HIS MIGRATION TO MADINAH
When Umar decided migrate to Madinah, he insisted on doing so openly. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Ali bin Abi Talib said to me: ‘I do not know of any of the migrants who did not migrate in secret, except Umar ibn Al- Khattab. When he decided to migrate, he put on his sword, put his bow over his shoulder, picked up his arrows and carried his stick. He went out to the Ka’bah, where a number of Quraysh were gathered in its courtyard, and circumambulated the House seven times, at a leisurely pace. Then he went to the Maqam and prayed tranquilly. Then he went to the circles of people, one by one, and said to them, ‘May your faces become ugly! Allah will only rub theses noses in the dust. Whoever wants his mother to be bereft of him and his children to become orphans and his wife to become a widow, let him meet me behind this valley,’ ‘Ali said, ‘No one followed him except a few of those who were weak and oppressed. He taught them and told them about Islam, then he went on his way.’ ” (Al-Sayed, 1996: 30).
