important exploits in Makkah before the Hijrah 2.1. Accepting Islam One of the blessings that AUah (fg) bestowed upon 'Ali ibn Abi Taib (&), and what Allah willed for him of good, was that a severe crisis befell Quraysh. Ahu T a b had many children, and the Messenger of Allah (@) said to his paternal uncle al-'Ahhis - who was one of the most well off of Banu Quraysh - "0 'AbbL, your brother Ahu Tilib has many children, and you see what has happened to the people in this crisis. Let us go and reduce the number of his dependants; I will take one from his family and you will take one, and we will take care of them for him." Al-'Abbis agreed, so they went to Abu Taib and said to him: "We want to reduce the number of your dependants until this crisis has passed." He said to them: "If yon leave me 'Aqeel, then do whatever you want." So the Messenger of Allah (@) took 'Ali home, and al-'Abbis took Ja'far (&). 'Ali ibn Abi ~ a i b (&) stayed with the Messenger of Allah (g) until his 'Ali ibn Abi Tilib in M a k h prophethood, then 'Ali (4) followed him and believed in him. Ja'far (&) stayed with al-'Abb2s until he became Muslim and no longer needed his help?5 We may note that the Messenger of Allah (@) wanted to pay back the kindness of his uncle Abu Tilib, who had sponsored him after the death of his grandfather 'Abdul-MuMib.
