He,(PBUH) consoled those who were verbally harmed

“We were in Yemen when we heard of the migration of the Messenger of Al- lah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. 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 people with them. Some say they were fifty-three or fifty-two people of my tribe. We embarked upon a boat, and the boat sailed away to the Negus of Abys- sinia. There we met Ja’far ibn Abu Taalib and his companions. Ja’far said: ‘The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, has sent us here and has com- manded us to stay here and you should also stay with us.’ So we stayed with him and then (after a while) we all travelled (to Madinah) and met the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, when Khaybar had been conquered. “ Abu Moosa continued: “The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, allocated a share to us, and in the ordinary course he did not allocate the share to anyone who had been absent on the occasion of the conquest of Khaybar but conferred (a share) only on those who had been present there with him. However, he made an excep- tion for the people of the boat (Ja’far and his companions). He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, allocated a share to them, and some persons from amongst the people said to us, the people of the boat: We have preceded you in migration’. Asmaa’ bint ‘Umays who had migrated to Abyssinia and had come back along with them (along with immigrants) visited Hafsah, the wife of the Messenger of Allah, sal- lallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. ‘Umar (the father of Hafsah) had been sitting with her (Hafsah). When ‘Umar saw Asmaa’, he asked: ‘Who is she?’ She (Hafsah) said: ‘She is Asmaa’, daughter of ‘Umays.’ He said: ‘She is the Abyssinian and a sea-farer.’1 Asmaa’ said: ‘Yes, that is so.’ Thereupon ‘Umar said: ‘We preceded you in emigration and so we have more right to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, as compared to you.’ At this, she felt annoyed and said: ‘O ‘Umar, you are not stating the facts; by Allah, you had the privilege of being in the company of the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who fed the hungry among you and instructed the ignorant amongst you, whereas we had been far (from here) in the land of Abys- sinia amongst the enemies, and that was all for the sake of Allah and the Messen- ger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. By Allah, I will not take food or water unless I make a mention to Allah’s Messenger, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, of what you have said. We remained in that country in constant trouble and dread and I shall talk about it to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and ask him (about it). By Allah, I shall not tell a lie and deviate (from the truth) and add anything to that.’ When the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, came, she said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, ‘Umar says such and such.’ Upon this the Messenger Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “What did you say to him?” She said: ‘I said such and such.” The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “His right is not more than yours; for him and his companions there is one migration, but for you, [i.e. for the people of the boat], there are two migrations.”” She said: “I saw Abu Moosa and the people of the boat coming to me in groups and asking me about this narration. There was nothing more pleasing and more significant for them than this.” Asmaa’ [also] said: “I saw Abu Moosa, asking me to repeat this narration to him again and again.”2
