Boycott of Banu Hashim Begins
Event
حِصَار شِعْب أَبِي طَالِب
Description
The Quraysh imposed a complete social and economic boycott on the Banu Hashim clan, confining the Prophet Hadrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) ﷺ, his family, and supporters to the Shi'b (valley) of Abu Talib. The boycott lasted approximately three years and included a ban on trade, marriage, and social interaction. The Muslims endured severe hunger and hardship during this period until the pact was miraculously destroyed.
