of Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam. Al مالك بن had a son and his name was Maalek ben Al Nadru النضر بن كنانة \ Kenaanah Nadru ben who is the grandfather number eleven of Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa النضر \ 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam. Maalek \ مالك بن النضر had a son whose name is Quraysh\,قريش who is the grandfather number ten of Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa.قريش Quraysh\ Sallam and the father of all of the كنانة غزوة بدرBadr at إبليس Eblees\ and قريشQuraysh,سراقة \ Suraaqah كنانة Banuu Kenaanah\ بنو used to live between Makkah Al Mukarramah\ مكة المكرمة and Al.مكة Makkah\ and their habitations were closer to,المدينة المنورة Munawwarah\ Madeenah Al When Quraysh \ قريش had finished their preparations to go to Badr\ بدر - located between Makkah\ \ مكة and Al Madeenah\ المدينة -, and decided to start, they remembered the quarrel there was between them and Banee Bakr ben 'Abu Manaat ben Kenaanah\ بكر بن عبد منة بن كنانة,بني and were afraid that they would attack them in the rear, and it almost deterred them from starting. However Eblees\ إبليس appeared to them in the form of Suraaqah ben Maalek ben Ju'shum Al Mudlajee Al Kenaanee\ بن مالك الجشعمي المدلجي الكناني,سراقة who was one of the chiefs of Banoo Kenaanah\,بنوكنانة saying: "I will guarantee that Kenaanah\ كنانة will not attack you in the rear." So they went off speedily to Badr\,بدر where they were destroyed by the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam.

66 66 At the Battle of Badr\ بدر,غزو also, Eblees\ إبليس came to the battlefield in the form of Suraaqah ben Maalek ben Jush-'um Al Mudlejee, Al Kenaanee \ سراقة بن مالك الجشعمي المدلجي الكناني, pushing the Unbelievers of Makkah\ مكة to fight the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and his companions. Then, Eblees\ إبليس saw what the humans cannot see, namely the angels coming down from the sky to support the Muslims and destroy the Unbeliever. When he saw that, Eblees \ إبليس, turned on his heels and ran away for his life, as reported by Aayah forty eight of Sooratu Al :سورة األنفال Anfaale\ م م ن الن اس و ا ن ي ج ار ل ك م ف ل م ا ت ر اء ت ال ف ئ ت ان ن ك ص } و ا ذ ز ي ن ل ه م الش ي ط ان أ ع م ال ه م و ق ال ل غ ال ب ل ك م ال ي و ن إ ن ي أ خ اف الل ه و الل ه ش د يد ال ع ق ا ب )48(} ع ل ى ع ق ب ي ه و ق ال إ ن ي ب ر يء م ن ك م إ ن ي أ ر ى م ا ل ت ر و The Aayah means: "Remember Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them and said: "No one among men can overcome you this day, while I am near to you." But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he turned on his heels, and said: "Lo! I am clear of you; lo! I see what you see not; Lo! I fear Allaah\,اهلل for اهللAllaah is strict in punishment(48)." (Quraan 8:48). Ebnu Eshaaq\ إبن إسحاق said: "When he turned on his heels on the day of Badr\ بدر,يوم Quraysh\ قريش said to him: "Where are going, O Suraaqah\ "?سراقة And the enemy of اهللAllaah (Eblees\ (إبليس lay on the. إبن إسحاق \ Eshaaq ground and disappeared". End quotation of Ebnu Al Baghawee\ البغوي in the tafseer\ تفسير البغوي of this Aayah said: "When he saw him running away, Al Haarethu ben Heshaam\ الحارث بن هشام said to him: "Are you running away without fighting?" And holf unto him. إبليسEblees hit him on the chest and run away, and Quraysh\ قريش was defeated and destroyed.

He sweared to them that he did not. When they became Muslims, they become aware that it was Eblees\ إبليس who had come to them." End quote.

