5. Would you like to meet him outside the institution? (cont.)

When Suhayl saw this, he was furious at the thought of his escape from imprisonment! He then shouted at the top of his voice, "This man, O Muhammad, is the first person I demand that you send back to me!" The Prophet said, "We haven't finalised the pact, yet." Suhayl said, "In that case, by Allah, I will not sign any pact with you!" The Prophet said, "Then allow me to take him." He said, "I will not allow you to take him." The Prophet said, "Indeed, you will!" He said, "No, I will not!" The Prophet then remained silent. He was very eager to bring Quraysh closer to Islam however much he could. He did Help by your speech if you cannot do so in any other way not wish that one Muslim's plight would have an adverse affect on the entire pact. Suhayl quickly got hold of his son and began to drag him along by his chains as Abu Jandal was shouting, begging the Muslims for help. He said, "O Muslims! Am I going to be returned to the pagans after I have come to you as a Muslim?! Do you not see the ordeal I have undergone?" He continued to call for help until he eventually disappeared from their sight. The Muslims' hearts were filled with grief over him. They saw a young man who was being tortured − the son of an elite figure who had left a life of ease for punishment and torture. They helplessly watched him dragged on the ground in chains in front of them to be returned to his prison. Abu Jandal thus went back to Makkah, asking Allah to make him steadfast on his religion, to protect him, and to grant him further conviction in his beliefs. The Muslims returned to Madinah with the Messenger of Allah , their hearts enraged by the disbelievers and at the same time pitiful for the weak and oppressed Muslims. Thereafter, the oppression against the Muslims increased to an extent that they were unable to bear it any longer. Abu Jandal, his friend Abu Baseer and other oppressed Muslims decided to plan an escape for themselves. Abu Baseer managed to escape and instantly headed for Madinah, hoping to be in the company of the Messenger of Allah and his Companions. He continued to walk in the heat of the desert until he finally reached Madinah and headed for the Mosque. As the Prophet was sitting with his companions, there came to them Abu Baseer Help by your speech if you cannot do so in any other way upon whom the affects of torture were quite visible. He looked exhausted from his journey. He had not even managed regain his breath when two men from the disbelievers of Quraysh arrived and entered the Mosque. When Abu Baseer saw them, he became terrified and began recalling the torture he had undergone. The two men entered shouting, "O Muhammad! Return him to us according to the pact you signed with us!" The Prophet remembered the pact he had signed with the Quraysh where he had agreed to return to them whoever comes to him from Makkah. He ordered Abu Baseer to leave Madinah, and so he did with the two disbelievers. When they exited Madinah, they sat down to eat. One of them sat with Abu Baseer while the other disappeared to relieve himself. The one sitting next to Abu Baseer took his sword out and began to play with it. He said to Abu Baseer jokingly, "I will strike with this sword al-Aws and al-Khazraj all day long!" Abu Baseer said to him, "By Allah, I see your sword is excellent!" He said, "Yes, by Allah! This sword is fine, I have used it over and over!" Abu Baseer said, "Allow me to have a look, please." The man gave him the sword. As soon as he got hold of it, he raised the sword and struck his neck with it, causing his head to fly off.When the man's companion came back and saw the body of his friend cut up, he was terrified and rushed to Madinah to the Prophet in his Mosque. When the Prophet saw him terrified, he said, "He must Help by your speech if you cannot do so in any other way have seen something awful." He stood in front of the Prophet and screamed, "By Allah, my friend has been killed and I am going to be killed, too!" It wasn't long before Abu Baseer entered the Mosque, looking sinister with a blood-stained sword in his hand. He said, "O Prophet of Allah! Allah has fulfilled your trust. You did return me to them, but Allah has saved me. Please, accept me!" The Prophet said, "No." Abu Baseer then said in a loud voice, "OK then, give me a man and I will conquer Makkah for you!" The Prophet was amazed at his valour.
