Shavvol oyida (miloddan avvalgi 619 yil may oxiri yoki iyun boshida), Rabbisi tomonidan payg‘ambarlik topshirilganidan o‘n yil o‘tgach, Payg‘ambar ﷺ o‘zining ozod qilingan quli Zayd ibn Horis bilan birga, Makkadan taxminan 60 kilometr uzoqlikdagi At-Ta’ifga yo‘l oldilar va odamlarni Islomga da’vat qildilar. Ammo kutganlariga zid o‘laroq, umumiy muhit dahshatli darajada dushmanona edi. U shaharning zodagonlari qatoriga kiruvchi ‘Umayr oilasiga murojaat qildi. Ammo, afsuski, ularning hammasi uning xabariga quloq solmadi va u intilayotgan olijanob ish haqida haqoratli so‘zlar bilan gapirdi. Saqif qabilasi boshliqlaridan uch aka-uka — ‘Abd Yalil, Mas‘ud va Habib, ‘Amr ibn ‘Umayr ash-Saqafiyning o‘g‘illari Payg‘ambar ﷺ bilan uchrashdilar. U ularni Islomni qabul qilishga va Allohga ibodat qilishga chaqirdi, lekin ular uni shafqatsizlarcha masxara qilib, da’vatini rad etdilar. Ulardan biri: “U Ka‘ba pardalarini yirtyapti; Alloh sizni Elchi qilib yuborgan, bu rostmi?” dedi. Ikkinchisi: “Alloh o‘z Xabarini topshirish uchun boshqa birortasini topa olmadimi?” dedi. Uchinchisi: “Alloh haqqi, men sizlar bilan hech qachon aloqa qilmayman. Agar siz haqiqatan Alloh Elchisi bo‘lsangiz, unda siz javob berishga arziydigan darajada jiddiy emassiz; agar Allohni yolg‘onga chiqarayotgan bo‘lsangiz, unda sizlar bilan gaplashmaslik zarur deb hisoblayman”, dedi. Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ularning umidsiz ekanini ko‘rib, o‘rnidan turdi va: “Agar bu odatlaringizni davom ettirmoqchi bo‘lsangiz, ularni menga hech qachon oshkor qilmang”, deb ularni tark etdi.

In Shawwal (in the last of May or in the beginning of June 619 A.D.), ten years after receiving his mission from his Lord, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) set out towards At-Ta’if, about 60 kilometres from Makkah, in the company of his freed slave Zaid bin Haritha inviting people to Islam. But contrary to his expectations, the general atmosphere was terribly hostile. He approached the family of ‘Umair, who were reckoned amongst the nobility of the town. But, to his disappointment, all of them turned deaf ear to his message and used abusive language as regards the noble cause he had been striving for. Three brothers from the chieftains of Thaqeef —‘Abd Yaleel, Mas‘ud and Habeeb — sons of ‘Amr bin ‘Umair Ath-Thaqafy met the Prophet (Peace be upon him) , who invited them to embrace Islam and worship Allâh, but they impudently jeered at him and refused his invitation. “He is tearing the cloths of Al-Ka‘bah; is it true that Allâh has sent you as a Messenger?” said one of them. “Has not Allâh found someone else to entrust him with His Message?” said the second. “I swear by Allâh that I will never have any contact with you. If you are really the Messenger of Allâh, then you are too serious to retort back; and if you are belying Allâh, then I feel it is imperative not to speak to.” said the third. The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) , finding that they were hopeless cases, stood up and left them saying: “Should you indulge in these practices of yours, never divulge them to me.”.

