[Machine] The wife of the Prophet ﷺ , Sawdah, said, "When Mecca became narrow for us and the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were persecuted and afflicted with trials and they saw the afflictions and trials they were facing in their religion, and that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ could not protect them from it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in a state of boycott by his people and his relatives, where nothing reached him that he disliked but affected his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, 'Verily, in the land of Abyssinia, there is a king who does not oppress anyone under his rule. So go there until Allah opens for you a way out and a place of refuge from what you are in.' So, we emigrated to it in groups until we gathered and settled in a good land, with a good neighbor. We were safe in our religion and did not fear any injustice from him." And the hadith mentioned its entirety.  

سَلَمَةَ ؓ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَمَّا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْنَا مَكَّةُ وَأُوذِيَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفُتِنُوا وَرَأَوْا مَا يُصِيبُهُمْ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَالْفِتْنَةِ فِي دِينِهِمْ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ دَفْعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَنَعَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَعَمِّهِ لَا يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يَكْرَهُ مَا يَنَالُ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ مَلِكًا لَا يُظْلَمُ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَهُ فَالْحَقُوا بِبِلَادِهِ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ اللهُ لَكُمْ فَرَجًا وَمَخْرَجًا مِمَّا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَيْهَا أَرْسَالًا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعْنَا وَنَزَلْنَا بِخَيْرِ دَارٍ إِلَى خَيْرِ جَارٍ أَمِنَّا عَلَى دِينِنَا وَلَمْ نَخْشَ مِنْهُ ظُلْمًا وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with the pilgrims in their dwellings for ten years during the seasons of Mijannah, 'Ukaz, and their dwellings in Mina. He asked, "Who will provide refuge and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord? For him is Paradise." However, he did not find anyone who would provide refuge and support him, until a man from Makkah or Yemen would enter his companion's dwelling, and his people or relatives would warn him, saying, "Beware of this young man from Quraysh, he will harm you. He walks among your bags and invites you to Allah, pointing at him with his finger." Then Allah sent a man from Yathrib who believed in him and recited the Quran to him. He returned to his people and they embraced Islam until there was no house left in Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly declared their faith. Then Allah sent for him and we met and gathered seventy of us and said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah be driven away in the mountains of Makkah and fear? So we traveled until we reached him during the season. We made an appointment with the people of 'Aqabah and gathered there one man, then two men, until we met him there. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should we pledge allegiance to you?" He replied, "Pledge allegiance to me in hearing and obedience, in times of ease and difficulty, in hardship and ease, in commanding the good and forbidding the evil, and that you will not blame me for the sake of Allah, regardless of what happens. And that you will support me if I come to you in Yathrib and will protect me from that which you protect yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise." So we said, "We pledge allegiance to you." He took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, the youngest of the seventy men except me, and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not struck the liver of a camel except that we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah and that his leaving today means the separation of all the Arabs and the killing of your best men. And the swords will bite you. But as for you, you are a people who can bear the biting of swords, the killing of your best men, and the separation of all the Arabs. Take him, and your reward is with Allah. But as for you, you fear for yourselves and hesitate, so leave him. He is the most careful for your sake in the sight of Allah." So they said, "Hold your hand, O As'ad bin Zurarah. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor will we resign from it." So we stood up and approached him, one by one, agreeing to his conditions and receiving the promise of Paradise in return.

"The Prophet ﷺ was in Makkah, then Hijrah was ordered, so the following was revealed to him: Say: 'My Lord! Let my entry be good, and likewise my exit be good. And grant me from You a helping authority (17:80).'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3139)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ فَأُمِرَ بِالْهِجْرَةِ وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ {وَقُلْ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَاجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطَانًا نَصِيرًا} [الإسراء 80]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, while he was in Mecca, to the Muslims, "I have seen the home of your migration. I was shown a valley with two mountains, and they are the two Harats. So whoever migrates before the city (of Medina) is mentioned, let him migrate." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned that, some of the Muslims who had migrated to the land of Abyssinia returned to Medina. Abu Bakr also prepared himself for migration. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Go, for I hope that permission will be granted to me." Abu Bakr said, "And do you hope that with your father and mother?" He said, "Yes." So Abu Bakr confined himself for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for his company and he tethered his two riding animals and gathered dry leaves for them for four months.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَكَّةَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ دَارَ هِجْرَتِكُمْ أُرِيتُ سَبْخَةً ذَاتَ نَخْلٍ بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْنِ وَهُمَا الْحَرَّتَانِ فَهَاجَرَ مَنْ هَاجَرَ قِبَلَ الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بَعْضُ مَنْ كَانَ هَاجَرَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَتَجَهَّزَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ مُهَاجِرًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لِي فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَتَرْجُو ذَلِكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي قَالَ نَعَمْ فَحَبَسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِصَحَابَتِهِ وَعَلَفَ رَاحِلَتَيْنِ عِنْدَهُ وَرَقَ السَّمُرِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ  

[Machine] I heard Al-Bara' saying, "The first to come to us from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were Mus'ab bin 'Umair and Ibn Umm Maktum, and they used to recite the Quran for us. Then 'Ammar bin Yasir, Bilal, and Sa'd came. After them, 'Umar bin al-Khattab came, and among them were members of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the twenties. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and I have never seen the people of Medina so delighted with anything as they were delighted with the arrival of the Prophet ﷺ . I saw Al-Walid and the children running in the streets saying, ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come.’" He said, "As soon as we entered Medina, I recited, 'Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Highest.' in a similar Surah."
