Summary

This article discusses the status of the narration that Ali RA slept in the Prophet's place on the night of the Hijrah. The Sahih al-Bukhari account of the Hijrah does not mention it, but its absence does not mean the event did not happen. The event appears in sirah works such as those of Ibn Hisham and Ibn Kathir, and in chained narrations from Ibn Abbas RA, who is the common link of the transmission routes. This is an explanatory article and not an official position of the Mufti of Selangor.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Justeru, di dalam riwayat Al-Bukhari ini tidak disebutkan peristiwa Saidina Ali RA menggantikan tempat tidur Baginda ketika Nabi SAW keluar dari rumahnya ke suatu gua dinamakan gua Thur.
