How did Hudhayfah come to have this choice'? His father, al-Yaman was a Makkan from the tribe of Abs. He had killed someone and had been forced to leave Makkah. He had settled down in Yathrib, becoming an ally (Halif) of the Banu al-Ash-hal and marrying into the tribe. A son named Hudhayfah was born to him. The restrictions on his returning to Makkah were eventually lifted and he divided his time between Makkah and Yathrib but stayed more in Yathrib and was more attached to it. This was how Hudhayfah had a Makkan origin but a Yathribite upbringing.

When the rays of Islam began to radiate over the Arabian Peninsula, a delegation from the Abs tribe, which included al-Yaman, went to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam) and announced their acceptance of Islam. That was before the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam) migrated to Yathrib. Huzayfah grew up in a Muslim household and was taught by both his mother and father who were among the first persons from Yathrib to enter the religion of God. He therefore became a Muslim before meeting the Prophet, peace be upon him.

Huzayfah longed to meet the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam). From an early age, he was keen on following whatever news there was about him. The more he heard, the more his affection for the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam) grew and the more he longed to meet him. He eventually journeyed to Makkah, met the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam) and put the question to him, "Am I a Muhajir or am I an Ansari, O Rasulullah?" "If you wish you may consider yourself among the Muhajirin, or if you wish you may consider yourself one of the Ansar. Choose whichever is dearer to you," replied the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam). "Well, I am an Ansari. O Rasulullah," decided Hudhayfah.

At Madinah, after the Hijrah, Huzayfah became closely attached to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam). He participated in all the military engagements except Badr. Explaining why he missed the Battle of Badr, he said: "I would not have missed Badr if my father and I had not been outside Madinah. The disbelieving Quraysh met us and asked where we were going. We told them we were going to Madinah and they asked whether we intended to meet Muhammad. We insisted that we only wanted to go to Madinah. They allowed us to go only after they extracted from us an undertaking not to help Muhammad against them and not to fight along with them. "When we came to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam) we told him about our undertaking to the Quraysh and asked him what should we do. He said that we should ignore the undertaking and seek Allah's help against them." read more
