Question:
According to many historians and scholars the Prophet sallahu alaywasallam migrated Mecca in the month of Safar and reached Madina on Rabiul awwal but in Sufi site I saw it’s written as to be the day of Ashura. Please can you clarify?
Answer:
It is as the historians said. What is meant by the rest is only that in the first Ashura following Hijra the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) mentioned his important hadith about the Umma being closer to Sayyidina Musa (upon him peace) than any other community.
