At the occasion of the Holy Prophet's (sa) migration to Medina when he was entering the city on his camel, every tribe desired that he would stay at their home. When the Holy Prophet's (sa) camel reached the house of Banu ‘Adi, and they were his maternal uncles because Salma bint ‘Amr, mother of ‘Abdul Muttalib, was from this tribe, at that time Hazrat Suleet bin Qais and Aseerah bin Abu Khuwarjah tried to stop the Holy Prophet (sa) but he stated ,“Leave my camel as it is moving under divine guidance.” That is, it will stop wherever God desires.
