Prophet Hijra (Part 1)

DDHK.ORG - After there was a unanimous decision to kill the Prophet , Jibril descended to him with a revelation from Allah swt, while reporting the conspiracy of the Quraysh and that Allah had allowed him to go and set the time of hijrah, saying, "Do not sleep in your bed tonight like usually."

At noon the Prophet met Abu Bakr ra to accompany him on the hijra. Aisha related this incident by saying, "While we were sitting at Abu Bakr's house in the morning, suddenly someone said to Abu Bakr, "This is the Messenger of Allah who is wearing a cloth covering his face. It's unusual for him to see us at a time like this."

Abu Bakr said, "By my father and mother are the guarantee. By Allah, he does not come to me at times like this except for an important matter."

After arriving in front of Abu Bakr's house, he asked for permission, then entered the house after Abu Bakr allowed him. The Messenger of Allah said to Abu Bakr, "Get out of this place of yours."

“This is a will that can actually result in death. For the sake of my father be your guarantee, O Messenger of Allah," said Abu Bakr.

He said, "I have been allowed to go."

"For my father to be your guarantee, O Messenger of Allah, should I accompany you?" asked Abu Bakr.

"Yes," replied the Prophet .

After planning the steps for hijrah, he returned to his house, waiting for the night to come. [Taken from the book Ar-Rahiqul Makhtum (Sirah Nabawiyah), by Shaykh Shafiyyurrahman Al Mubarakfuri] [DDHKNews]
