So I sat on my camel, then I caught up with the city. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was waiting to be given permission to migrate, and his companions from the Migrants had already arrived. Abu Bakr also stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , waiting to be given permission to go with him. Abu Bakr had asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to migrate, and he said, "Do not hasten, perhaps Allah will make you a companion." Abu Bakr hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant himself. Abu Bakr had already prepared two riding animals for that purpose in his house.
