The Prophet's emigration ﷺ
[ خَبَرُ الْهَاتِفِ مِنْ الْجِنِّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ فِي هِجْرَتِهِ ] قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا. فَمَكَثْنَا ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ. وَمَا نَدْرِي أَيْنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْجِنِّ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ، يَتَغَنَّى بِأَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ شَعَرِ غِنَاءِ الْعَرَبِ، وَإِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيَتْبَعُونَهُ، يَسْمَعُونَ صَوْتَهُ وَمَا يَرَوْنَهُ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ أَعَلَى مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: : جَزَى اللَّهُ رَبُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرَ جَزَائِهِ رَفِيقَيْنِ حَلَّا خَيْمَتَيْ أُمِّ مَعْبَدِ هُمَا نَزَلَا بِالْبَرِّ ثُمَّ تَرَوَّحَا فَأَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَمْسَى رَفِيقَ مُحَمَّدٍ لِيَهْنِ بَنِي كَعْبٍ مَكَانُ فَتَاتِهِمْ وَمَقْعَدُهَا لِلْمُؤْمِنَيْنِ بِمَرْصَدِ
Translation
✧ [Report of the caller from the jinn about the route of the Messenger ﷺ during his emigration] She said: Then they departed. We remained for three nights, not knowing where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was headed, until a man from the jinn approached from the lower part of Makkah, singing verses of the Arabs' song-poetry. The people were following him, hearing his voice but not seeing him, until he emerged from the upper part of Makkah, saying: May Allah, Lord of mankind, reward with the best of His reward two companions who alighted at the two tents of Umm Maʿbad. They stopped at the open land, then went on their way in the evening. So may he prosper who spent the evening as a companion of Muhammad. May it bring good fortune to Banū Kaʿb the place of their young woman, And her sitting-place as a lookout for the two believers.
