Banu Hashim and Qurayshi Leaders

The disbelievers wanted to kill the Prophet, but the Bani Hashim, the people of his clan, decided to protect him, as allowing this would be an insult to their honour. That is, all of them except Abu Lahab, the Prophet’s uncle! The Qurayshi leaders gathered again to devise a cunning plan.

Despite all of the animosity they directed towards him, the disbelievers still trusted the Prophet and left their valuables with him.
