✧ They had promised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to meet him the following year in Makkah, along with those of their people who followed them. The following year they set out, seventy men, among those of their people who left the land of polytheism. Kaʿb b. Malik said: When we were at the outskirts of al-Baydaʾ, al-Baraʾ b. Maʿrur b. Sakhr b. Khansaʾ, who was our elder and our chief, said: “I have formed an opinion. By Allah, I do not know whether you will agree with me or not. I have decided not to keep this structure behind me—meaning the Kaʿbah—and to pray toward it.” We said: “Do not do that. We have not heard that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ prays except toward Syria, and we would not pray toward any direction other than his.” We refused him that, and he refused us. We set out on our journey, and when prayer time came, he prayed toward the Kaʿbah while we prayed toward Syria until we arrived in Makkah. Kaʿb b. Malik said: Al-Baraʾ b. Maʿrur said to me: “By Allah, nephew, what I did on this journey has left me uneasy.” He said: We did not know the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but we knew al-ʿAbbas b. ʿAbd al-Muttalib, who used to come to us for trade and we would see him. We went out asking about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Makkah until, when we were at al-Bathaʾ, we met a man and asked him about him. He said: “Do you two know him?” We said: “No, by Allah.” He said: “When you enter, look for the man sitting with al-ʿAbbas; it is he. I left him with him just now sitting.” He said: We went until we came to him ﷺ, and there he was with al-ʿAbbas. We greeted them and sat with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do you know these two men, O ʿAbbas?” He said: “Yes. These are two men from the Khazraj. At that time the Ansar were called only the Aws and the Khazraj. This is al-Baraʾ b. Maʿrur, a man among the men of his people, and this is Kaʿb b. Malik.” By Allah, I will never forget the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: “The poet?” He said: “Yes.” Al-Baraʾ b. Maʿrur said: “O Messenger of Allah, I did something on this journey that I would like you to tell me about, for I am uneasy about it. I decided not to keep this structure behind me and prayed toward it. My companions rebuked me and opposed me, until it left me uneasy.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “You were upon a qiblah, had you remained steadfast upon it.” He said nothing more. He said: Then we went out to Mina and completed the pilgrimage. In the middle of the days of tashriq, we and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed to meet at al-ʿAqabah. We went out in the depths of the night, slipping away from our camps and concealing it from the polytheists of our people. When we gathered at al-ʿAqabah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with his uncle al-ʿAbbas b. ʿAbd al-Muttalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Quran to us, and we responded, believed him, trusted him, and were pleased with what he said. Then al-ʿAbbas b. ʿAbd al-Muttalib spoke and said: “O assembly of Khazraj, Muhammad is from us, as you know. We have protected him from those who are like us, and he is protected among his clan and his people.” Al-Baraʾ b. Maʿrur spoke, took the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and said: “We pledge allegiance to you.” He said: “I accept your pledge that you will protect me from what you protect yourselves, your women, and your children.” He said: “Yes, by the One who sent you with the truth. By Allah, we are people of war; we have inherited it generation after generation.”
