'''Shi'b Abi Talib''' (Arabic: {{ia|شِعب أبي طالب}}, Valley of Abu Talib) is a valley between the [[Mount Abu Qubays]] and the [[Mount Khandama]] in [[Mecca]]. Seven years after [[Bi'tha]], [[polytheist]]s of Mecca declared an economic and social boycott on the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], [[Banu Hashim]] and [[Muslim]]s. So they lived in Shi'b Abi Talib for three years under blockade.
'''Boycott of Banu Hashim''' is the economic and social boycott by [[polytheist]]s of Mecca on [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], [[Banu Hashim]] and [[Muslim]]s. The boycott started seven years after [[Bi'tha]] (in [[7 BH]]) and they Muslims lived in [[Shi'b Abi Talib]] (Valley of Abu Talib) which is in the east of [[Ka'ba]] between the [[Mount Abu Qubays]] and the [[Mount Khandama]] in [[Mecca]]. The valley was owned by [['Abd al-Muttalib]] and the house of [[Lady Khadija (a)]] and [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] was located there.


In his letter to [[Mu'awiya]], [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] mentioned the enmity of [[Quraysh]] and their three-year-boycott against Muslims in the valley of Abu Talib.
The boycott lasted for three years and children of Banu Hashim were suffering from the difficulties.


The valley was owned by [['Abd al-Muttalib]] and the house of [[Lady Khadija (a)]] where she lived with [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], and their children were born in, was located there. The valley is in the east of [[Ka'ba]], next to the place where [[Sa'y]] is performed. Because the valley is located close to Ka'ba, it was regarded as the best place in [[Mecca]]. As [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] was also born in that region, it is also called as Shi'b al-Mawlid (Arabic: {{ia|شِعب المولد}}, the birthplace valley); [[Lady Fatima (a)]] was born in this region as well. Today, only a small part of this region, called Suq al-Layl, is left and the other parts were added to [[al-Masjid al-Haram]] in different expansions of the mosque.
After three years under blockade, the boycott ended in [[4 BH]] (ten years after [[Bi'tha]]). In his letter to [[Mu'awiya]], [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] mentioned the enmity of [[Quraysh]] and their three-year-boycott against Muslims in the valley of Abu Talib.
