worshipped the idols his father and
grandfather worshipped, and their
fathers too.

a bed. Tears came to the Holy
Prophet Muhammad’s [s] eyes as
he kneeled by his uncles side, hold-
ing his frail hand tightly.

the other chiefs of the Quraysh. He
frowned and squinted his beady,
cold eyes, grinding his teeth in
hatred as the Prophet [s] sat there
