Salam alaikum, I got this from my book Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (the sealed nectar) pg. 176. This is right after the Prophet’s (pbuh) migration to Madina before he had a place to stay. Im not sure if this is the camel you named, but I think it may be. Please check first. Though not wealthy, every Ansar (Helper) was wholeheartedly eager and anxious to receive the Messenger in his house. It was indeed a triumphal procession. Around the camel of Muhammad (pbuh) and his immediate followers, rode the chiefs of the city in their best raiment and in glittering armour, everyone saying: ‘Alight here O Messenger of Allah, abide by us.” Muhammad (pbuh) used to answer everyone courteously and kindly: “this camel is commanded by Allah, wherever it stops, that will be my abode.” The camel moved onward with slackened rein, reached the site of the Prophetic Mosque and knelt down. He did not dismount until it rose up again, went on forward, turned back and then returned to kneel down in the very former spot. Here, he alighted in a quarter inhabited by Bani Najjar, a tribe related to the Prophet (pbuh). |
