His immigration to Medina, following Muhammad''s

In this sermon Amīr al-mu’minīn has related his own condition after the Prophet's migration till his meeting with him. [1]

I began following the path adopted by the Prophet and treading on the lines of his remembrance till I reached al-‘Arj.

As-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: Amīr al-mu’minīn’s words “fa aṭa’u dhikrahu” constitute the highest forms of brevity and eloquence. He means to say that he was being given news about the Prophet from the commencement of his setting out till he reached this place, and he has expressed this sense in this wonderful expression.
