Muhammad in Madinah, Day 12

Maghazi means battles. The earth of Allah is spacious.

People wanted to kill Muhammad. It was Abu Jahl's idea. He said, "Let's get one of the strongest men from all the tribes, give them each a sharp sword, and they all strike Muhammad. Then his family will ask for blood money, and we'll be happy to pay it."
Muhammad let Ali ibn Abi Talib sleep in his bed, and he and Abu Bakr left Makkah. Muhammad loved Makkah, and wouldn't ever leave it.

Muhammad and Abu Bakr hid in a cave. The men came to the cave, but they didn't go in because the web of a spider was there. It was a soldier of Allah. They stayed in the cave for three days.
Abu Bakr's son Abdullah would eavesdrop on the men in Makkah, and then at night he would share it with Abu Bakr and Muhammad in the cave.

Umm Aabat was this person who always provided people with food whenever they passed her tent. So Muhammad passed by her tent and asked,
"Oh Umm Aabat, do you have anything to spare?"
She said, "If I did, I would have given it to you."
Muhammad peeked in the tent and saw a weak she-goat. He asked, "What is wrong with her?"
Umm Aabat said, "She is too weak to graze with the other goats in the flock."
He said,"Does she have any milk in her?"
She said, "She is too weak for that."
"Can I milk her?"
"Go ahead."
Muhammad asked for a big container. He milked the goat and filled the container to the top. It was a miracle!

In Makkah, people usually sleep at noon because it is very hot.

Abu Jahl came to Abu Bakr's house and knocked on the door. Abu Bakr's daughter Asma opened the door. Abu Jahl asked her, "Where is your father?" She said, "I don't know where my father is." Abu Jahl slapped her face. She lied, but in this situation, it's okay to lie, for the sake of a Muslim.
