===Converting to Islam===
The information on the time when Abu Musa converted to Islam is not accurate and confirmed. According to a number of narrations, he visited [[Sa'id b. 'As b. Umayya]] in [[Mecca]] and became allegiant (halif) of him, and he converted to Islam, afterwards he accompanied other Muslims in their second migration to [[Abyssinia]] (Habasha). However, Ibn Sa'd believed Abu Musa was never an allegiant, and he returned [[Yemen]] after converting to Islam. In addition, [[Musa b. 'Aqaba b. Ishaq]] and [[Abu Mash'ar]] and other biography writers did not mention Abu Musa's name among those who migrated to Abyssinia; which confirms the second notion.

Also [[Ahmad b. Hanbal]] quoted from the grandson of Abu Musa that, along with his tribe members, Abu Musa visited [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] three days after the [[battle of Khaybar]] and they received loots, despite the fact that they did not attend the battle.

According to another report, Abu Musa along with fifty members of his family set out for [[Medina]] from Zubayd in [[Yemem]] by a ship in 7 A.H. They were hit by a storm that pushed them toward [[Abyssinia]] where they met [[Ja'far b. Abi Talib]] and other [[Muhajirun]] (the immigrants). Then they went to Medina together which is the reason of regarding Abu Musa among Muhajirun. Meanwhile, the Jews in [[Khaybar]] accepted to submit to [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]].
