salaah, Rasulullaah @& sat on thk pulpit for a while and said, "0 people! What is

well)." (')

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas 3933% says, "We reached Rasulullaah @?&$ five
years after he had made Hijrah and were with the Quraysh when they marched
during the year in which the Battle of Ahzaab was fought. I was with my brother
Fad1 and our slave Abu Raafi was with us. When we reached a place called Arj, we
lost our way -and instead of taking the Rakooba road, we took the Jathjaatha
road. We eventually arrived in the locality of the Banu Arnr bin Awf (Quba) from
where we entered Madinah. We found Rasulullaah &@% in the trench (that was
dug around Madinah). I was then eight years old while my brother was
thirteen."(2)
