Who were the chieftains of Quraysh who besieged the Messenger of Allah's house, peace and blessings be upon him, on the night of the Hijra?
On the night of the Hijra, eleven men from the leaders of Quraysh besieged the Prophet’s house, intending to kill him. They were: Abu Jahl, Al-Hakam ibn Abi al-Aas, Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt, Al-Nadr ibn al-Harith, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, Zam'ah ibn al-Aswad, Tu'aymah ibn Adiyy, Abu Lahab, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, Nabih ibn al-Hajjaj, and his brother Munabbih. Despite their well-laid plan, they failed. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) passed by them while reciting: "And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see." He then took a handful of dust and scattered it over their heads, and they fell asleep, while he (peace be upon him) proceeded on his way.
