A group of Quraish gathered in the Hijr and swore an oath by al-Lat and al-‘Uzza, and by Manat the third one, and Na'ilah and Isaf, (saying): If we see Muhammad, we will go to him as one man, and will not leave him until we kill him. Then his daughter Fatimah (رضي الله عنها) came weeping, and entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: These people of Quraish have sworn an oath against you, that if they see you, they will come to you as one man and kill you, and there is no one among them who will not have a share in your killing. He said: “O my daughter, bring me water for wudoo’." Then he did wudoo' and entered upon them in the mosque, and when they saw him they said: Here he is. Then they lowered their gaze, i.e., fell asleep, and their chins sunk onto their chests. They stayed where they were and did not look up at him, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and stood over them. He took a handful of dust and said, "May these faces be made ugly!", Then he threw it at them and no one was hit by that dust but he was among those who were slain as kafirs on the day of Badr.
