Abu Lubaid says that a man named Bairah bin Asad set out from a place called Tahiyah with the intention of migration. When he reached Madinah Munawwarah, several days had passed since the Prophet (peace be upon him) had passed away. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him and found him to be a stranger. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: Who are you? He said: I am from Oman. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Alright," and took his hand and brought him to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: He is from the land about which I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: I know of a city called Oman, on one of its sides flows the sea, and there is an Arab tribe settled there. If my messenger has gone to them, they did not throw any arrow or stone at him.
