Men Around The Prophet

After their defeat in the battle of Badr the leaders of the Quraysh plot an attack on the Prophet. They decide to target Hamzah Ibn Abdul-Mutalib who had joined the ranks of the Prophet and who was responsible for the death of many of their people. The battle went on and Hamzah was martyred, at the hands of Wahshi Ibn Harb.

Abu Sufian continues his plan to bring down the Prophet by restricting his preaching during the pilgrimage of Mecca. They planned to not allow the Prophet to meet with Tufayl, a popular poet. Tufayl eventually hears the words of the Prophet, and accepts Islam and brings the people of Daws along with him.

Zayd ibn Harithah is brought to the aunt of Hakim ibn Hizam, where they discover he was not always a slave, but became one once his village was raided was sold into slavery. He is to soon worked for the Prophet Muhammad and his wife. While there he runs into his neighbor and finds out his family had not given up on looking for him. Zayd reveals that he is not a slave to the Prophet.

People rush to the Prophet after he called upon them from the top of Mount Safa. The Quaraysh leaders find out and decide to exchange Omara for the Prophet so that they could kill him since he was causing a stir in their system. Abu Talib rejects this deal that the Quraysh leaders proposed and assures the Prophet that they will never get him while he is still alive.

The Prophet comforts his companions who have been tortured due to their acceptance of Islam. As their persecution increases he bands the companions together to be steadfast and patient throughout the trying times and gives them permission to migrate to Abyssinia to evade any further harm from the Quraysh, and after that they head to the Angus, to find refuge and shelter from the Quraysh.

Abu Dahr hears of the arrival of the Prophet, and due to this lack of belief in the gods of his people and his belief that there is one God, he went to see the Prophet. He meets Ali, and after some reservation, tells Ali about his desire to meet the Prophet. After meeting the Prophet he embraces Islam, and is sent back to his people and keeps his conversion a secret until further instruction.
