Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Makhrama was among those companions who accepted Islam in its early days. He had the honour of migrating twice, one migration was towards Abyssinia and the second one towards Medina. Ibn-e-Ishaaq has mentioned Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Makhrama among those companions who migrated to Abyssinia with Hazrat Jafar (ra). Yunus bin Bukair, Salma and Bukai have recorded this saying of Ibn-e-Ishaaq in which there is mention of Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Makhrama’s migration to Abyssinia. After migrating to Medina, Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Makhrama resided in the house of Hazrat Khulthum (ra) bin Hidam. The Holy Prophet (sa) established a bond of brotherhood between Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Makhrama and Hazrat Farwah (ra) bin Amr Ansari.
