<P> Many people were visiting Mecca on business or as pilgrims to the Kabaa . Muhammad took this opportunity to look for a new home for himself and his followers . After several unsuccessful negotiations, he found hope with some men from Yathrib (later called Medina). The Arab population of Yathrib were somewhat familiar with monotheism because a Jewish community existed in that city . </P> <P> Following the pledges at Aqabah, Muhammad encouraged his followers to emigrate to Yathrib . As before, with the migration to Abyssinia, the Quraysh attempted to stop the emigration . However, almost all Muslims managed to leave . </P> <P> The day of the scheduled assassination, Muhammad asked his friend Abu Bakr, whom he had asked to stay behind, to make preparations for departure . He also asked his cousin Ali to stay behind to settle outstanding financial obligations . Muhammad slipped from his home the night of the planned assassination . Ali had worn Muhammad's cloak, leading the assassins to think Muhammad had not yet departed . By the time the assassins came to know of this, Muhammad had already departed . </P> <P> To further trick his enemies, Muhammad travelled south for a few days instead of north to Yathrib (Medina). After a few days he took a relatively untrammeled path to the Red Sea . From there, he followed the coastline up to Yathrib, arriving outside the town proper on Monday, 27 September 622 . </P>
