Five persons conspire to kill the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.)
At the time when the army of Islam was faced with disorder and
chaos, the Prophet was being attacked from all sides. Five notorious men of
Quraysh determined to put an end to his life at any cost. They were:
1. Abdullah bin Shahib who wounded the forehead of the Prophet.
2. Utbah Abi Waqqas who, by flinging four stones, broke his
ruba'iyat (Ruba'iyat are the teeth (four in number) which are between the front
teeth and the canine teeth) teeth of the right side.
3. Ibn Qumi'ah Laythi who inflicted a wound on the face of the
Prophet. The wound was so severe that the rings of the Prophet's helmet
penetrated into his cheeks. These rings were extracted by Abu Ubaydah Jarrah
with his teeth and he lost four of his own teeth in doing so.
4. Abdullah Hamid, who was killed, at the time of attack, at the
hands of the hero of Islam, Abu Dujanah.
5. Abi Khalf. He was one of those persons who fell at the hands of
the Prophet himself. He faced the Prophet at the time when He (the Prophet) had
managed to reach in the valley and some of his companions had come round him,
on having identified him. Abi Khalf advanced towards the Prophet. The Prophet
took a spear from Hasis bin Simmah and thrust it in the neck of Abi Khalf as a
consequence of which he fell down from his horse.
Although the wound sustained by Abi Khalf was minor, he had become
so much terrified that when his friends consoled him he could not compose
himself and said: "I said to Muhammad in Makkah that I would kill him and
he said in reply that he would kill me, and he never tells a lie". All was
over with him on account of the wound and fear, and after some time he breathed
his last on his way back to Makkah
