When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ left this world, Bilal (RA) left Madinah and went to Sham because he couldn’t live in Madinah without seeing Rasūlullāh. One night, he saw the Beloved in his dream who said, « Bilal you haven’t visited us in so long! » He got up and tirelessly rode until he got to Madinah.
When he made the adhan on that day after many years, Madinah shook and every man and woman wept in remembrance of the Habib.
When he reached, ‘Ashahadu ana Muhammad…’ he fell on the floor in tears because he couldn’t bear to make the adhan without seeing Rasūlullāh ﷺ. When Bilal (RA) was on his deathbed, he said, ‘What a day of happiness! Tomorrow I will meet Muhammad ﷺ and his Companions.’ May Allāh grant us a drop from the ocean of his love of Rasulallah ﷺ
The day of Arafah🔔
Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about the observance of Saum (fasting) on the day of 'Arafah. He said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year and the current year." [Muslim].
Five men from Britain have completed a walk from Makkah to Madinah in the footsteps of the Prophet (peace be upon him) along the Hijrah route.
It took them 185 hours to walk 547km.
