She stayed in Madinah for about a month. Unfortunately, during her journey back home she passed away at a place called Abwa and the Holy Prophet saw had to travel to Makkah with Umme Aiman alone. The Holy Prophet saw had very fond memories of his stay in Madinah with his mother. Once he pointed at a house passing through the Najjaar family neighbour- hood and said that it was the house he stayed at with his mother all those years ago. Then he pointed at a nearby pond and play- ground and told that it was where he first learnt swimming and where he used to play with a girl, respectively. 7 A Huge Privilege for the Najjaar Family After his migration to Madinah, the Holy Prophet saw assigned twelve people the task of protecting religious matters.
