The Prophetﷺ proceeded with the preaching. More and more people were converting to Islam. The enemies strengthened their plans and finally they came to a decision to approach Abu Talib, the paternal uncle of Muhammadﷺ. Let's ask for a control. The Quraish leaders came to Abu Talib and the conversation started. We agree that you are the leader and accepted among us. Do you know the crisis we are facing now? The method of preaching started by your nephew belittles us all, rejects our idols, and rejects our predecessors. We know you are also sad because you have not declared that religion! Either you control your nephew. If not, hand him over to us and we will handle him . Abu Talib comforted them for a while and sent them back with a good word.
The beloved Prophetﷺ continued his activities. The Quraish again raised objections against the Prophetﷺ and thought of different ways of protesting. Once again they approached Abu Talib. They started saying. You are venerable to us in age, position, and family honor, but you have not done so by asking to control your nephew. We can't tolerate it anymore. He denigrates our gods. Rejects our ancestors. If you can't control this, leave it to us. This will not be allowed any more. Either of the two parties! You can choose one of the two.
It was difficult for Abu Talib. The criticism of the natives and prominent people bothered him. And he was worried whether Muhammadﷺ would continue in the faith or withdraw from it. Anyway, a messenger was sent to the Prophetﷺ to bring him. Abu Talib spoke to the Prophetﷺ. The locals approached me and told me all the things.Don't make me carry anything that I can't bear.
As soon as the conversation started, the Prophetﷺ realized Abu Talib's helplessness and the pressure of standing with him. Immediately the Prophet ﷺ said, "Oh, dear father... Even if they say that they will put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand, I Can't give up my mission". Either this ideology will win or I will continue on the path till death. Saying this, the Prophet ﷺ walked back. Immediately Abu Talib called him back and said. My dear, follow steadfast on your aim ... I will not leave you to anyone. Then Abu Talib sang like this.
(Wallahi lan yaswilu ilaika...)
"By Allah...even if they come together
I will not avoid you as long as I live.
Go ahead without hesitation.
Until you are happy.
You invited me with purity of intention
That's right, you're 'Al Ameen' , aren't you?
If only satire was not feared (from my people)
I would have proclaimed this truth".
The Quraish were not satisfied with this position of Abu Talib. They approached him again with a different idea.
