نقطة الانطلاق: أكسوم. أرض الحبشة إلى خيبر؛ لا يسمّي النص الميناء ولا مسار البر بعد البحر (ص3، 5)، فنقطة البداية هي عاصمة المملكة بوصفها الموضع المُعرَّف في المتحف لأرض الحبشة.

Overview
The journey of the emigrants from the land of Abyssinia to the Prophet at Khaybar, in two ships which the Negus provided, with Amr ibn Umayya al-Damri, after al-Hudaybiyya 1.
Among the travellers, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib is mentioned 1.
The limits of the report
Ibn Ishaq does not name the port or the route. He says that they arrived while the Prophet was at Khaybar. The museum has set the starting point at Aksum, as the defined location of the land of Abyssinia. That is an organizing choice, not a statement of the source 1.
The same event is described as the carrying of the emigrants in two ships.
