Migration to Abyssinia: Difference between revisions

'''Migration to Abyssinia''' was an event in which some Muslims in [[Mecca]] migrated to [[Abyssinia]] in the early years of [[bi'that]] at the command of [[the Prophet Muhammad (s)]] in order to escape the brutal oppressions of the [[polytheist]]s. The [[Quraysh]] sent [['Amr b. 'As]] and 'Abd Allah b. Abi Rabi'a to Abyssinia in order to extradite the [[:Category:Immigrants to Abyssinia|immigrants]], but [[Ashama b. Abjar]]—the King of Abyssinia known as al-Najashi—was impressed by the remarks of [[Ja'far b. Abi Talib]], the head of the migrants, and thus he did not surrender them to the polytheists. Some Muslims passed away in Abyssinia, and some of them had children there; [['Abd Allah b. Ja'far]]—[[Zaynab (a)]]'s husband—was born in Abyssinia.
