The Unjust Boycott.

Ibn Ishaq said:
0:26
When the Quraysh saw that the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:31
had settled in a land where they found security and stability,
0:36
and that the Negus had protected those who sought refuge with him,
0:40
and that ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, had embraced Islam,
0:44
and that he, along with Hamza Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, may Allah be pleased with him, were with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and his companions,
0:52
and that Islam began to spread among the tribes,
0:56
they gathered and conspired among themselves to write a document.
1:00
In it, they pledged against the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib,
1:04
that they would neither marry their women nor give their own women in marriage to them,
1:08
and that they would neither sell anything to them nor buy anything from them.
1:13
When they agreed upon this, they wrote it down on a scroll.
1:17
Then they made a covenant and bound themselves to it.
1:21
They then hung the scroll inside the Ka‘bah to reinforce their commitment.
1:27
When the Quraysh did this,
1:29
the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib withdrew to Abu Talib Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib.
1:35
They entered his mountain pass (shi‘b) and gathered around him.
1:39
However, Abu Lahab ‘Abd al-‘Uzza Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib left the Banu Hashim to join the Quraysh and supported them.
1:48
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) recorded in their Sahih collections,
1:51
on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:54
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to us while we were at Mina:
1:59
"We shall encamp tomorrow at Khayf Banu Kinanah,"
2:03
where they had sworn an oath of disbelief.
2:06
This was because the Quraysh and the Banu Kinanah
2:09
had formed an alliance against the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib,
2:13
that they would neither intermarry with them nor trade with them,
2:17
until they handed over the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to them.
2:22
Abu Dawud added in his Sunan,
2:25
Al-Zuhri said:
2:26
"The Khayf is the valley."
2:29
Imam al-Nawawi said:
2:32
The meaning of "sworn an oath of disbelief"
2:34
is that they formed an alliance and a covenant upon it.
2:37
This refers to their alliance to expel the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:42
and the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib from Makkah to that mountain pass,
2:47
which is the Khayf of Banu Kinanah.
2:49
They wrote the famous scroll among themselves,
2:53
and in it, they inscribed various forms of falsehood, severing of kinship ties, and disbelief.

The Annulment of the Scroll and the End of the Boycott.
3:07
Then, some of the men of the Quraysh who were displeased with that scroll
3:10
sought to have it annulled.
3:15
Hisham Ibn ‘Amr Ibn al-Harith stood up,
3:18
and walked to al-Mut‘im Ibn ‘Adi,
3:20
along with a group from the Quraysh,
3:22
and they responded favorably to his request.
3:25
Allah, the Exalted, had informed His Messenger, peace be upon him,
3:30
about the matter of their scroll,
3:32
and that He had sent termites upon it,
3:35
which consumed everything in it that contained injustice, severing of ties, and oppression.
3:40
He informed his uncle, Abu Talib, of this.
3:43
Abu Talib went out to the Quraysh and told them what his nephew, peace be upon him, had said.
3:49
They entered the Ka‘bah and brought down the scroll,
3:53
and it was exactly as the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had described.
3:58
Then the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib returned to Makkah.

4:21
If the longing of the worlds for one another grows long,
4:28
the longing for you, O Messenger of Allah, has no limit.
4:35
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,
4:41
and as long as the lips move in remembrance.
