The greatest loss

Reference: Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa v3 p505

as-Sanaabihee said:

We left Yemen [with the intention of] making hijrah – wanting [to meet] the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ.

So we arrived at al-Juhfah and a rider approached us, saying “We buried the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ five nights ago.”
