Explanation
In the conventional seerah dating used in examinations, the Prophet's Hijrah began in the thirteenth year of Prophethood and is associated with 12 Rabi al-Awwal. More precise historical timelines distinguish the departure from Makkah on 27 Safar from the arrival in Madinah on 12 Rabi al-Awwal.
