Following the long and arduous journey of the Hijra, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ finally arrived in Medina, welcomed by a community of eager believers. The people of Medina were so honored to have him that many clamored for him to stay in their homes.
But the Prophet ﷺ chose a different path, allowing his camel to guide him to his destination. So, which fortunate companion was chosen to host the Prophet ﷺ upon his first arrival in Medina?
Question: Which companion did the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stay with when he first came to Madinah?
Options are:
- A) Abu Bakr (R.A)
- B) Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (R.A)
- C) Uthman (R.A)

Correct Answer is : B) Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (RA)
Description:
When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated to Madinah, he stayed at the house of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (RA).
This arrangement was made after the Prophet’s camel, guided by divine will, stopped near Abu Ayyub’s home.
The Prophet ﷺ stayed there until the construction of Masjid Al-Nabawi was completed. (Ibn Hisham, Sirah al-Nabawiyyah)
