150 THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD salt-plain between two uplands and two lava-rock plains. That would either he Hajar or Yathrib.""' "He went on, 'The Messenger of God (SAAS) left for Medina accompanied by Aba Bakr. I had wanted to leave with him, but some young Quraysh men blocked my way. I remained up that night, not lying down, and they commented, "God has diverted h i from you through his stomach!" But I made no cornplaint, and they went to sleep. So I left, but some of them caught up with me after I had gone some way and wanted to take me hack. I told them, "If I were to give you some ounces of gold, would you let me go and be fair to me?" They did so and I followed them back to Mecca. I told them, "Dig beneath the threshold of the door; that's where the ounces of gold are. And if you go off to a certain woman, you can take two sets of vestments." "'So I left and joined the Messenger of God (SAAS) at Qubx' before be moved out from there. When he saw me he said, "Well, Aba Y&yq you made a good deal!" I replied, "0 Messenger of God, no one got here to you before me, so it could only be Gabriel, peace be upon him, who informed you!"'" Ibn Ishiiq stated, "Hamza b. 'Abd al-MutMb, Zayd b. Haritha, Aba Marthad Kamm b. al-Huwyn and his son Marthad, both of the Gbanawi tribe, allies of Hamza; Anasa and Aba Kabsha, freed-men of the Messenger of God (SAAS); all these stayed with Kultbm b. al-Hadm, brother of the Banii CAmr b. 'Awf, at Qub2. However, it is also said that they stayed with Sa'd b. Khaythama. It is stated, moreover, that Hamza stayed with As'ad b. Zum. But God knows best." He went on, "Wbayda b. al-Hitrith and his two brothers al-Tufayl and Huwyn, MisM b. Uthstba, Suwayhif b. Sa'd h. Huraymila, brother of the
IMAM ABU AL-FIDA' ISMA'IL IBN KATHiR 151 Muhammad b. 'Uhayd Allah, from N3ic, from Ibn 'Umar, who said, 'We arrived from Mecca and took up residence at al-'Usha, including 'Umar h. al-Khamh, Aha Wbayda h. al-Jarah, and Salim, freed-man of Aha Hudhayfa. It was Salim who acted as their Imam because he had greater knowledge of the Qur'm than the others."' Section: On the cause of the emigration of the Messenger of God (@AS). God Almighty revealed, "Say: 0 God, make my place of arrival good and make my place of departure good. And grant me an aid and authority from Yourself' (snrat Bani Isrz"il; XVII, v.80). And God did give him good guidance and inspired him to call out the above prayer to provide hi prompt relief and a rapid departure. The Almighty gave hi permission to migrate to the "Medina, the 'city', of the Prophet", where there were the anjar and friends, a place where he could make his home in security and whose people would he his helpers. Ahmad h. Hanhal, and 'Uthman h. Abii Shayha said, from Jarir, from %bns b. Ahn Zubynn, from his father, from Ihn 'Abbas, that the Messenger of God (SAAS) was at Mecca when he was ordered to migrate and there was revealed to hi the verse, "Say: 0 God, make my place of anival good, and make my place of departure good. And grant me an aid and authority from Yourself." Qamda said, "The phrase 'place of arrival' referred to Medina, while the words 'place of departure' referred to his emigration from Mecca. The words 'grant me an aid and authority from Yourself referred to God's hook and His ordinances and restrictions." Ihn Is@q stated, "The Messenger of God (SAAS) stayed on in Mecca after his supporters had emigrated, waiting for permission to be given to himself to leave. "There remained there with him only those (Muslims) who had been detained or who had apostatized, except for 'Ah, son of Abn Tdih, and Ahn Bakr b. Aha Quhafa, God bless them both. "Abn Bakr often asked the Messenger of God (SAAS) for permission to leave, but he would reply, 'Don't be in a hurry. God may well give you a companion.' And Abii Bakr hoped it would be him. "When Quraysh saw that the Messenger of God (SAAS) had assembled a party and bad supporters from others than their own people and from a town other than theirs, and saw his Companions moving out to join these others, they realized that the Muslims had found a new home with them and bad acquired their protection. "Quraysh were concerned that the Messenger of God (SAAS) would leave and join them, since they knew that he had decided to do battle with them. "They therefore gathered in the Dzr al-Nadwa, the house of assembly, the home of Qusayy h. Kilah, where all their decisions were made. They discussed
