The Hijrah (Migration) of the Prophet Muhammad 1-5 AD
Getting out of the House was very hard for the Prophet (SAW) as Abu Jahl had picked out men from different tribes to kill the Prophet (SAW). So he gave his cloak to Ali (RA) and told him to lie down on the bed so that people would think it's Muhammad (SAW). Then Muhammad (SAW) went to Abu Bakr (RA), and they started their journey to Yathrib. On the way to Yathrib, they hid in a desert hill where Asma bint Abu Bakr would bring them food. -
