behalf of another man." Abu Bakr replied, "I release you from your agreement to protect
me and am content with the protection of Allah."
In a similar narration, the son of Is‟haq relates that after one or two days since Abu Bakr
left Mecca with the intention of migrating (to Abyssina) he met Ad-Dughannah's son who
was the chief of the tribe of Ahabesh. Ad-Dughannah's son asked Abu Bakr where he
was going and he replied, “My people have caused me to leave, they harassed and
made things difficult.” Ad-Dughannah's son, asked, “Why did they do that, by Allah, you
are the most honored among your family, you assist in every good cause, you always do
good deeds and you give people when in need.” Return (to Mecca) I will give you my
protection.” Abu Bakr accepted and he returned with Ad-Dughannah's son. As they
entered Mecca, Ad-Dughannah's son stood beside Abu Bakr and announced, “O
Koraysh, I have taken the son of Abu Quhafa into my protection, therefore everyone
should treat him well.” Having heard the announcement the people stopped harassing
Abu Bakr.
The concluding part of this narration states that Ad-Dughannah's son said, “O Abu Bakr,
I did not grant you my protection so that you may annoy your people. They dislike the
place (where he prayed) you have adopted (in your courtyard) and it annoys them. Go
me and am content with the protection of Allah."
