Ibn Isḥāq reports:
Abū Salamah, ʿĀmir ibn Rabīʿah, and the Banū Jahsh first lodged in Qubāʾ with Mubashshir ibn ʿAbd al-Mundhir, after which the Emigrants continued to arrive in successive groups.
He adds:
The clan of Banū Ghanm ibn Dūdān were already Muslims, and they migrated to Madinah to the very last member, men and women alike. They included ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jahsh, his brother Abū Aḥmad, ʿUkkāshah ibn Miḥṣan, Shujāʿ and ʿUqbah the sons of Wahb, Arbād ibn Ḥumayr, Munqidh ibn Nubātah, Saʿīd ibn Ruqaysh, Muḥriz ibn Naḍlah, Zayd ibn Ruqaysh, Qays ibn Jābir, ʿAmr ibn Miḥṣan, Mālik ibn ʿAmr, Ṣafwān ibn ʿAmr, Thaqf ibn ʿAmr, Rabīʿah ibn Aktham, al-Zubayr ibn ʿUbaydah, Tammām ibn ʿUbaydah, Sakhbarah ibn ʿUbaydah, and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jahsh.
Among their women were Zaynab bint Jahsh, Ḥamnah bint Jahsh, Umm Ḥabīb bint Jahsh, Judāmah bint Jandal, Umm Qays bint Miḥṣan, Umm Ḥabīb bint Thumāmah, Āminah bint Ruqaysh, and Sakhbarah bint Tamīm.
Abū Aḥmad ibn Jahsh composed the following verses about their migration to Madinah:
(Ṭawīl metre)
When Umm Ahmad saw me set forth on my way,
beneath the protection of Him Whom—unseen—I fear and revere,
She said, “If you must carry this purpose through,
then guide us to some other land; keep us far from Yathrib!”
I answered, “Yathrib holds no cause for alarm;
whatever the All-Merciful wills, His servant obeys and proceeds.
My face is turned to God and His Messenger;
whoever turns to God for a day will never be disappointed.
How many a loyal, devoted friend we have left behind,
and many a counsellor who weeps and laments with flowing tears.
She deems our distant departure a grievous loss,
while we see it as the pursuit of our highest hopes.
I summoned the sons of Ghanm to spare their own blood,
and to the truth once its path had become clear to the people.
They answered—praise be to God—when the herald called them
to truth and salvation, and they came out to a man.
But some companions of ours abandoned right guidance;
they armed themselves against us and roused up the foe.
Thus we became two bands: one granted success,
rightly guided upon the truth, and one doomed to torment.”
