The narrator of the Hadith says I asked Imam Ali -asws Ibn Hussain -asws (the 4 th Imam -asws ) about (Imam Ali -asws ’s to Migration to Madinah): (The 4 th Imam -asws said) ‘When Rasool Allah -saww migrated to Madinah, and left Imam Ali -asws behind, he -saww journeyed to Madinah over twelve nights from the Month of Rabbi ul-Awwal with the setting of the sun. ‘And Rasool Allah -saww stayed at (the house of) Amro Bin Awf for about ten days.

They were saying to him -saww , ‘Stay with us, so we will build for you -saww a house and a Masjid’. So Rasool Allah -saww said; ‘No. I -saww am awaiting (my -saww brother) Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , and have asked him -asws to meet me -saww , and I -saww will not settle in a house until (my -saww brother) Ali ‑asws comes, and he -asws will not be long, Allah -azwj Willing.’ So, Imam Ali -asws came to the Prophet -saww at the house of Amro Bin Awf and stayed with him -saww .

‘When Imam Ali -asws arrived, Rasool Allah -saww , transferred from Quba to the Clan of Saalim Bin Awf, and Imam Ali -asws was with him -saww , on the Day of Friday at sunrise. So, they drew a boundary for him -saww for a Masjid, and established its Qiblah (direction of Prayer). Rasool Allah -saww Prayed with them the Friday Prayer of two cycles, and preached them two sermons. Then Rasool Allah -saww went to Madinah upon a she-camel, and Imam Ali -asws was with him ‑saww .

‘Rasool Allah -saww had freed the camel’s reins until it ended up at the place which you see’, and the fourth Imam -asws gestured by his -asws hands to the door of the Masjid of Rasool Allah ‑saww . The Imam -asws said: ‘So it paused at it and knelt, and placed itself upon the ground. So, Rasool Allah -saww descended, and Abu Ayub welcomed him -saww and carried his -saww saddle bag and made him -saww to enter his house.

And Rasool Allah -saww and Imam Ali -asws stayed with him until they built for him -saww , his -saww Masjid, and built for him -saww his -saww house, and a house for Imam Ali -asws . So, both of them -asws transferred to their -asws houses’. So, Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab (the narrator) said to Ali -asws Bin Al-Hussain -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws , Abu Bakr was with Rasool Allah -saww when he -saww arrived at Madinah.

So, when did he separate from Rasool Allah -saww ?’ So, the Imam -asws replied: ‘Abu Bakr was with him ‑saww when Rasool Allah -saww proceeded to Quba, and he -saww decided to wait for Imam Ali -asws .
