The young Qurayshi men waited in
silence throughout the night until, at
dawn, the door swung open. The
attackers sprang forward, tearing
off the sheets of the bed. But what
was this! They were all frozen still!
Instead of the Prophet [s], they saw
Ali [r], the son of their old chief, Abu
Talib.
They had been tricked! Shouting in
anger, they began at once to make
new plans to capture
Nabi
Muhammad [s]. Abu Jahl called out,
“
I will give a reward of one hundred
camels to anyone who captures
Muhammad and brings him back,
dead or alive.
”
People stretched out in search of
the Prophet [s], going in every
direction, searching in every house
and in every village, behind every
tree and even under every stone.
