Laylat al-Mabit ( ar, لَـیْـلَـة ٱلْـمَـبِـیْـت, lit=the overnight stay) refers to the night in 622 CE in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad left Mecca for Yathrib, a city that was later renamed Medina in his honor. Laylat al-Mabit is often associated in Islamic literature with the reports that Muhammad's cousin Ali risked his life for Muhammad's safe escape from Mecca. Ali () later became the fourth caliph after Muhammad and is regarded as the first Shia Imam. Event As the persecution of early Muslims in Mecca continued, or perhaps with the hope of better prospects, Muhammad asked his followers to emigrate to Yathrib, whose residents had pledged to protect Muhammad there.
