The Migration

The Migration

The condition of the Muslims in Makkah became critical. So, our Master Muhammad [s] ordered his companions to immigrate to Yathrib.

Ammar was one of those who migrated for Allah.

When our Master Muhammad [s] immigrated too, happiness covered al-Madina al-Munawwara. And the immigrants lived peacefully with their brothers in Yathrib.

 

First, Allah's Apostle [s] thought of building a mosque so that the Muslims would worship Allah alone. In the meantime it would be a symbol for the Muslims strength and a castle for the Muslim nation.

With enthusiasm, the Muslims began building the Prophet's Mosque.

Some Muslims were carrying dust. Some were making bricks and some were carrying the dried bricks to make the walls.

Our Master Muhammad [s] was working with his companions. Ammar, though covered with dust, was working actively.

Each Muslim was carrying a brick. But Ammar was carrying two bricks. For this reason, our Master Muhammad [s] said to him:

They (the Muslims) will get a reward; you'll get two rewards.

To encourage his Muslim brothers, Ammar repeated the following enthusiastic words:

Those who build the mosque do not equal those who avoid dust.

Some companions were avoiding dust. They became displeased with Ammar's words. Uthman came to Ammar and said threateningly:

I'll hit you on the nose with this stick!

Ammar looked at Uthman but did not say a word.

Our Master Muhammad [s] heard about Uthman's threat. He felt pain. Then he came to Ammar and said:

You're dear to me!

Our Master Muhammad [s] rubbed the dust from Ammar's face. Thus the great companions heart was filled with love for the Holy Prophet.
