Select your answer for: During the migration to Medina (Hijrah), ________________ acted as a spy tracking the Prophet (PBUH)?
Show answer

Answer: D. Saraqa bin Sajjel

Explanation

Saraqa bin Malik initially tracked the Prophet during Hijrah before eventually accepting Islam. Historical chronicles detail his pursuit of the migrating party enticed by the promised bounty. His horse miraculously stumbled multiple times, convincing him of the divine protection surrounding the travelers. The migration from Makkah to Madina was a perilous journey filled with immense dangers and suspense. Quraysh leaders had offered massive rewards for anyone who could capture or locate the fleeing Prophet. Many early adversaries eventually converted to Islam after witnessing extraordinary signs during critical encounters.

This dramatic episode illustrates the perilous nature of the early Muslim exodus to sanctuary. Stories of the Hijrah inspire believers to trust in divine providence during times of severe adversity. Historical narratives preserve these encounters to demonstrate how hostility often turned into sincere faith. Option A names Waleed bin Utbah, who participated in different conflicts rather than tracking this journey. Option B suggests Sehl bin Amr, a Makkan figure known for other political negotiations. Option C points to Abu Jehl, who orchestrated opposition from Makkah rather than pursuing the party personally.
