Abu Talib gathers Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib
أبو طالب يجمع بني هاشم وبني المطلب
c. 617 CE
Reading the escalating incidents — the deputations, the attempt to trade him for Amara ibn al-Walid, Abu Jahl's stone, Uqba's strangling attempt, Umar's unsheathed sword — Abu Talib sensed danger to his nephew and gathered Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib to stand with him; all answered except Abu Lahab, who sided with the enemy.
