Al Madinah, before Islam was a tiny town with full of date gardens and marshlands. As it was flat ground, nearest highest point was "Thaniyyatil-Wada". Acording to custom of Madinah people; if anyone they knew had to leave the town. His relatives and friends would climb up to Thaniyyatil-Wada and wave at them until they would disappear in horizon. So that was actually a farewell hill.
As it is known by most; when Rasullallah decided to move from Makkah to Al Madinah. The news was already spread among Ansar. They were very happy and also very impatient for Him to arrive to their city. Because of that some group of Ansar everyday were climbing up to the Thaniyyatil-Wada and patiently waiting for Rasullalah to appear in horizon. Eventually when the time arrived group of Ansar saw Him and His companion at top of Thaniyyatil-Wada. With tremendous joy they have started to sing The Islam's very first Nasheed " Tala'al Badru 'alayna " They were somehow spontaneous words came out of their mouth with extreme joy they were feeling.
(however lyrics of " Tala'al Badru 'alayna " was never forgotten the compasition was lost after some years of Hijrah. It was Hammamizade İsmail Dede Efendi -Turkish composer of Ottoman Sultan- who has seen this nasheed in his dream and rewrote the notes of original nasheed.)