U o'n kun davomida u u yerda qolib, bir-biridan keyin bir necha kishiga o'z xabarini yetkazdi, ammo hammasi befoyda ketdi. Istalmagan mehmonning tezroq jo'nab ketishiga undalgan odamlar uni ko'cha-ko'ylar bo'ylab haqorat qilib quvdi, toshbo'ron qildi va shaharni tark etib qochishga majbur qildi; uni shafqatsiz olomon ta'qib qildi. Ikki oyog'idan qon oqdi; Zayd esa uni himoya qilishga urinib, boshidan yaralandi. Olomon uni qumli tekisliklar bo'ylab ikki-uch milya masofagacha, atrofdagi tepaliklarning etagigacha quvib bordi va to'xtamadi. U yerda charchab-holdan toygan holda u ko'plab bog'lardan birida panoh topdi va uzum bog'ining devoriga suyanib dam oldi. Butun dunyo unga qarshi o'girilganga o'xshagan bir paytda, Muhammad ﷺ Rabbiyiga yuzlandi, ibodat va duoga berildi; uning ezilgan qalbi qayg'usini to'kib solgan, bugungacha saqlanib qolgan quyidagi ta'sirli so'zlar shu paytda aytilgan. U holsiz va yaralangan edi, ammo Rabbisining yordamiga ishonardi:

For ten days he stayed there delivering his message to several people, one after another, but all to no purpose. Stirred up to hasten the departure of the unwelcome visitor, the people hooted him through the alley-ways, pelted him with stones and obliged him to flee from the city pursued by a relentless rabble. Blood flowed down both his legs; and Zaid, endeavouring to shield him, was wounded in the head. The mob did not desist until they had chased him two or three miles across the sandy plains to the foot of the surrounding hills. There, wearied and exhausted, he took refuge in one of the numerous orchards, and rested against the wall of a vineyard. At a time when the whole world seemed to have turned against him, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) turned to his Lord and betook himself to prayer and the following touching words are still preserved as those through which his oppressed soul gave vent to its distress. He was weary and wounded but confident of the help of his Lord:

• “Ey Olloh! Ojizligimni, imkoniyatlarimning kamligini va odamlar oldidagi nochorligimni faqat Sendan shikoyat qilaman. Sen rahmlilarning eng rahmlisisan. Sen ojiz va zaif kishilarning Rabbisisan, ey mening Rabbim! Meni kimning qo‘liga topshirasan: menga achinmay, past nazar bilan qarovchi uzoq qarindoshning qo‘liga yoki ishlarimni boshqarish huquqi berilgan dushmanning qo‘liga? Ammo Sening g‘azabing menga tushmas ekan, men uchun tashvishlanadigan hech narsa yo‘q.”

• “O Allâh! To You alone I make complaint of my helplessness, the paucity of my resources and my insignificance before mankind. You are the most Merciful of the mercifuls. You are the Lord of the helpless and the weak, O Lord of mine! Into whose hands would You abandon me: into the hands of an unsympathetic distant relative who would sullenly frown at me, or to the enemy who has been given control over my affairs? But if Your wrath does not fall on me, there is nothing for me to worry about.”.

“Sening yuzing nurining panohi bilan himoya so‘rayman, ki u osmonlarni yoritadi va zulmatni yo‘qotadi, bu dunyo va oxirat ishlarining barchasini boshqaradi. Sening g‘azabingga uchrashim yoki Sen menga g‘azablanishing hech qachon bo‘lmasin. Kuch ham, qudrat ham faqat Sendadir.”

“I seek protection in the light of Your Countenance, which illuminates the heavens and dispels darkness, and which controls all affairs in this world as well as in the Hereafter. May it never be that I should incur Your wrath, or that You should be wrathful to me. And there is no power nor resource, but Yours alone.”.

