Shi'b Abi Talib: Difference between revisions

According to Nasr b. Muzahim, [[Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] has written in a letter to Mu'awiya about the tyrannies and oppressions of Quraysh in Shi'b Abi Talib against [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] and Muslims:

"Our relatives (Quraysh tribe) decided to kill Prophet Muhammad (s) to end the lineage of Prophet (s). They decided our fate and posed oppressions against us, they blocked our access to water, they frightened Muslims, put spies to watch us and forced us to take shelter in a narrow valley. It was not enough for them as they launched attacks and battles against us and wrote treaties so that they should not eat, drink with us, they banned having any marital relations and trades with us. They put us at risk because we refrain from handing Prophet Muhammad (s) over to them, as they wanted to kill him and mutilate his body. Except for the [[Hajj]] time, we were in danger of attacks. However God decided that we protected Prophet (s) restlessly. Our Muslim members were protecting him as they were promised rewards from God and our disbelievers were protecting him in order to protect their relatives and clan."
