• Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah That he heard
  Allah's Apostle describing the period of pause of
  the Divine Inspiration, and in his description he
  said, "While I was walking I heard a voice from
  the sky. I looked up towards the sky, and behold!
  I saw the same Angel who came to me in the Cave
  of Hira', sitting on a chair between the sky and
  the earth. I was so terrified by him that I fell
  down on the ground. Then I went to my wife and
  said, 'Wrap me in garments! Wrap me in garments!'
  They wrapped me, and then Allah revealed "O you,
  (Muhammad) wrapped-up! Arise and warn...and
  desert the idols." (74.1-5) Abu Salama
  said....Rujz means idols." After that, the Divine
  Inspiration started coming more frequently and
  regularly.

  community of Sahaba (As-Sabiqoon)

  houses in Mecca and easy to access undetected

26
The First Muslims

  the call of Islam. (they thought that Muhammad
  was merely a religious outcast like Quss bin
  Saidah, Amr bin Nufail and their ilk)
• Quraysh started paying more attention as Islam
  started spreading and the followers adhere to the
  leadership and teachings of the Prophet
• Quraysh was alarmed by the content of the message
  that threatened their way of life and social
  order.

Uthman bin Mathun
Islam is spread in most clans of Quraysh

The First Muslims

• And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them
  gently. And had you been severe and
  harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from
  about you so pass over (their faults), and ask
  (Allah's) Forgiveness for them and consult them
  in the affairs. Then when you have taken a
  decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly,
  Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).

Mercy ??????

The First Muslims

  amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It
  grieves him that you should receive any injury or
  difficulty. He is anxious over you (to be rightly
  guided) for the believers (he is) full of pity,
  kind, and merciful.
