Mecca Muhammad , preaching the doctrines of one God and the threat of the Day of Judgment, did not at first have much success in the city of Mecca . His tribe, the Quraysh , which was in charge of the Kaaba , persecuted and harassed him continuously. Migration He and his followers (the " Muhajirun ") emigrated to the city of Yathrib, 320 km north of Mecca, in September 622 CE. :''Narrated Abu Bakr: I was with the Prophet in the Cave. When I raised my head, I saw the feet of the people. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! If some of them should look down, they will see us." The Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr, be quiet! (For we are) two and Allah is the Third of us." Sahih Bukhari 58.259 Yathrib was soon renamed Madinat un-Nabi, or the City of the Prophet (though it is known as Medina in English).
