The first migration to Abyssinia

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Some Muslims went to Abyssinia, to a just king under whom no one was wronged, and he welcomed them with kindness.

In the fifth year of the prophethood a group of Muslims travelled to Abyssinia, to a king called the Negus who ruled with justice. Among them were Uthman ibn Affan (may God be pleased with him) and the Prophet ﷺ's daughter Ruqayya. The Negus welcomed them with kindness, and they lived there safely.
