The first night marks the outset of the hijrah,the beginning of the Islamic calendar.On this night the apostle of Allah began his migration by leaving Makah for Medina.During that night the prophet pursued by the infidels hid in the cave of soawr while Ali (as)risking his life in order to save that of the prophet(saws) slept in the prophets bed indifferent to the swords of the tribes of the infidels.By this act he manifested his merit and self-sacrificing devotion to his cousin the apostle of Allah and verse 22:07 was revealed
"And among the people is he who sells his soul seeking the pleasure of a Allah(swt) and the Allah(swt) is most kind to his servants "
Some scholars say that it is recommended to observe fasting on this day to express gratitude to Almighty Allah for His marvelous favor of having saved the Holy Prophet and Imam `Ali—peace be upon them and their Household.
