Muhammad: Seal of the Prophets — Page 128
MUHAMMAD : SEAL OF THE PROPHETS 128 would not dare to fight with the whole of Quraish and would thus be reduced to accepting blood money for Muhammad, which we shall all provide. ’ This was agreed to. This nefarious plan is mentioned in the Holy Quran as follows: ‘Call to mind the time, when the disbelievers plotted against thee that they might confine thee, or kill thee, or expel thee. They planned and Allah also planned, and Allah is the best of planners’ (8:31). God Almighty revealed their plan to the Holy Prophet, and directed him to migrate to Yathrab and not to spend even a single night more in Mecca. The Holy Prophet had been made aware by God much earlier that he should have one day to migrate from Mecca, and he was also shown in a vision the place to which he would have to migrate. It was a place of orchards and running springs. He described this vision later, and said that he had imagined that he would have to migrate to Yamamah or Hajar, but it turned out t o be Yathrab.
