Abu Musa reported: We were in Yemen when we heard of the migration of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . We also set out as immigrants to him. And I was accompanied by two brothers of mine, I being the youngest of them; one of them was Abu Burda and the other one was Abu Ruhm, and there were some other persons with them. Some say they were fifty-three or fifty-two persons of my tribe. We embarked upon a boat, and the boat sailed away to the Negus of Abyssinia. There we met Ja'far bin Abu Talib and his companions. Ja'far said: Allall's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has sent us here and has commanded us to stay here and you should also stay with us. So we stayed with him and we came back (to Madinah) and met Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when Khaibar had been conquered. He (the Holy Prophet) allocated a share to us and in the ordinary course he did not allocate the share to one who had been absent on the occasion of the conquest of Khaibar but conferred (a share) upon him only who had been present there with him. He, however, made an exception for the people of the boat, viz. for Ja'far and his companions. He allocated a share to them, and some persons from amongst the people said to us, viz. the people of the boat: We have preceded you in migration.
