I will put an arrow through him!" The Koraysh knew Kinanah was in earnest and
withdrew. Shortly afterwards, Abu Sufyan arrived with several other Koraysh chieftains
and asked him to disarm his bow so that they might talk things over, and Kinanah
agreed.
Abu Sufyan rebuked Kinanah for taking Lady Zaynab out of Mecca in broad daylight for
all to see and asked why he had done such a thing. "Didn't he know their predicament
and might it not be taken as a further sign of humiliation and weakness on their part?" he
asked him. Abu Sufyan told him they did not want to keep her, however she must return
until things died down and then leave discreetly to join her father.
And so, Lady Zaynab and Kinanah returned to Mecca and waited until the time was
right, then set off once again on their journey to Yajaj where arrangements had once
more been made for Zayd and his companion to accompany the holy family on to
Medina.
