Pledge of al-Aqaba: Difference between revisions

[[Abu Talib ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib]] and [[Khadija bint Khuwaylid]] passed away ten years after Bi'that, which left Prophet Muhammad (s) with no supporter, in addition he was under severe pressure from his enemies. He met six members of [[Banu Khazraj]] from Medina 11 years after Bi'that. According to the sources, they met either in [[Mina]] or in al-Aqaba. Prophet Muhammad (s) asked about their identity and their allies. They said they were Jews' ally. Then he introduced Islam and [[Quran]] to them. People of Medina vaguely knew about a Prophet in Medina, and they hoped Prophet could stop the adversaries between the tribes of [[Aws]] and [[Khazraj]]. After they returned to [[Yathrib]], they told about Prophet to people.
