Sahih al-Bukhari 5807

Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:Some Muslim men emigrated to Ethiopia whereupon Abu Bakr also prepared himself for the emigration, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Wait, for I hope that Allah will allow me also to emigrate." Abu Bakr said, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Do you hope that (emigration)?" The Prophet said, 'Yes." So Abu Bakr waited to accompany the Prophet (ﷺ) and fed two she-camels he had on the leaves of As-Samur tree regularly for four months One day while we were sitting in our house at midday, someone said to Abu Bakr, "Here is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), coming with his head and a part of his face covered with a cloth-covering at an hour he never used to come to us." Abu Bakr said, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you, (O Prophet)! An urgent matter must have brought you here at this hour." The Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked the permission to enter, and he was allowed. The Prophet (ﷺ) entered and said to Abu Bakr, "Let those who are with you, go out." Abu Bakr replied, "(There is no stranger); they are your family. Let my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been allowed to leave (Mecca)." Abu Bakr said, " I shall accompany you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), Let my father be sacrificed for you!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes," Abu Bakr said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father be sacrificed for you. Take one of these two shecamels of mine" The Prophet (ﷺ) said. I will take it only after paying its price." So we prepared their baggage and put their journey food In a leather bag. And Asma' bint Abu Bakr cut a piece of her girdle and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it. That is why she was called Dhatan- Nitaqaln. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr went to a cave in a mountain called Thour and remained there for three nights. `Abdullah bin Abu Bakr. who was a young intelligent man. used to stay with them at night and leave before dawn so that in the morning, he would he with the Quraish at Mecca as if he had spent the night among them. If he heard of any plot contrived by the Quraish against the Prophet and Abu Bakr, he would understand it and (return to) inform them of it when it became dark. 'Amir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abu Bakr used to graze a flock of milch sheep for them and he used to take those sheep to them when an hour had passed after the `Isha prayer. They would sleep soundly till 'Amir bin Fuhaira awakened them when it was still dark. He used to do that in each of those three nights

Aisha bataati hain: Kuch Musalmaan Habsha (Ethiopia) hijrat kar gaye, isper Abu Bakr ne bhi hijrat ki taiyaari ki, magar Nabi (SAW) ne (unse) kaha, 'Ruko, kyunke mujhe ummeed hai ke Allah mujhe bhi hijrat karne dega.' Abu Bakr ne kaha, 'Mere maa-baap aap par qurbaan hon. Kya aapko iski (hijrat ki) ummeed hai?' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Haan.' To Abu Bakr Nabi (SAW) ke saath jaane ke intezaar mein ruk gaye aur apni do oontniyon ko chaar mahine tak As-Samur darakht ke patton par palte rahe. Ek din jab hum apne ghar mein dophar ko baithe the, kisi ne Abu Bakr se kaha, 'Ye Allah ke Rasool (SAW) hain, apna sar aur chehre ka kuch hissa kapde se dhaanke hue aa rahe hain, us waqt jab wo kabhi humaare paas nahi aate the.' Abu Bakr ne kaha, 'Mere maa-baap aap par qurbaan hon, (Aye Nabi)! Zaroor koi zaroori maamla aapko is waqt yahaan laaya hai.' Nabi (SAW) aaye aur andar aane ki ijaazat maangi, aur unhein ijaazat di gayi. Nabi (SAW) andar aaye aur Abu Bakr se kaha, 'Jo tumhaare saath hain unhein baahar bhejo.' Abu Bakr ne jawab diya, '(Koi ajnabi nahi hai); ye aapka hi khaandaan hai. Mere waalid aap par qurbaan hon, Aye Allah ke Rasool!' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Mujhe (Makkah se) nikalne ki ijaazat mil gayi hai.' Abu Bakr ne kaha, 'Main aapke saath chalunga, Aye Allah ke Rasool! Mere waalid aap par qurbaan hon!' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Haan.' Abu Bakr ne kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Mere waalid aap par qurbaan hon. In do oontniyon mein se ek le lijiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Main ise sirf qeemat adaa karke lunga.' To humne unka saamaan taiyaar kiya aur unke safar ka khaana ek chamde ke thaile mein rakha. Aur Asma bint Abu Bakr ne apni kamarbandh ka ek tukda kaata aur usse thaile ka munh baandha. Isi wajah se unhein 'Dhatan-Nitaqain' (do kamarbandon wali) kaha jaane laga. Phir Nabi (SAW) aur Abu Bakr Thour naami pahaad ki ek gufaa mein gaye aur teen raatein wahaan rahe. Abdullah bin Abu Bakr, jo ek jawaan aur samajhdaar shaks the, raat ko unke saath rehte aur subah hone se pehle chale jaate taake subah wo Makkah mein Quraish ke saath aise ho jaise unhone unke beech hi raat guzaari ho. Agar unhein Quraish ki Nabi aur Abu Bakr ke khilaaf kisi saazish ka pata chalta, to wo use samajhkar andhera hote hi unhein bataane (wapas) jaate. Aamir bin Fuhaira, Abu Bakr ke azaad kiye ghulaam, unke liye doodh dene wali bakriyon ka jhund charaate the aur wo unhein Isha ki namaz ke ek ghante baad unke paas le jaate. Wo gehri neend sote yahaan tak ke Aamir bin Fuhaira unhein andhera rehte hi jagaate. Wo aisa un teenon raaton mein har baar karte.
