“By God, you have deceived yourself, O Umar! Do you think that Banu Abd Manaf would let you run around alive once you had killed their son Muhammad? Why don’t you return to your own house and at least set it straight?”

When he decided to migrate, he put on his sword, put his bow over his shoulder, picked up his arrows, and carried his stick. He went out to the Kaaba, where a number of Quraish were gathered in its courtyard, and circumambulated the House seven times, at a leisurely pace. Then he went to the Maqam [Place or the stone on which Ibrahim (A.S.) stood while he was building the Kaaba] and prayed tranquilly. Then he went to the circles of people, one by one, and said to them, ‘May your faces become ugly! Allah will only rub these noses in the dust. Whoever wants his mother to be bereft of him and his children to become orphans and his wife to become a widow, let him meet me behind this valley.’ Ali said, ‘No one followed him except a few of those who were weak and oppressed. He taught them and told them about Islam, then he went on his way.”
