QURAISH:<br />

28:47 - If (We had) not (sent thee to the Quraish) in case a calamity should seize them for (the<br />

deeds) that their hands have sent forth they might say: "Our Lord! why didst Thou not send us<br />

an apostle? We should then have followed the Signs and been amongst those who believe!"<br />

3380<br />

3380 Now that a warner has come among them with all the authority that previous Messengers possessed and with all the<br />

knowledge which can only come by divine inspiration, they have no excuse left whatever. They cannot say, "No<br />

warner came to us." If any evil comes to them, as the inevitable result of their ill-deeds, they cannot blame Allah and<br />

say that they were not warned. Cf. xx. 134. (28.47)<br />

44:34 - As to these (Quraish) they say forsooth:<br />

54:43 - Are your Unbelievers (O Quraish) better than they? or have ye an immunity in the Sacred<br />

Books? 5159<br />

5159 If the Egyptians with all their power and science were unable to resist the punishment of their sins, the Pagan Quraish<br />

are asked: how will you fare when you come to a trial of strength against Allah's Truth? You are not specially favoured<br />

so as to be immune from Allah's Law. And if you rely on your numbers, they will be a broken reed when the trial<br />

comes, as indeed happened at the Battle of Badr. (54.43)<br />

106:1 - For the covenants (of security and safeguard enjoyed) by the Quraish 6276<br />

6276 The Quraish were the noblest tribe of Arabia, the tribe to which belonged the holy Prophet himself. They had the<br />

custody of the Ka'ba, the central shrine of Arabia, and their possession of Makkah gave them a triple advantage: (1)<br />

they had a commanding influence over other tribes; (2) their central position facilitated trade and intercourse, which<br />

gave them both honour and profit; and (3) the Makkah territory being by Arabian custom inviolable from the ravages of<br />

war and private feuds, they had a secure position, free from fear of danger. This honour and advantage they owed to<br />

their position as servants of the sacred shrine of the Ka'ba. They owed it to Allah. Was it not therefore right and fitting<br />

that they should adore the One True God, and listen to His Message of Unity and Purity, brought by His Prophet? In<br />

those days of general insecurity, their prestige as custodians of Makkah enabled them to obtain Covenants of security<br />

and safeguard from the rulers of neighbouring countries on all sides-Syria, Persia, Yaman, and Abyssinia-protecting<br />

their trade journey in all seasons. (106.1)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 4.185<br />

Abdullah<br />

Narrated by<br />

Once the Prophet was offering the prayer in the shade of the Ka'ba. Abu Jahl and some Quraishi men sent somebody to<br />

bring the abdominal contents of a she camel which had been slaughtered somewhere in Mecca, and when he brought them,<br />

they put them over the Prophet. Then Fatima (i.e. the Prophet's daughter) came and threw them away from him, and he said,<br />

"O Allah! Destroy (the pagans of) Quraish; O Allah! Destroy Quraish; O Allah Destroy Quraish," naming especially Abu Jahl<br />

bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Al Walid bin 'Utba, Ubai bin Khalaf and 'Uqba bin Abi Mitt. (The narrator,<br />

'Abdullah added, "I saw them all killed and thrown in the Badr well).<br />
