       The news of Rasulu Allah's Hijrah spread very fast and soon reached Yathrib. The people in Yathrib were very excited. Everyday, they went out to the outskirts of Yathrib to wait for the arrival of Rasulu Allah (saws). They did this for many days without a fail. One day, they waited for Rasulu Allah (saws) till noon but he did not arrive. So, they went back to their homes as the sun became very hot. That day, just after they had reached their homes, a man came with very exciting news. He had seen Rasulu Allah (saws) and Abu Bakr at the outskirts of Yathrib.

	The people of Yathrib were very excited and happy. They went out all together to meet Rasulu Allah (saws). Some of them had not met Rasulu Allah (saws) before, some even mistook Abu Bakr for Rasulu Allah (saws). After the highly charged emotional welcome, Rasulu Allah (saws) proceeded to Yathrib. Almost everyone wanted to have Rasulu Allah (saws) as a guest in his house. But Rasulu Allah (saws) told them to leave the camel and let it choose where to sit. He explained to them that wherever the camel sat will be his place of residence and masjid.
