Chapter: The Plot of the Polytheists against the Messenger of Allah and Allah's Protection of His Messenger
Abu al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl al-Qattaan in Baghdad informed us that Abdullah ibn Ja'far told us that Ya'qub ibn Sufyan narrated to us that Amr ibn Khalid reported from Ibn Lahiy'ah, from Abu al-Aswad, from Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, saying: "The Messenger of Allah stayed after Hajj until the end of Dhu al-Hijjah, Muharram, and Safar. Then, the polytheists of Quraysh gathered to conspire against him; they planned to either kill, imprison, expel, or subdue the Messenger of Allah. Then Allah informed him of their plot saying: 'And [remember, O Muhammad], when those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill you or evict you. But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.'
So the Messenger of Allah and Abu Bakr set out under the cover of night towards the cave, atop a mount. Then Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, lay down on the bed of the Messenger of Allah to shield him from the eyes."

Life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) - The Plot to Kill Him
It was narrated that Isma'il ibn Abi Uwais told us that Isma'il ibn Ibrahim ibn 'Uqba narrated from his uncle Musa ibn 'Uqba that after the pilgrimage, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stayed in Mecca through the end of Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Safar. The polytheists of Quraysh plotted to kill or expel him, believing that he had left. However, Allah provided protection for him and his companions, and those who embraced Islam informed him of the Quraysh's plan.
On the day Abu Bakr came to him, they intended to attack the Prophet (PBUH) while he slept. Consequently, the Prophet and Abu Bakr left in the middle of the night towards the cave of Thawr. Inside the cave, Ali ibn Abi Talib lay down on the Prophet's bed, assuming his position to protect him. Meanwhile, Quraysh debated amongst themselves outside, trying to decide who would strike the Prophet. They continued their discussion until morning, when they found Ali instead of the Prophet. Realizing he had fled, they set out in pursuit.
It was reported by Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz that Muhammad ibn Ya'qub informed them that Ahmad ibn Abdullah al-Jabbar narrated from Yunus ibn Bukayr, from...

Translation of Classical Arabic Text
Event Leading to the Migration to Medina
Ibn Ishaq said: "When the Quraysh realized that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had been accepted as a leader and instructed his companions in Mecca to go and join their brethren in Medina, they conspired among themselves. They gathered and discussed what to do about Muhammad, agreeing to either support him, kill him, or expel him. They convened at the meeting place to carry out their plan. However, when they entered the house, Satan appeared to them in the form of a handsome man in a cloak and hood. He asked to be allowed in, claiming to be a man from Najd who had heard about their gathering and wanted to be part of it to provide counsel. The Quraysh agreed and allowed him inside.
Discussion Among the Quraysh
Once inside, the man suggested that they should all unite in their decision regarding the Prophet Muhammad, as others had already done so. Among those present were Shaybah and Utbah ibn Rabi'ah, Abu Jahl ibn Hisham, and Nadhr ibn al-Harith. One of them proposed keeping Muhammad under house arrest and waiting until he perished, drawing a parallel with poets like Zuhayr ibn Abi Sulma and al-Nabigha who had met similar fates. The man from Najd objected strongly to this suggestion, warning them that if they banished Muhammad, and he gained support, they would regret their decision. Another member, however, proposed exiling him from their lands, arguing that once Muhammad was gone, they would not care about where he ended up, confident that they could reconcile among themselves afterward.
Opposition to the Exile Plan
The man from Najd fiercely opposed this plan, emphasizing the eloquence of Muhammad's speech, the beauty of his words, and his influence over those he encountered. He warned that exiling him would only solidify his standing among other tribes. He urged them to reconsider their decision, highlighting the risks of alienating a man who possessed such charisma and leadership.
In the description of the cloak mentioned in the text, it refers to a specific type of cloak known as "Al-Kisa" (الْكِسَاءُ) that was square and thick. It was also identified as "At-Tilisan" (الطيلسان) from khaz. In the book "Tahdhib al-Lughah," it elaborates on the definition of "Al-Bat" (الْبَتُّ) as a squared, thick, green cloak. The plural forms mentioned are "Abat," "Batat," and "Batut." In "Al-Sahah" by Al-Jawhari, "Al-Bati" refers to the one who manufactures it, exemplified by "Uthman ibn Suleiman Al-Bati" who used to sell "Batut."

Abu Jahl's Plan
The Arabs applauded Abu Jahl's proposal to the assembled Quraysh leaders, who then marched with him until they reached you, so that he could carry it out with their help. They questioned Abu Jahl, expressing doubt about his plan, to which he confidently responded with a strategic approach.
Abu Jahl's Strategy
Abu Jahl suggested selecting a young boy from each subtribe of Quraysh, raising him harshly, then providing them with sharp swords. They were to collectively strike the chosen boy with a single forceful blow to kill him. The purpose was to instigate a conflict among Quraysh tribes, ensuring they never come together again in unity.
Ibn Hisham's Commentary
Later, when Ibn Hisham commented on this plan, he warned against its consequences and advised to withhold the plan's execution. Ibn Hisham emphasized the importance of using wisdom to navigate such delicate matters to avoid bloodshed.

Story of the Quraysh Conspiring Against the Prophet
Abdullah ibn Abbas narrated: A group of the Quraysh nobles gathered and conspired against the Prophet Muhammad. Jibril visited the Prophet, warning him of the people's plans, so the Prophet did not stay in his usual sleeping place that night. Allah then allowed him to leave, and revealed verses in al-Anfal mentioning His blessings and trials upon the Prophet.
Interpretation of "والله خير الماكرين"
Al-Qurtubi explained that Allah's "مكر" is His punishment for the disbelievers' deceit, which they do not perceive. Al-Zamakhshari added that Allah's "مكر" surpasses others' in effectiveness, as it is always just and precise. The scholars warn against seeking to deceive Allah, as He can deceive His enemies without them realizing.
Meaning of "مكر الله" and Linguistic Analysis
Al-Raghib stated that Allah's "مكر" includes giving His servant time and granting worldly aims. Al-Askari noted the distinction between "كيد" and "مكر," with the latter being subtler in deception. Some scholars differentiate between praiseworthy and blameworthy deception, emphasizing that Allah's deception is for His enemies, not His allies.

Interpretation of Quranic Chapter Yasin
When the disbelievers plotted against the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and sought to harm him, the Angel Gabriel appeared to him and instructed him not to spend the night in his usual dwelling. Instead, the Prophet called upon Ali ibn Abi Talib to sleep in his place and gave him the command to rest on his bed and cover himself with a blanket. Following this, the Prophet went out to confront the disbelievers gathered by his door, holding a handful of dirt which he scattered over their heads. As he recited verses from Chapter Yasin, including the line "And We have put coverings upon their hearts lest they understand it" (Yasin 36:9-10), Allah prevented the disbelievers from seeing their Prophet.
Significance of Reciting Chapter Yasin
It is narrated that the recitation of the first verses of Chapter Yasin serves as a remembrance that those who are in distress should follow the example of Prophet Muhammad. According to a narration in the Hadith of Harith ibn Abi Usama, reciting Yasin brings benefits such as safety when in fear, nourishment when hungry, cover when exposed, and quenching of thirst when thirsty, among other blessings.
