Abstract:

The immigrants who arrived in Medīna settled temporarily in the houses of the Ansār, like the Prophet, and they lived with those whose houses were available in Qubā and Madīna. Abū Bakr, accompanied by the Messenger, immigrated to Madīna. When he came to Madīna, he became a guest in the Banī Hārisah neighborhood in the al-Sunḥ region, where was accepted the start of the Āliya region, and after a while, he was given a home there. Apart from the house in the Banī Hārisah area, Abū Bakr had two other houses on the east and west side of the Prophet's Mosque. In this study, riwāyahs about the houses belonging to Abū Bakr will be discussed. In this context, information will be given about how Abū Bakr acquired his houses, how long he lived in these houses, who lived with him and the fate of these houses. This study will enable us to see how Muhācirūn, who migrated to Madīna, solved their housing problems. In addition, the findings of these houses will reveal some details about the social life in Madīna. This article will provide a better understanding of the Prophet’s words about the house of Abū Bakr near his death: “Close all the doors except for him”.