67 67 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and سراقة بن مالك الجشعمي \ Maalek Suraaqah ben Ebnu Eshaaq \ إبن إسحاق said: عبد الرحمن بن مالك بن told me that 'Abdu Al Rahmaan ben Maalek ben Jush'um الزهري Zuhree\ "Al سراقة بن مالك بن told him from his father, from his uncle Suraaqah ben Maalek ben Jush'um جشعم \ said: جشعم \ "When the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam migrated, Quraysh\ قريش offered a reward of a hundred camels to anyone who would bring him back.while I was sitting in my people's assemembly one of our men came up and stopped saying: "By Allaah\,!وهللا I've just seen three riders passing. I think they must be Muhammad\ محمد and his companions." I gave him a wink enjoyning silence and said: "They are the so-and-so looking for a lost camel." "Perhaps so", he said and remained silent. I remained there for a short while; then I got up and went to my house and ordered my horse to be got ready, for it was thethered for me in the bottom of the valley. Then I asked for my weapons and they broughtb from the back of the room. Then I took my divining arrows and went out, having put on my armour. ال Then I cast the divining arrows and out came the arrow which I did not want: "Do him no harm "!يضره I did the same again and got the same result. I was hoping to bring him back to Quraysh\ قريش so that I might win the hundred camels reward. I rode in pursuit of him and when my horse was going at a good pace he stumbled and threw me. I thought this was somewhat unusual so I resorted to the divining arrows again and out came the detestable "Do not harm يضرهhim ".ال But I refused to put off and rode on in pursuit. Again my horse stumbled and threw me, and again I tried the arrows with the same result. I rode on, and at last as I saw the little band my horse stumbled with me and its forelegs went into the ground and I fell. Then as it got its legs out of the ground smoke arose like a sandstorm. When I saw that, I knew that he was protected against me and would have the upper hand.

68 68 (Al Bukhaaree\ البخاري reported that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "Allaahumma asre'hu" Which means: "O Allaah\ هللا bring him down!") I called to them saying: أللهم أصرعه." "I am Suraaqah ben بن جشعمJush'um!سراقة Wait for me, for I want to talk to you, for by Allaah I do not suspect you to have ill intentions towards me, and nothing that you may dislike or وهللا harm you will come from me to you.

For Allaah\ هللا will test you by this; and on the Day of Judegement He will certainly make clear to you (the truth of) that wherein you disagree(92)." (Quraan 16:92). This woman was wealthy and not very intelligent. She used to hire a number of women to weave clothes for her, from the morning to the evening, then at the end of the day she would order them to undo what they had woven during the whole day.

The treaty between the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa سراقة بن مالك \ Maalek Sallam and Suraaqah ben Al Zarqaanee\ الزرقاني said: "Ebnu Murdawayh\ إبن مردويه and ebnu Haatem\ إبن حاتم reported from Al Hasan\,الحسن from :سراقة Suraaqah\ "فبلغني أنه يريد أن يبعث خالد بن الوليد إلى قومي فأتيته فقلت: :أحب أن توادع قومي فإن أسلم قومك أسلموا وإال آمنت منهم." فأخذ صلى هللا عليه وسلم بيد خالد فقال: "اذهب معه فافعل ما يريد." فصالحهم خالد أن ال يعينوا على رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه وسلم وإن أسلمت قريش أسلموا معهم." فكان من وصل إليهم كان معهم على عهدهم.

76 76 The Hadeeth means: "I came to know that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam - while in Je'raanah\ الجعرانة (Twenty two kilometers north of Makkah\,(مكة and after the Victory over Makkah\ مكة,فتح the Battle of Hawaazen\ غزوة هوازن \حنين and the Battle of Al Taa-ef - had the intention to send a company of fighters commanded by Khaaled ben Al غزوة الطائف \ Waleed\ خالد بن الوليد to my own people, and I came to him and said: "I would love that you get into an agreement with my tribe: if your tribe accepts Islaam my tribe will do likewise.

