Is it true that the Ansar greeted the Messenger when he arrived in Madinah with songs?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Did the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them), when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them, greet him with songs? And is this a sign of their love for him?
Answer:
This is not established. "The full moon has risen upon us from the bends of al-Wada'" is also not accurate, because the Messenger did not come from the bends of al-Wada'. The bends of al-Wada' are on the road to Sham, whereas the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) came from the south of Madinah, not from the north. However, some historians say that this was not what they said during the Hijrah, but rather what they said when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from Tabuk, as he returned from the Battle of Tabuk. Allah knows best.