Ularning bu holatini ko‘rib, Rabi‘aning ikki o‘g‘li — Makkaning boy odamlari — qarindoshlik va mehr-shafqat tuyg‘usi bilan harakatga kelib, unga bir nechta uzum solingan laganda bir nasroniy xizmatkorini yubordilar. Payg‘ambar ﷺ mevani “Allohning nomi bilan” degan duo bilan qabul qildilar. Nasroniy xizmatkor ‘Addos bu so‘zlardan juda hayratga tushdi va dedi: “Bu yurtdagi odamlar odatda ishlatmaydigan so‘zlar.” Payg‘ambar ﷺ undan qayerdan kelganini va qanday dinga e’tiqod qilishini so‘radilar. ‘Addos javob berdi: “Men e’tiqodim bo‘yicha nasroniyman va Ninavodan kelganman.” Payg‘ambar ﷺ shunda dedilar: “Sen solih Yunus ibn Matto shahridansan.” ‘Addos tashvish bilan undan Yunus haqida biror narsa bilishini so‘radi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ ma’noli tarzda dedilar: “U mening birodarim. U ham payg‘ambar edi, men ham payg‘ambarman.” Shunda ‘Addos Muhammad ﷺ oldida ta’zim qildi va qo‘llarini o‘pdi. Xo‘jayinlari bu ishi uchun uni koyidilar, lekin u javob berdi: “Yer yuzida undan yaxshiroq hech kim yo‘q. U menga faqat payg‘ambargina aytishi mumkin bo‘lgan haqiqatni ochib berdi.” Ular uni yana tanbeh berib dedilar: “Ota-bobolaringning dinini tark etishing oqibatlaridan seni ogohlantiramiz. Sen e’tiqod qilayotgan din, moyil bo‘lib turgan dindan ancha yaxshidir.”

Seeing him in this helpless situation, Rabi‘a’s two sons, wealthy Makkans, were moved on grounds of kinship and compassion, and sent to him one of their Christian servants with a tray of grapes. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) accepted the fruit with pious invocation: “In the Name of the Allâh.” The Christian servant ‘Addas was greatly impressed by these words and said: “These are words which people in this land do not generally use.” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) inquired of him whence he came and what religion he professed. ‘Addas replied: “I am a Christian by faith and come from Nineveh.” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) then said: “You belong to the city of the righteous Jonah, son of Matta.” ‘Addas asked him anxiously if he knew anything about Jonah. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) significantly remarked: “He is my brother. He was a Prophet and so am I.” Thereupon ‘Addas paid homage to Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and kissed his hands. His masters admonished him at this act but he replied: “None on the earth is better than he is. He has revealed to me a truth which only a Prophet can do.” They again reprimanded him and said: “We forewarn you against the consequences of abandoning the faith of your forefathers. The religion which you profess is far better than the one you feel inclined to.”.

Qayg'u va g'am ichida bo'lgan Muhammad ﷺ Makkaga qaytish yo'liga chiqdi. U Qarn al-Manozilga yetganda, Alloh Taolo unga Jabroil alayhissalomni yer tog'lari farishtasi bilan birga yubordi. Tog'lar farishtasi Payg'ambar ﷺdan Makkani Al-Axshabayn — Abu Qubays va Quaykaan tog'lari orasiga ko'mishga ruxsat so'radi. Bu voqeaning to'liq rivoyatini Oisha (roziyallohu anho), Payg'ambar ﷺning xotinlari, bayon qilgan. U dedi: "Men Payg'ambardan ﷺ so'radim: Uhud kunidan ham og'irroq kun boshingizdan o'tganmi? U javob berdi: Men o'sha odamlardan (mushriklardan) ko'p azob chekdim, ammo eng og'iri Oqaba kuni bo'ldi. Men Ibn Abd Yolil ibn Abd Kallalga yordam so'rab bordim, ammo u meni rad etdi. Men charchagan va qayg'uli holda, atrofimda nima bo'layotganidan bexabar ketdim, to birdan o'zimni Qarn ath-Tha'olib, ya'ni Qarn al-Manozil deb ataladigan joyda ekanimni angladim. U yerda boshimni ko'tarib, ustimga soya solayotgan bulutni ko'rdim va Jabroil meni chaqirib dedi: Alloh sening qavmingning so'zlarini eshitdi va yordaming uchun sengа tog'lar farishtasini yubordi. U menga chaqirib salom berdi va Makkani ikki tog' — Al-Axshabayn orasiga ko'mishimga ruxsat so'radi. Men javob berdim: Men ular nasli ichidan Allohga, yagona Qudratli Zotga sherik keltirmay ibodat qiladigan kishi chiqishini afzal ko'raman." Bu qisqa, ma'noli javob Payg'ambar ﷺning benazir xulqi va chuqur saxiyligini to'liq ifodalaydi.

