Al-Juhfah: Difference between revisions

During the time of [[the Prophet (s)]], al-Juhfah had important events, one of its most important ones were some [[Sariyya|Saryas]] of the Prophet (s) such as sariyya 'Ubayda b. Harith (month 8 AH) in Rabigh near al-Juhfah and also sariyya Kharar led by Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas (month 9 AH).

Upon the [[battle of Badr]] when the polytheists were informed of the escape of the commercial caravan, some people including Bani Zuhra stopped going to the battle and returned to Mecca from al-Juhfah. In this region, Jahim b. Salt dreamed killing of the chiefs of [[Quraysh]] in that battle, but [[Abu Jahl]] ridiculed him.  

There are also reports of historians about the Prophet's (s) staying in this place in the way toward Mecca for the [[Treaty of Hudaybiyya|Event of Hudaybiyya]] (6 AH) and also wearing of Ihram by some Muslims who did not wear Ihram in [[Dhu l-Hulayfa]]. According to these reports, Muslims faced shortage of water in this place and the Prophet (s) sent some people to find water, but they returned without success due to their fear from Meccans and finally the Prophet (s) sent [[Imam Ali (a)]] for it. It seems that it was in this place that polytheists were informed of Muslims' movement.

The next year, the Prophet (s) wore Ihram in al-Juhfah upon going for [['Umrat al-Qada']]. When the Prophet (s) was going to take Mecca (8 AH), his uncle [[Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib|Abbas]] joined the army of Muslims in this place.
