What if you witnessed a miracle of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ right in front of your eyes? Over 1,400 years ago, during the historic Hijrah from Makkah to Madinah, an extraordinary event reportedly took place at the tent of Umm Ma’bad — involving a weak goat that could barely produce any milk. Welcome to Episode 5 of Retracing the Hijrah, our 13-part Islamic history series following the Ala Khutah (على خطاه) route across Saudi Arabia. 🐐 THE MIRACLE OF UMM MA’BAD’S GOAT During the migration of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (RA) from Makkah to Madinah, they stopped at the tent of a woman known as Umm Ma’bad al-Khuza’iyyah. According to the famous Seerah narration, Umm Ma’bad was known for providing food and drink to travelers passing through the desert. But during this particular encounter, food and milk were scarce. Nearby was a thin, weak goat that was unable to produce sufficient milk. When Rasulullah ﷺ noticed the goat, he asked Umm Ma’bad for permission to milk it. She gave him permission. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the name of Allah and milked the goat. By Allah’s permission, it produced an extraordinary amount of milk — enough for Umm Ma’bad and the travelers to drink until they were satisfied. And there was even milk left over. But one of the most beautiful details of this account is that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ drank last, after ensuring that the others had been served. A remarkable reminder of the character, generosity, and compassion of Rasulullah ﷺ. ⛰️ VISITING THE LOCATION ASSOCIATED WITH UMM MA’BAD Today, we’re exploring a location associated with the historic tent of Umm Ma’bad along the reconstructed Hijrah route.
