After meeting Hazrat Suraaqah bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and his companions continued on the journey of hijrah. As they proceeded ahead, Buraidah Aslami, was also searching for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) with seventy other riders, just as Hazrat Suraaqah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) had been searching for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). Buraidah Aslami also desired to acquire the reward of one hundred camels offered by the Quraish for capturing or killing Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).
