The 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal is commonly cited, but this does not fit the reported travel time from Makkah (a fast rider took about 3.5 days, a slow caravan up to 9); an 8th or 9th of Rabi' al-Awwal is more likely.

The exact date the Prophet ﷺ arrived at Quba is disputed. The 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal is commonly cited, but this does not fit the reported travel time from Makkah (a fast rider took about 3.5 days, a slow caravan up to 9); an 8th or 9th of Rabi' al-Awwal is more likely.
After arriving at Quba around high noon on a Monday, the Prophet ﷺ stayed at the house of Kulthum ibn al-Hidm RA, an elderly man of Banu Amr ibn Awf; the first sahabi to die in Madinah after the Prophet ﷺ's arrival. It is also said he stayed at the house of Sa'd ibn Khaythama RA, a bachelor; some reports reconcile this by saying he spent the night at Kulthum RA's house (a married man with children) and the day at Sa'd RA's house (a bachelor, so guests could visit without difficulty). Abu Bakr RA stayed at the house of another of the Ansar.
Kulthum ibn al-Hidm RA was granted the honor of hosting the Prophet ﷺ and then dying shortly after, in Madinah.
