وَاتَّخَذُوا الْحَبَشَةَ دَارًا لَهُمْ؟ -

Did they make Abyssinia their home?

تَرَكُوهَا بَعْدَ أَنِ اسْتَقَرَّتِ الْأَحْوَالُ. -

They left once conditions stabilized.

This was after the Messenger had migrated there.

لَسْتُ أَدْرِي: كَيْفَ غَفَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَنْهُمْ؟

I wonder: how did Quraish overlook them?

كَيْفَ تَرَكَتْهُمْ يَفِرُّونَ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ؟ -

How did they let them flee to Abyssinia?

أَلَمْ تَخْشَ قُرَيْشٌ أَنْ يَنْشُرُوا الْإِسْلَامَ فِيهَا، إِذَا أَمْكَنَتْهُمْ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ؟ -

Did Quraish not fear they would spread Islam there if they were allowed to migrate?

أَلَمْ تَخْشَ أَنْ تَزْدَادَ قُوَّتُهُمْ، وَيَسْتَفْحِلَ أَمْرُهُمْ إِذَا خَلَا لَهُمُ الْجَوُّ؟ -

Did they not fear their strength would grow and their influence expand if left unchecked?

لَمْ تَغْفُلْ قُرَيْشٌ عَنْ هَذَا. -

Quraish did not overlook this.

فَمَا بَالُهَا يَسَّرَتْ لَهُمْ أَسْبَابَ الْهِجْرَةِ؟ -

Why, then, did they facilitate their migration?

بَلْ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْعَكْسِ، تَبُثُّ حَوْلَهُمُ الْعُيُونَ وَالْأَرْصَادَ. -

On the contrary, they had spies and scouts watching them everywhere.

فَكَيْفَ هَاجَرُوا؟ -

So how did they manage to migrate?

تَسَلَّلُوا خُلْسَةً. -

They slipped away in secret.

وَأَصْبَحُوا بَعِيدًا عَنْ مُتَنَاوَلِ الْأَذَى؟ -

Were they then beyond the reach of harm?

لَمْ تَكُفَّ قُرَيْشٌ عَنْ مُطَارَدَتِهِمْ. -

Quraish did not stop pursuing them.

حَتَّى بَعْدَ هِجْرَتِهِمْ؟ - نَعَمْ. - فِي الْحَبَشَةِ؟ -

Even after they had migrated?

نَعَمْ.

Yes.

كَيْفَ طَارَدَتْهُمْ فِيهَا؟ (٨-١) مُلَاحَقَةُ قُرَيْشٍ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ -

How did they pursue them there?

أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ رَسُولَيْنِ، وَمَعَهُمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّفَائِسِ وَالْهَدَايَا. -