The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam hold unto the hand of Khaaled \ خالد بن الوليد and said: "Go with him, and do whatever he wants." The Quraan that came down about this treaty خالدKhaaled made an agreement with them that they would not ally themselves with other tribes against the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam; and that if Quraysh\ قريش would become Muslem, they too would become Muslems together with them. فأنزل هللا: ق و م ه م و ج اء وك م ح ص ر ت ص د ور ه م أ ن ي ق ات ل وك م أ و ي ق ات ل وا م ب ي ن ك م و ب ي ن ه م م يث اق أ {) إ ل ال ذ ين ي ص ل ون إ ل ى ق و ا إ ل ي ك م الس ل م ف م ا ج ع ل الل ه ل ك م ع ل يه م و ل و ش اء الل ه ل س ل ط ه م ع ل ي ك م ف ل ق ات ل وك م ف إ ن اع ت ز ل وك م ف ل م ي ق ات ل وك م و أ ل ق و س ب ي ل )93(} Then هللاAllaah revealed Aayah ninety of Sooratu Al Nesaa-e\ النساء,:سورة which means: "Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (Of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people.

Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (Instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then هللاAllaah has opened no way for you (to war against them)." (Quraan 4:90).

The gif the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam to كسرى Kesraa\ the jewels of :سراقة Suraaqah\ Al Zarqaanee\ الزرقاني further said: وفي الحديث: أنه صلى هللا عليه وسلم قال لسراقة: "كيف بك إذا لبست سواري كسرى " In the Hadeeth is reported that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe :سراقة Suraaqah\ wa Sallam said to "How would you feel when you will wear the jewels of Kesraa\ "?كسرى End quote. The Propmise of Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam سراقة بن مالك بن جشعم المدلجيMudlejeyye to Suraaqah ben Maalek ben Jush'um Al The reason عمرUmar ' gave the crown and the bracelets of Kesraa\ كسرى to سراقةSuraaqah was the following. Al Suhaylee\ السهيلي said: When سراقةSuraaqah became Muslim, the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam gave him the glad tidings that هللاAllaah will make him victorious over the kingdom of Persia and told him that he will get the spoils of war of Kesraa \ كسرى, the king of Persia. سراقةSuraaqah said to himslef: "How it is possible that I will deafeat Kesraa \ كسرى the king of Persia and get his wealth?" سراقةSuraaqah said: "Do you mean كسرىKesraa the king of the kings?" The Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam told him that he will get the jewels of كسرىKesraa, to underline the promise.

78 78 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said to him: "يا سراقة كيف بك إذا وضع تاج كسرى على رأسك و إسواره في يديك " "Yaa سراقةSuraaqah kayfa beka ethaa wude'a taaju Kesraa 'alaa ra-seka wa eswaaruhu fee yadayka?!" The Hadeeth means: "O Suraaqah \ سراقة! What do you say when the crown of Kesraa \ كسرى is placed on top of your head and his bracelets on your arms?! دالئل in his book "Dalaa-elu Al Nubuwwah,البيهقي Bayhaqee\ The Hadeeth was also reported by Al 3/131. النبوة \ كسرى Kesraa\ and the crown of سراقة Suraaqah\,عمر 'Umar\ The crown of Kesraa \ كسرى, the king of Persia, was too heavy for his neck to sustain it. The crown was hanging from the roof of the throne by a gold chain. The crown was the size of the grain measure called Al Qanqalu\,القنقل whic had the capacity of thirty three Man\ من. Each Man \ من was two pounds, therefore it had the capacity of sixty pounds of grains. The crown was made of gold, covered with precious stones such as Yaaqoot\ :ياقوت rubies sapphires, Pearls, Zabarjad\ :زبرجد acquamarine and Silver, and it was covered with a cloth. When كسرىKesraa sits on his throne, the cloth was removed from the crown and he would insert his head in the it. When the cloth is removed from the crown, a person who had never seen it before, would simply go on his knees like camels do, because of the beauty of the crown, and that is what Sayf ben Thee Yazen \ سيف بن ذي يزن, the future king of Al Yaman\ اليمن did when he saw it the first time, and went on his knees as camels do. After the conquest of the Munslims of Al Madaa-en \ المدائن in Al 'Eraaq\,العراق the capital of the Persian Empire in the month of Safar \ صفر of the year sixteen of the Hejrah\,الهجرة the crown of Kesraa\ كسرى Yazdajerd ben Shahreyaar, \ كسرى يزدجرد بن شهريار was brought to Ameeru Al Mumeneena Aboo Hafs 'Umar ben Al Khattaab \ أمير المرمنين أبو حفصة عمر بن الخطاب, may Allaah\ هللا be pleased with him as spoils of war.

