The Prophet’s Sirah • Series 7

The Hijrah to Madinah

From the Cave of Thawr to Quba’: The Journey That Changed History, According to the Qur’an and Authentic Hadith

In the burning heat of midday, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with his head covered to Abu Bakr’s house bearing news: “I have been given permission to leave.” The seventh book of The Prophet’s Sirah follows three nights in the Cave of Thawr, the coastal road, Suraqah’s sinking horse, the welcome at Quba’ and the first bricks of the Prophet’s Mosque — with popular stories graded for authenticity. “What do you think of two whose third is Allah?”

What You Will Learn

Why the hijrah — the Companions who went ahead, Umm Salamah and Suhayb, and the Quraysh plot at Dar an-Nadwah (Al-Anfal 8:30).
Midday at Abu Bakr’s house — the long hadith of ‘A’ishah (Sahih al-Bukhari 3905) and Asma’ Dhat an-Nitaqayn (Sahih al-Bukhari 3907).
The Cave of Thawr — “Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us” (At-Taubah 9:40; Sahih al-Bukhari 3653), and the status of the spider and doves stories.
The hijrah team and the coastal road — ‘Abdullah, ‘Amir ibn Fuhayrah, the guide, and the shepherd’s milk (Sahih al-Bukhari 3615).
Suraqah ibn Malik — the sinking horse and the letter of safety (Sahih al-Bukhari 3906), and the tent of Umm Ma‘bad.
Quba’, Abu Ayyub’s house and the Prophet’s Mosque (Sahih al-Bukhari 3911, 3932), Madinah’s fever (3926) and the Hijri calendar (3934).
Yathrib before Islam — the Aws and Khazraj, the Day of Bu‘ath (Sahih al-Bukhari 3777) and the blessing of brotherhood (Ali ‘Imran 3:103).
Places and people of the Hijrah — from the Cave of Thawr to Quba’, and the men and women who made the Hijrah possible.
A timeline of the Hijrah and 12 frequently asked questions — short answers grounded in the Qur’an and authentic Hadith.

إِذۡ هُمَا فِي ٱلۡغَارِ إِذۡ يَقُولُ لِصَٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحۡزَنۡ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَاۖ

“…when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, ‘Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us.’”

Surah At-Taubah (9): 40 — Sahih International

🌿 Reflection The Messenger of Allah ﷺ planned every detail of the hijrah — timing, direction, provisions, intelligence and a guide — and only then said: “What do you think, O Abu Bakr, of two whose third is Allah?” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3653). Reliance on Allah begins with effort.
