The Prophet's SeerahWhen the persecution by Quraysh intensified, the Prophet ﷺ permitted a group of his companions to migrate to Abyssinia, where there was a just king under whom no one was wronged. They migrated in two waves, and they remained firm in their religion before the Negus when Quraysh sent someone to demand their return. The Negus protected them after hearing verses from Surat Maryam concerning Jesus and Mary.
