Chapter 3 verse 64
The audience was suddenly brought to an abrupt end. The senators could no
longer contain themselves, they were outraged and Abu Sufyan and his
companions were told to leave the court.
As they left, Abu Sufyan turned to his companions in contempt saying, "The son
of Abi Kabsha has become so prominent that even the Emperor of the
Byzantines is afraid of him!" His reference to the Prophet, praise and veneration
be upon him, as being the son of Abi Kabsha was to mock him. Abi Kabsha and
Halima were his foster parents, his real father was Abdullah.
In another story we learn that one morning during his visit to Jerusalem,
Heraclius awoke feeling very perplexed. It was so noticeable that his clergy could
not help but notice and asked what was the matter. Heraclius, who was an
astrologer and a seer replied, "When I gazed at the stars last night I saw that the
leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared. Who practices
circumcision?" The clergy replied, "No one practices circumcision except the
Jews, and there is no need to fear them. Have every Jew in the country killed!"
