Abu Jahl prevented people from conversion to [[Islam]]. When someone converted to Islam, he threatened or tortured him until he gave up on Islam. [[Bilal b. Rabah]], [[Yasir b. 'Amir]], and [[Sumayya bt. Khabbat]], among others, were tortured by him because they had embraced Islam and supported the Prophet (s). Sumayya was [[Martyrdom|martyred]] under his tortures. Moreover, he returned his maternal brother 'Ayyash b. Abu Rabiʿa, who had departed toward Medina to join [[Emigrants|Muslim migrants]], from [[Quba]] to [[Mecca]], where he imprisoned him. According to historical accounts, Abu Jahl had various plots in dealing with newly converted Muslims. If the convert had a social position, he humiliated and insulted him; if he was a merchant, he threatened to boycott his business and destroy his capital, and if he was impoverished, he tortured and persecuted him. | Abu Jahl prevented people from conversion to [[Islam]].<ref>Ibn Hishām, Al-Sīrat al-Nabī, vol. 1, p. 320.</ref> When someone converted to Islam, he threatened or tortured him until he gave up on Islam.<ref>Ibn Hishām, Al-Sīrat al-Nabī, vol. 1, p. 320.</ref> [[Bilal b.
