Hazrat Zubair (ra) meets the Holy Prophet (sa) during the migration of Medina

The Holy Prophet (sa) was still en route when he met Hazrat Zubair (ra), who was returning along with a Muslim caravan of merchants from Syria. Hazrat Zubair (ra) presented the Holy Prophet (sa) and Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) with white clothes.

*(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Manaqib, Bab Hijrat al-Nabisa wa Ashabih ila al-Medina, Hadith 3906) *

In reference to this meeting, Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmed Sahib (ra) writes:

“On the way, he met Zubair bin Al-Awam (ra), who was returning to Mecca with a small party of Muslims from a trading expedition in Syria. Zubair (ra) gifted a white set of clothing to the Holy Prophet (sa) and one to Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra), and said, ‘After my return to Mecca, I too shall soon join you in Medina.’”
