       Musa'b went to Yathrib. He started his program of teaching Islam to the people of Yathrib. Although, tough at the beginning, it was by no means comparable to what the Muslims were facing in Mecca. In a short period of time, his efforts were very successful. His teaching sessions were attended with enthusiasm by the rich and the poor. In fact, many people converted to Islam.

	The Hajj season was due again. This time, seventy-three men and two women came to meet with Rasulu Allah (saws). They arranged to meet with Rasulu Allah (saws) in a place called Al 'Aqabah.
They slipped off their camp quietly and proceeded to the meeting place. They gathered there and waited for Rasulu Allah (saws). They inspected each other with great care to make sure that no intruders were among them. Shortly after midnight, Rasulu Allah (saws) arrived in the company of his uncle Al 'Abbas. In this meeting, they pledged to Rasulu Allah (saws) that they would protect him and support him. This pledge was known as Baia'atul 'Aqabah Al Thanyah. They also invited him to migrate to Yathrib.       After the pledge, they returned to their camp before anybody could notice their absence.
