THE STORY OF LADY JURAIRAH
The Koraysh were not content that the Muslims had left Mecca and migrated to
Medina. They, and their allies were determined to rid the country of both them
and the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. They attacked, robbed and
tortured Muslims where and whenever possible.
News reached the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and his Companions
that a richly laden Koraysh caravan was on its return from Syria to Mecca and
would soon be passing near Medina. Because the Koraysh had stolen not only
the wealth but property of the Muslims he ordered that the caravan be raided.
The raid was successful and partial justice had been restored to the
impoverished Muslims.
Needless to say the raid was a thorn in the side of the Koraysh. They were
humiliated and so they called upon their allies, the tribe of Mutalik to assist them
in their attempt to rid themselves once and for all from the Muslims.
