Utba's words had fallen on deaf ears, nothing would stop them. When he learned
that Abu Jahl had accused him of cowardice his pride was sorely challenged, so
he abandoned his attempt and searched for a helmet, however, he was unable to
find one large enough, so he wound a piece of cloth around his head to protect
him -- the final preparations for battle were now under way.
ABDULLAH'S ESCAPE:
Abdullah, the son of Ummaya, was a Muslim, however his father, the chief of the
tribe of Jummah, torturer of Bilal, had brought pressure to bear upon his son that
prevented him from joining the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and his
brothers-in-law Abu Sabrah and Abu Hudhayfah in Medina. Ummaya had forced
his son to join him the march against the Prophet, however, the opportunity to
escape to the Prophet was just about to present itself as his father, and every
other soldier were busy with their preparations for the battle. Unnoticed,
Abdullah managed to slip away and made his way to the Prophet's camp and as
he greeted the Prophet immense joy was evident upon both their faces.
