HADRAT ABU BAKR<br />
After several days of travel, about two or three miles from<br />
Yathrib, they arrived at a place called Quba’ and stayed there.<br />
Having arrived at Quba’, <strong>Hadrat</strong> <strong>Abu</strong> <strong>Bakr</strong> ra finally breathed a sigh<br />
of relief. The news that the Holy Prophet sa had arrived at Quba’<br />
quickly reached Yathrib, and people came out to meet him. As<br />
many people had not yet met the Holy Prophet sa , they could not<br />
tell which of the two of them, was the Messenger of Allah. When<br />
<strong>Hadrat</strong> <strong>Abu</strong> <strong>Bakr</strong> ra realised that people mistakenly believed that he<br />
was the Prophet of God, he got up and used a sheet to provide shade<br />
for the Holy Prophet sa . Thus the people were able to recognize the<br />
Holy Prophet sa . 15<br />
<strong>Hadrat</strong> ‘Ali ra also came to meet the Holy Prophet sa at Quba’.<br />
Here, the Holy Prophet sa built a mosque. After staying in Quba’ for<br />
a few days, the Holy Prophet sa went on to Yathrib. This place, blessed<br />
by being chosen by the Holy Prophet sa as his future home, was ever<br />
afterwards known as Madinatun-Nabi (City of the Prophet), or<br />
Madinah.<br />
