The Hijrat of Hazrat Faatimah (Radhiyallahu Anha)

The Leader of the World, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam), taking Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) as his travelling companion, made Hijrat to Madinah Munawwarah leaving his entire family in Makkah Mukarramah.

Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) followed Rasulallah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) wholeheartedly, and he too left his wife and children behind.

Hazrat Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha) says: “When Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) made Hijrat, he left us two wives (Hazrat Saudah and Hazrat Aishah) and his daughters in Makkah and left. When he settled in Madina Munawwara he then sent Zaid Bin Haarithah and Abu Raafi’ (Radhiyallahu anhuma) to Makkah with two camels and 500 dirhams, so that we all could go to Madinah. Similarly, Abu Bakr also sent a person with two or three camels, and he wrote to his son, Abdullah (Radhiyallahu anhu) to bring the entire family.”

Accordingly, the families of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) both made Hijrat to Madinah Munawwarah together. Hazrat Faatimah, her sister Hazrat Umme Kulthum, Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saudah, Hazrat Asma Bint Abi Bakr and other esteemed persons were also in this caravan.

When this caravan reached Madinah Munawwarah, Sayyidul Aalam (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was busy building rooms for his family around the Masjid. He settled his daughters and Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saudah (Radhiyallahu Anhunna) there.
