Four events <strong>of</strong> special significance occurred within<br />
less than four weeks — the conversion <strong>of</strong> Hamzah, the<br />
conversion <strong>of</strong> ‘Umar, <strong>Muhammad</strong>’s (Peace be upon him)<br />
refusal to negotiate any sort <strong>of</strong> compromise and then<br />
the pact drawn up between Banu Muttalib and Banu<br />
Hashim to immunize <strong>Muhammad</strong> (Peace be upon him)<br />
and shield him against any treacherous attempt to kill<br />
him. <strong>The</strong> polytheists were baffled and at a loss as to<br />
what course they would follow to rid themselves <strong>of</strong><br />
this obstinate and relentless obstacle that had<br />
appeared to shatter to pieces their whole tradition <strong>of</strong><br />
life. <strong>The</strong>y had already been aware that if they killed<br />
<strong>Muhammad</strong> (Peace be upon him) the blood would surely<br />
flow pr<strong>of</strong>usely in the valleys <strong>of</strong> Makkah and they would<br />
certainly be exterminated. Taking this dreadful<br />
prospect into consideration, they grudgingly resorted<br />
to a different iniquitous courses that would not imply<br />
murder.<br />
