Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the people of al-Madinah greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the song "The full moon has risen over us," given that some people cite this story as evidence for these anthems?
Answer:
This story is not established, and it contains indications that it has no basis. It says, "The full moon has risen over us from the folds of al-Wada'." The folds of al-Wada' are not on the road from Makkah, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to al-Madinah from the south, not from the north, so he would not pass by the folds of al-Wada'. The folds of al-Wada' are north of al-Madinah, so this does not apply.
