HADRAT ABU BAKR ra 20<br />
alongside continuing to beat the Holy Prophet sa and use abusive<br />
language toward him.<br />
When <strong>Hadrat</strong> <strong>Abu</strong> <strong>Bakr</strong> ra was informed of this, he<br />
immediately rushed into the angry crowd of disbelievers. He ran<br />
through the group of disbelievers, hitting and pushing the attackers<br />
out of the way, until he was able to rescue the Holy Prophet sa .<br />
During the struggle he kept repeating, “Do you persecute a man<br />
only because he says, ‘My Lord is Allah’?” 7<br />
At this, the disbelievers became so enraged that they started<br />
beating him as well. They beat him so severely that his head began<br />
to bleed. As he was being beaten, he kept saying, “O my Lord of<br />
Honour and Majesty, You are full of blessings.” Finally, his relatives<br />
came to his rescue. His daughter, <strong>Hadrat</strong> ‘A’ishah ra said that when<br />
he arrived home, he had been beaten so badly that wherever his<br />
head was touched, hair would fall out.
