Boycott of Banu Hashim: Difference between revisions

:Our relatives (Quraysh tribe) decided to kill our Prophet (s) and end our lineage. 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 and 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 protect the 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.<ref>Shūshtarī, ''Bahj al-ṣabāgha'', vol. 2, p. 355.</ref>
