Migration To Medina
Many Muslims chose to stay in Abyssinia and live there until they received word to emigrate to Medina directly. However, a few Muslims chose to return to Mecca, and Ruqayyah was amongst them. Upon her return, she learned that her mother Khadija had died in her absence. Her stay in Mecca did not last long either, as most Muslims had begun to migrate to the friendly city of Medina, and she migrated there as well. It was in Medina that her son Abd-Allah died.
Her grief over the loss of her mother and son was compounded by an illness (said to be measles) which left her bed-ridden in 624 AD, at the same time as the Battle of Badr was being carried out. Ruqayyah died before the Muslims returned from battle, and was buried in Al-Baqi' cemetery. Uthman stayed by her side during her illness, and did not participate in the battle.
The medieval Shiite cleric Muhammad Baqir Majlisi wrote that she was killed by her husband Uthman.