Heart-broken and depressed, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) set out on the way back to Makkah. When he reached Qarn Al-Manazil, Allâh, the Almighty sent him Gabriel together with the angel of mountains. The latter asked the Prophet (Peace be upon him) for permission to bury Makkah between Al–Akhshabain —Abu Qubais and Qu‘ayqa‘an mountains. Full narration of this event was given by ‘Aishah (May be pleased with her) (the Prophet’s spouse). She said: “I asked the Prophet (Peace be upon him) if he had ever experienced a worse day than Uhud. He answered that he had suffered a lot from those people (the idolaters) but the most painful was on the day of ‘Aqabah. I went seeking support from Ibn ‘Abd Yalil bin ‘Abd Kalal, but he spurned me. I set out wearied and grieved heedless of anything around me until I suddenly realized I was in Qarn Ath-Tha‘alib, called Qarn Al-Manazil. There, I looked up and saw a cloud casting its shade on me, and Gabriel addressing me: Allâh has heard your people’s words and sent you the angel of mountains to your aid. The latter called and gave me his greetings and asked for my permission to bury Makkah between Al-Akhshabain, the two mountains flanking Makkah. I said in reply that I would rather have someone from their loins who will worship Allâh, the All–Mighty with no associate.” A concise meaningful answer fully indicative of the Prophet’s matchless character and the fathomless magnanimous manners.

Allohning Elchisi (ﷺ) so'ngra hushiga qaytdi va yuragi o'sha ko'rinmas, Ilohiy ko'mak nuridan tinchlandi. U Nakhla vodiysiga yo'l oldi va u yerda bir necha kun qoldi.

The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) then came back to wakefulness and his heart was set at rest in the light of that invisible Divinely provided aid. He proceeded to Wadi Nakhlah where he stayed for a few days.

Uning u yerda turgan paytida Alloh unga bir guruh jinnlarni yubordi, ular uning Karim Qur'onni tilovat qilayotganini tinglashdi.

During his stay there, Allâh sent him a company of jinns who listened to him reciting the Noble Qur’ân:

“Va (eslang) Biz sizga [Muhammad ﷺ] tomon jinlardan bir guruhni — uch kishidan to o‘n kishigacha — yubordik, ular Qur’onni (sukut saqlab) tinglardi. Huzurida turganlarida: «Jim bo‘linglar!» dedilar. Tugagach, ular o‘z qavmlariga ogohlantiruvchilar sifatida qaytdilar. Dedilar: «Ey qavmimiz! Biz Musodan keyin nozil qilingan, o‘zidan oldingilarni tasdiqlovchi, Haqqa va To‘g‘ri yo‘lga (ya’ni Islomga) hidoyat qiluvchi bir Kitobni eshitdik. Ey qavmimiz! Allohning Da’vatchisiga [ya’ni Allohning Elchisi Muhammad ﷺ ga] javob bering (itoat bilan) va unga iymon keltiring (ya’ni Muhammad ﷺ Alloh tomonidan olib kelgan narsaga ishoning va unga ergashing). U (Alloh) sizning gunohlaringizni mag‘firat qiladi va sizni alamli azobdan (ya’ni Do‘zax olovidan) qutqaradi».» [46:29-31].

