Summary
This article discusses the hijrah of the Prophet SAW and Abu Bakr al-Siddiq RA to Madinah and several related questions, including why Madinah was chosen, the spider web story, the two doves, Suraqah's horse and the stay at Quba'. The choice of Madinah is based on a Sahih al-Bukhari hadith in which the Prophet SAW saw in a dream a land with date palms, after which the Muslims hurried to migrate there. On the spider web story at the entrance of the Cave of Thur, scholars differ on its authenticity, and the article cites its source in the narration of Imam Ahmad.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Di dalam Sahih al-Bukhari terdapat sebuah hadith yang menceritakan pemilihan kota Madinah sebagai destinasi umat Islam untuk berhijrah.
