Hadith 19694

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، عَن عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَن أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَن أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : لَقِيَ عُمَرُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، فَقَالَ : نِعْمَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْتُمْ ، لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ سَبَقْتُمْ بِالْهِجْرَةِ ، وَنَحْنُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْكُمْ ، قَالَتْ : كُنْتُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَلِّمُ جَاهِلَكُمْ ، وَيَحْمِلُ رَاجِلَكُمْ ، وَفَرَرْنَا بِدِينِنَا ، فَقَالَتْ : لَا أَنْتَهِي حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَخَلَتْ ، فَذَكَرَتْ مَا قَالَ لَهَا عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَلْ لَكُمْ الْهِجْرَةُ مَرَّتَيْنِ : هِجْرَتُكُمْ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ ، وَهِجْرَتُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) returned from Abyssinia, she encountered Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on one of the roads of Madinah Munawwarah. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Are you one of those who went to Abyssinia?" She replied, "Yes!" Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You people were the best nation, if only you had not missed the migration to Madinah." She replied, "You people were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he would provide mounts for your walkers, teach knowledge to your ignorant, and we had left at that time to save our religion. I will not return home without mentioning this matter to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Thus, she presented herself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the entire matter. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have two migrations: one towards Madinah Munawwarah and the other towards Abyssinia."