• “And (remember) when We sent towards you [Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ] Nafran (three to ten persons) of the jinns, (quietly) listening to the Qur’ân, when they stood in the presence thereof, they said: ‘Listen in silence!’ And when it was finished, they returned to their people, as warners. They said: ‘O our people! Verily! We have heard a Book (this Qur’ân) sent down after Moses, confirming what came before it, it guides to the Truth and to a Straight Path (i.e. Islam). O our people! Respond (with obedience) to Allâh’s Caller [i.e. Allâh’s Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ], and believe in him (i.e. believe in that which Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has brought from Allâh and follow him). He (Allâh) will forgive you of your sins, and will save you from a painful torment (i.e. Hell-fire).’” [46:29-31].

Xuddi shu voqea Jin surasida ham eslatiladi.

The same incident is referred to in Sûrah Al-Jinn:

“De [Ey Muhammad ﷺ]: “Menga vahiy qilindiki, jinlardan bir guruh (uch yoki o‘nta) (bu Qur’onni) tinglagan. Ular dedilar: “Albatta, biz ajoyib bir tilovatni eshitdik! U to‘g‘ri yo‘lga boshlaydi va biz unga iymon keltirdik hamda Rabbimiz (Alloh)ga hech narsani sherik qilmaymiz.”” [72:1,2] … 15-oyatning oxirigacha.

•“Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ]: “It has been revealed to me that a group (from three to ten in number) of jinns listened (to this Qur’ân). They said: ‘Verily! We have heard a wonderful Recital (this Qur’ân)! It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allâh).’” [72:1,2] … Till the end of the 15th verse.

Ushbu oyatlar va ularning tegishli tafsiri kontekstidan shuni ishonch bilan xulosa qilish mumkinki, Payg'ambar ﷺ o'sha jinlar guruhining borligidan xabardor emas edilar. Alloh bu oyatlarni nozil qilgandagina ular buni bildilar. Oyatlar shuningdek, bu ularning birinchi marta kelganini tasdiqlaydi. Biroq turli rivoyatlarning konteksti jinlarning keyinroq ham qayta kelganini ko'rsatadi. Jinlarning bu guruhi mavjudligi Allohning O'z Elchisiga ko'rsatgan ilohiy yordami kontekstida keladi va Islom da'vati uchun oxir-oqibat g'alaba va muvaffaqiyatning yaxshi alomatini tashkil etadi. U shu narsaning isboti bo'ladiki, Allohning amrini qanchalik qudratli kuch bo'lmasin, o'zgartira olmaydi.

From the context of these verses and their relevant interpretation, we can safely establish it that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) was not aware of the presence of that group of jinns. It was only when Allâh revealed those verses that he came to know of it. The verses also confirm that it was the first time they came. However, the context of the different versions suggests that the jinns repeated their visits later on. The presence of that company of jinns comes in the context of the Divine support givto His Messenger, and constitutes a propitious sign of ultimate victory and success for the Call of Islam. It provides an unshakable proof that no power however mighty could alter what is wrought by Allâh:

• «Kim Allohning Chaqiruvchisiga javob bermasa, u yer yuzida qochib qutula olmaydi va Allohdan boshqa uning uchun hech qanday himoyachilar bo‘lmaydi (Allohning azobidan). Ana o‘shalar ochiq adashuvdadirlar». [46:32]

• “And whosoever does not respond to Allâh’s Caller, he cannot escape on earth, and there will be no Auliyâ (protectors) from him besides Allâh (from Allâh’s punishment). Those are in manifest error.” [46:32].

"Biz esa, yer yuzida Alloh (azobi)dan qocha olmasligimizni va qochish orqali (azobdan) qutula olmasligimizni o‘ylaymiz." [72:12].

“And we think that we cannot escape (from the punishment of) Allâ h in the earth, nor can we escape (from the punishment) by flight.” [72:12].

Ushbu qo‘llab-quvvatlash va baxtli boshlanish tufayli, Ta’if shahridan haydalganidan beri uni qiynab kelgan g‘am, ruhiy tushkunlik va qayg‘u ortda qoldi. U yuzini Makkaga qaratdi va avvalgi rejasini davom ettirish, odamlarni Islomga da’vat qilish va Xabarini katta g‘ayrat hamda benazir shijoat bilan yetkazish uchun yangi irodaga ega bo‘ldi ﷺ.

