Muslimcreed - In the early days of the sending of the Prophet Muhammad, he preached Islam in the city of Mecca in secret, for reasons of safety, the Muslims at that time also hid their Islam. Until when the number of Muslims had reached thirty-eight people, Abu Bakr urged the Messenger of Allah to preach Islam openly. Even though the apostle had warned that the number of Muslims was still small, Abu Bakr and other companions continued to urge the Messenger of Allah, so he ordered them to leave the mosque to preach Islam openly.
In the mosque, they are scattered in the corners of the mosque, everyone is in their respective tribes, standing ashes in front of people while preaching. He was the first to preach calling people to Allah swt. When the polytheists heard Abu Bakr r.a reproach their gods and blame their religion, they were angry with Abu Bakr and the Muslims. They beat the Muslims in the corners of the mosque, while Abu Bakr was preaching religion jahr (openly). A group of polytheists surrounded and beat Abu Bakr r.a until he fell to the floor, while his age at that time was approaching 50 years. One of the wicked among them, namely Utbah bin Rabiah, approached the burnt ash and then stepped on the stomach and chest and hit the face of the ash-baked r.a with his two oaks until the skin on the burnt ash face was torn and bleeding so that he fell unconscious.
At that time, the Banu Taim (the tribe of Abu Bakr) came to defend him and tried to dispel the polytheists. They carried the burnt ashes with a piece of cloth, they strongly suspected that he had died. After arriving at his house he was laid down, his father and some of his people sat beside his head. They spoke to him but he could not speak at all. In the afternoon, the burning ash began to wake up and opened his eyes. The first words that appeared on his tongue was how is the condition of the Messenger of Allah? Hearing the question his father got angry and reproached him and left. Then his mother sat at the side of his head to feed and drink, while he repeated the questions. How is the condition of the Messenger of Allah? His mother replied, by Allah, I did not know anything about your friend.
