Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2351b
This hadith gives a clear timeline report from Ibn Abbas. He says Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم stayed in Mecca for thirteen years after revelation was sent to him, stayed in Medina for ten years, and died when he was sixty-three. This is one of the clearest narrations in the batch for readers searching for the Prophet’s Mecca and Medina timeline. It names both places and gives the age at death. The wording should be followed closely: the thirteen years are tied to the period after revelation, and the ten years are tied to Medina. The narration is about reported years, not a detailed biography.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith states thirteen years in Mecca after revelation.