He had long arms, and عمرUmar ' placed the crown on top of his head and said to him: الحمد هلل "Raise your hands and say Al Hamdu le Allaahe \ /Praise and Thanks to هللاAllaah, the هللاAllaah that has removed the crown of Kesraa \ كسرى the man who used to say that he is the

79 79 Lord of the people from his head, and put it on top of the head of an Arab beduin of the tribe of Banee Mudlej \ بني مدلج, and that was achieved by the might and power of Islam, and not by our power or might." سراقةSuraaqah said that. The encounter of the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and the black shepard Al Bayhaqee \ البهقي further reported from Qays ben Al Nnu'maanu\ قيس بن النعمان that he said: "When the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam left Makkah\ مكة in secret together with Aboo,أبوبكرBakr they passed by a black slave sheparding sheep, and they asked him for milk. The shepard said: "I do not have a sheep that can be milked, but there is that sheep that delivered a dead child last year, and she has no more milk. The Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "Ad'u behaa", The Hadeeth means: "Call her." "أدع بها." He called her and she came. The Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam put her hindlegs between his legs and wiped his hands over her udders, and made some invocations. Her udders became full of milk. Aboo أبوبكرBakr brough a shield and the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam milked in it and filled it with milk and gave it to Aboo أبوبكرBakr who drank the milk. Then Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam milked the sheep for a second time and gave the milk to the shephard. Then Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam milked for a third time and drank the milk himself. At that the shephard said: "By!هللاAllaah Who are you? By هللاAllaah I never saw someone like you before now!" Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "أوتراك تكتم علي حتى أخبرك " "Awataraaka taktumu 'alayya hattaa ukhberaka?" The Hadeeth means: "Would keep it secret if I tell you?" He said: "Yes."

80 80 Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "فإني محمد رسول هللا." "Fa ennee Muhammadun Rasuula Allaahe", The Hadeeth means: "I am Muhammad\,محمد the Messenger of Allaah." The shepard said: "Are you the man that the Quraysh \ قريش said that he had left their religion?" Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "إنهم ليقولون ذلك." "Innahum la yaqooloona thaaleka". The Hadeeth means: ""it is them who say that," because the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam was never in their religion in the first place to leave it, so their words are a lie. The shepard said: "I bear witness that you are a Prophet, and that what brought is True. What you did cannot be done but by a Prophet. I am leaving the herd and will come with you right now." Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "إنك لن تستطيع ذلك يومك فإذا بلغك أني قد ظهرت فأتنا." "Ennaka lan tastatee'a thaaleka yawmaka, fa ethaa balaghaka annee qad thahartu fa 'atenaa." The Hadeeth means: "It will be very hard on you to come with me now, and when you hear that I am preching openly to the people, than join us." The reason it will be hard on the shepard to follow the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam is that if does so, his people will come after him and will prevent him from following him, and they will punish him too. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam wanted to save all of this harship to this shepards His encounter Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam with Al Zubayru ben 'Awwaamu الزبير بن العوام \ عروة reported from 'Urwah البخاري Bukhaaree\ Al \ ) that the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam, while on the road to Al Madeenah Al Munawwarah\ المدينة المنورة in the Hejrah\ الهجرة met with the son of his aunt (Safeyyatu bentu بن الزبير (ben Al Zuabyru \
