The | The leaders of Quraysh were irritated with the influence and astonishing expansion of Muslims and they tried to find a solution. When [[Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib]] converted to Islam and young members of Quraysh showed tendencies toward Islam, besides considering the freedom of Muslims in [[Abyssinia]], Quraysh leaders were stunned as their plans failed to succeed. Therefore, they decided to declare an economic and social boycott against [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], [[Banu Hashim]] and Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib except for [[Abu Lahab]] and his children<ref>Miqrizī, ''Imtāʿ al-asmāʿ'', vol. 1, p. 44.</ref> in order to stop increasing influence and expansion of Islam.<ref>Ibn Saʿd, ''al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol. 1, p. 163.</ref> | ||

The boycott of [[Banu Hashim]] took place in Shi'b Abi Talib<ref>Ibn Saʿd, ''al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol. 1, p. 163.</ref> This Shi'b is located near [[al-Masjid al-Haram]] and behind [[Safa and Marwa]] mountains. It was between [[Mount Abu Qubays]] and Mount Khandama.<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-nabawiyya'', vol. 1, p. 352.</ref> When a person exits al-Masjid al-Haram from Bab al-'Abbas gate, 'Ali gate, or al-Salam gate and passes Mas'a (the place [[sa'y]] is performed) an open space can be seen which is located below the Mount Abu Qubays which is the exact location of Shi'b Abi Talib. The house of [[Khadija (s)]] where she and Prophet Muhammad (s) were living was also located in this valley. Also [[Lady Fatima (s)]] was born in that house<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madina'', p. 114.</ref> | |||
Today, only a small part of it remains which is called Suq al-Layl located on the mountain opposite from Mas'a. Most of the historical houses and places of Shi'b Abi Talib are currently added to al-Masjid al-Haram in different expansions.<ref>Jaʿfarīyān, ''Āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madina'', p. 151.</ref> | |||

According to Ibn Sa'd, the boycott started in Muharram of the 7th year after Bi'tha.<ref>Ibn Saʿd, ''al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol. 1, p. 163.</ref> and Miqrizi mentions it to be on the [[Muharram 1]].<ref>Miqrizī, ''Imtāʿ al-asmāʿ'', vol. 1, p. 44.</ref> The Boycott lasted for three years<ref>Ibn Saʿd, ''al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol. 1, p. 163.</ref> and ended after three years in the 10th year after Bi'tha.<ref>Qāʾidān, Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Mecca wa Medina, p. 114</ref> | |||
