The following year, which was the 13^th year of prophethood, Hazrat Mus’ab bin Umair (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), set out for Makkah Mukarramah with a group of Muslims in order to perform Haj.

Accompanying these Muslim pilgrims were a number of disbelievers from the Aws and Khazraj tribes who had not as yet embraced Islam. Most of the group, which numbered more than four hundred, comprised of these people.
