فَبِمَا   رَحۡمَۃٍ   مِّنَ   اللّٰہِ   لِنۡتَ   لَہُمۡ  ۚ  وَ   لَوۡ کُنۡتَ   فَظًّا   غَلِیۡظَ   ا لۡقَلۡبِ   لَا  نۡفَضُّوۡ ا   مِنۡ   حَوۡ لِکَ ۪

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: So what a great mercy it is from Allah that you (O dear Prophet Muhammad), are lenient towards them; and if you had been stern and hard-hearted (unsympathetic) they would have certainly been uneasy in your company. (Part 4, Surah Aal-e-‘Imran, verse 159)

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Amr رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا has said: I have seen the qualities of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the earlier books; he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is neither narrow-minded nor hard-hearted, nor one who makes a noise in the markets nor one who does evil in response to an evil, but rather he is one who forgives. (Tafseer Ibn Kaseer, vol. 2, pp. 130)

There were many influential and rich people in Taif. Amongst these influential people, the family of ‘Amr were distinguished from all the tribes; they were three brothers ‘Abd-e-Yaaleel, Mas’ood and Habib. Upon reaching the city, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went straight to the houses of these three brothers, he invited them to Islam but they did not embrace Islam, on the contrary, they responded in the most discourteous and vulgar manner. These unfortunate people were not only stubborn but they incited the wicked people to attack the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and as a result they     began to throw stones at the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم from all sides, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was badly wounded, his blessed feet were bleeding and his blessed shoes were filled with blood, due to the unbearable pains of the wounds he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would sit, these cruel and barbaric people would force him to stand by mercilessly and ruthlessly holding his arms and when
