The Reaction of the Koraysh
The Koraysh were deeply angered that the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) had
slipped through their fingers. They searched Mecca from beginning to end but there was
no sign of him, nor could anyone throw light upon his whereabouts and set up road
blocks leading in and out of Mecca.
Abu Bakr had left his daughters Ayesha, who was now seven years old, and her elder
sister Asma with his wife Umm Ruman in Mecca. Eventually several members of the
Koraysh, including Abu Jahl, suspected that Abu Bakr might have accompanied the
Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam), so they went to his house to demand his
whereabouts.
Asma answered the door and when Abu Jahl asked her where her father was she swore
by Allah she did not know where he was. Outraged, Abu Jahl struck her with such force
that her earring flew off. Abu Jahl and his companions failed to extract the information
they sought and so they left in the hope that they would be more successful elsewhere.
