Q
What can be learned about resourcefulness and sacrifice from Asma’s actions during the migration?
A
I prepared the journey food for the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr when they wanted (to migrate to) Medina. I
said to my father (Abu Bakr), “I do not have anything to tie the container of the journey food with
except my waist belt.” He said, “Divide it lengthwise into two.” I did so, and for this reason I was
named ‘Dhat-un-Nitaqain’ (i.e. the owner of two belts). (Ibn `Abbas said, “Asma’, Dhat-un-Nitaq.”)
