Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

we were in Yemen. So we went on board a ship but our ship took us away to al-
Najaashee in Abyssinia. There we met Ja`far Ibn Abu Ṭaalib and stayed with him till we
came (to al-Madeenah) by the time when the Prophet ﷺ had conquered Khaibar.
The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝O you people of the ship! You will have (the reward of) two
migrations.❞” 240
He (al-Bukhaaree) has also reported a longer Ḥadeeth, in another place in his
“Ṣaḥeeḥ”. 241
240 Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (3876)
241 I (al-Albaanee) say: Imaam Muslim only reported the longer Ḥadeeth in his “Ṣaḥeeḥ” (2502-169), only in one
place, under the heading: “Virtues of the Companions”, whereas, al-Bukhaaree reported the longer Ḥadeeth in his
“Ṣaḥeeḥ” in two places (3136, 4230, 4231), which will be mentioned later in this book, under the chapter:
“Conquest of Khaibar”.
[TN: Allaah have mercy on Shaikh al-Albaanee, he passed away before he could reach the chapter where Ibn
Katheer mentioned this Ḥadeeth in his “al-Seerah”. The following is the Ḥadeeth as reported in the Ṣaḥeeḥain:
Narrated Abu Moosaa ‏:رضيُاهللُعنه “We got the news of the migration of the Prophet ﷺ while we were in Yemen,
so we set out migrating to him. We were, I and my two brothers, I being the youngest, and one of my brothers
was Abu Burdah and the other was Abu Ruhm. We were over fifty (or fifty-three or fifty-two) men from our
people. We got on board a ship which took us to al-Najaashee in Abyssinia, and there we found Ja`far Ibn Abu
Ṭaalib and his companions with al-Najaashee. Ja`far said (to us): ‘Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ has sent us here and
ordered us to stay here, so you too, stay with us.’ We stayed with him till we all left (Abyssinia) and met the
Prophet ﷺ at the time when he had conquered Khaibar. He gave us a share from its booty. He gave only to
those who had participated in the conquest with him, but those who did not participate in Khaibar’s conquest, he
did not give any share to them except the people of our ship, besides Ja`far and his companions, whom he gave a
share as he did for them (i.e. the people of the ship).” [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (3136)]
Narrated Abu Moosaa ‏:رضيُاهللُعنه “The news of the migration of the Prophet ﷺ (from Makkah to al-Madeenah)
reached us while we were in Yemen. So we set out as emigrants towards him. We were (three) I and my two
brothers. I was the youngest of them, and one of the two was Abu Burdah, and the other, Abu Ruhm, and our
total number were either fifty-three or fifty-two men from my people. We got on board a boat and our boat took
us to al-Najaashee in Abyssinia. There we met Ja`far Ibn Abu Ṭaalib and stayed with him. Then we all came (to al-
Madeenah) and met the Prophet ﷺ at the time of the conquest of Khaibar. Some of the people used to say to
us – i.e. to the people of the ship – ‘We have preceded you in migrating (to al-Madeenah).’ Asmaa’ Bint `Umais,
who was one of those who had come with us (to Abyssinia), came as a visitor to Ḥafṣah, the wife the Prophet
she (Asmaa’) had migrated along with those other Muslims who had migrated to al-Najaashee. `Umar came ‏;ﷺ
to Ḥafṣah while Asmaa’ Bint `Umais was with her. `Umar, on seeing Asmaa,’ said: ‘Who is this?’ She said: ‘Asmaa’
Bint `Umais.’ `Umar said: ‘Is she the Ethiopian? Is she the sea-faring lady?’ Asmaa’ replied: ‘Yes.’ `Umar said: ‘We
have migrated before you (O people of the boat), so we have got more right than you over Allaah’s Messenger
who ﷺ On that Asmaa’ became angry and said: ‘No, by Allaah, while you were with Allaah’s Messenger ‏’.ﷺ
was feeding the hungry ones amongst you, and advised the ignorant ones amongst you, while we were in the faroff
hated land of Abyssinia, and all that was for the sake of Allaah and for the sake of Allaah’s Messenger ‏.ﷺ By
Allaah, I will not eat any food, nor drink anything till I inform Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ of all that you have said.
There we were harmed and frightened. I will mention this to the Prophet ﷺ and will not tell a lie or curtail your
saying or add something to it.’
