It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) emigrated, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding a mount and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting behind him (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) knew the roads very well because of his repeated travels to and fro towards Syria. So whenever they passed by a group of people and they asked: "Who is this gentleman with you?" he would reply: "He is a guide who shows me the way." Then, when the two of them drew near to Madinah, they sent word to those people of the Ansar who had accepted Islam, namely Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions. They came out to receive the two of them and said: "Enter, the two of you, in safety and security, and as ones who will be obeyed." So the two of them entered. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I never saw any day brighter or more beautiful than the day on which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) entered Madinah."
