When the Quraish realised that gradually, all the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) had migrated to Madinah Munawwarah, and the departure of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was also imminent, then a number of the chieftains of the Quraish convened in Daar-un-Nadwah to discuss this ‘predicament’.

Among the chieftains of the Quraish who gathered in Daar-un-Nadwah were: Utbah bin Rabee’ah, Shaibah bin Rabee’ah, Abu Sufyaan bin Harb, Tu’aimah bin Adi, Jubair bin Mut’im, Haarith bin Aamir, Nadhr bin Haarith, Abul Bakhtari bin Hishaam, Zam’ah bin Aswad, Hakeem bin Hizaam, Abu Jahal bin Hishaam, Nabeeh and Munabbih – the two sons of Hajjaaj, Umayyah bin Khalaf, etc.
