Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Allah revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in Makkah in the Cave of Hira. How do we reconcile that with the fact that the Jews went to Madinah to await the Prophet's emergence from among the palm trees?
Answer:
What is the contradiction between them? There is no contradiction between them. The Messenger was sent in Makkah, and when the polytheists oppressed him, he migrated to Madinah. The Jews found in the Scripture that his migration would be to Madinah, so they came to await him. Yes.
