The Hijrah to Abyssinia - Salam and a Short Read

As-salamu alaykum - I'm putting off a history assignment due tomorrow, so here's a longer diversion instead. The first migration: There were two migrations to Abyssinia. The first small group left Arabia around 613–615 CE: about 12 men and 4 women. They were granted asylum by Najashi, the king of Aksum, a Christian ruler. Among them were the Prophet’s daughter Ruqayyah and his son‑in‑law ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān. According to early reports, they boarded a merchant ship at the port of Shuʿaybah, each paying a half‑dinar for the crossing of the Red Sea. Return to Mecca: After roughly a year (around 614–616 CE) the refugees heard mistaken news that the Quraysh had accepted Islam, so some returned to Mecca. When they learned it was untrue, more fled again to Aksum. The second migration: The next group was larger - about 83 men and 18 women. When the Quraysh discovered they were seeking refuge in Aksum, they sent a delegation to Najashi asking for the refugees to be handed over. Two envoys, ʿAmr ibn al‑ʿĀṣ and ʿAbdullāh ibn Rabīʿah, carried gifts and made accusations that the Muslims had invented a new religion and were rebels. Diplomatic challenges and the Muslim reply: Najashi agreed to hear both sides before deciding. Jaʿfar ibn Abī Ṭālib spoke on behalf of the migrants: he described how they had been misguided and sinful before, but Allah sent a prophet who called them to tawḥīd, honesty, respect for relatives and neighbours, prayer, zakāh, and to abandon wrongdoing. He recited passages of revelation about Mary and Jesus. When Najashi heard it, he was moved and acknowledged the common ground between their teachings. A further attempt to slander the Muslims: The next day, one envoy, ʿAmr ibn al‑ʿĀṣ, claimed the Muslims had insulted Jesus. Najashi summoned the Muslims again. Jaʿfar explained the Islamic view of Jesus - his honored status as a servant and messenger of Allah and the miraculous birth through Mary. Najashi’s decision: Najashi responded kindly, saying that what Jaʿfar described was in agreement with his understanding, and he declared the refugees safe in his land. He returned the gifts to the envoys and dismissed them. If you have other things I can procrastinate with, tell me - I’ll probably do them instead of my homework.
