Counsel for the Prophet Muhammad 's(Peace be upon Him) Killing:
With the advent of thirteenth year of Prophethood a lot of companions had migrated to Madinah.It was a matter of worry for Quraish when they observed that Muslims were getting powerful in Madinah and Islam was thriving there.
So,they started chalking out plans to eliminate Islam .They had a fixed place "house of counseling"for discussing local issues .All senior chiefs, representing each tribe, gathered there and discuss the ways to suppress this movement.
Some of them were of the view that Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon Him should be chained and confined in a lonely house but other rejected this idea and said,the companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon Him would rescue Him(SAW) and they may defeat us .
Some others opined that Muhammad SAW should be banished but this was also rejected on the ground that wherever He SAW goes,His(SAW)words will attract people and they will follow Him(SAW) and movement will gain momentum.
At the end,Abu Jahal said,that,select a youth from every tribe and make a group,this group will kill Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon Him.In this way ,all tribes will be included in His(SAW) murder and it will not be possible for Hashimite dynasty to wage a war single-handedly against all the tribes.Allgave asset to this plan and a night was for xed for this purpose and it was decided also that on that night the group of youths will besiege the house of Prophet Muhammad SAW and when He(SAW) steps out in the morning,they will kill Him(SAW).
Arabs used to avoid entering anybody's house at midnight.
ALLAH ALMIGHTY made Prophet Muhammad SAW aware of this plan and this was the time that Prophet Muhammad SAW got the order , through the revelation,to migrate from Makkah to Madinah.So, Prophet Muhammad SAW consulated Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.)two or three days prior to the migration and it was settled that Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.)will accompany Him(SAW).
Camels for this journey were also arranged.