Given this support and auspicious start, depression, dismay and sadness that used to beset him since he was driven out of At-Ta’if, he turned his face towards Makkah with fresh determination to resume his earlier plan to expose people to Islam and communicate his Message in a great spirit of zeal and matchless enthusiasm.

Zayd ibn Horisa, uning sahobasi, Payg'ambar ﷺ ga murojaat qilib dedi: "Quraysh sizni chiqarib yuborganidan keyin, qanday qilib Makkaga qadam qo'yishga jur'at etasiz?" Payg'ambar ﷺ javob berdi: "Eshit, Zayd! Albatta, Alloh yengillik beradi va albatta, O'z dinini va Payg'ambarini qo'llab-quvvatlaydi."

Zaid bin Harithah, his companion, addressing the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, “How dare you step into Makkah after they (Quraish) have expatriated you?” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) answered: “Hearken Zaid, Allâh will surely provide relief and He will verily support His religion and Prophet.”.

Когда он находился на небольшом расстоянии от Мекки, он удалился в пещеру Хира. Оттуда он отправил человека из племени Хуза‘а к Аль-Ахнасу бин Шурайку с просьбой о защите. Тот ответил, что он союзник курайшитов и не в состоянии предоставить защиту. Он отправил посланника и к Сухайлю бин ‘Амру, но и это не принесло результата. Однако Аль-Мут‘им бин ‘Ади, один из знатных людей Мекки, вызвался откликнуться на призыв Пророка ﷺ о убежище. Он попросил своих людей полностью вооружиться, а затем пригласил Мухаммада ﷺ войти в город и прямо в Священную мечеть. Пророк ﷺ совершил молитву из двух рак‘атов и направился к своему дому, охраняемый вооружёнными до зубов сыновьями ‘Ади.

When he was a short distance from Makkah, he retired to Hira’ Cave. Whence he despatched a man from Khuza‘ah tribe to Al-Akhnas bin Shuraiq seeking his protection. The latter answered that he was Quraish’s ally and in no position to offer protection. He despatched the messenger to Suhail bin ‘Amr, but to no avail, either. Al-Mut‘im bin ‘Adi, a notable in Makkah, however, volunteered to respond to the Prophet’s appeal for shelter. He asked his people to prepare themselves fully armed and then asked Muhammad (Peace be upon him) to enter into the town and directly into the Holy Sanctuary. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) observed a two-Rak‘a prayer and left for his house guarded by the heavily-armed vigilant ‘Adi’s.

Keyinroq Abu Jahl, Islomning eng yirik dushmani, Mut‘imdan uning xatti-harakati himoya berish niyatidami yoki dinni qabul qilish niyatidami, deb so‘radi. Mut‘im bu faqat himoya berish ekanini javob qildi. Abu Jahl bundan xotirjam bo‘ldi va uning hurmatiga Muhammad ﷺ ga ham himoya berishini aytdi.

It has been reported that later Abu Jahl, the archenemy of Islam, asked Mut‘im if his behaviour suggested protection or conversion, the latter replied it was merely protection. Abu Jahl was relieved and said that he would give Muhammad protection for his sake.

Allohning Elchisi ﷺ Mut‘im ko‘rsatgan yaxshiligini hech qachon unutmadi. Badr jangi tugagach, u ochiqdan-ochiq e’lon qildi: agar Mut‘im hali tirik bo‘lib, Quraysh asirlarini ozod qilishni so‘raganida, uning iltimosini rad etmas edi.

The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) never forgot Mut‘im’s favour. At the conclusion of the battle of Badr, he declared publicly that if Mut‘im had been still alive and asked for the release of the Quraishite captives, he would not deny him his request.
