Negotiations with different tribes
Initial negotiations with tribes like Khuzar, Bodeil, and Ta'if were unsuccessful as attempts to reach an agreement with the Quraysh proved challenging. Despite efforts, the unity and commitment of the Muslims under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad SAW showcased their strength and loyalty.
Role of Ammar bin al-Sattab in negotiations
Ammar bin al-Sattab was nominated by the Prophet SAW for negotiations due to his neutral standing. Despite knowing the risks and potential hostility, Ammar accepted the task, emphasizing that negotiation might not be likely. His recommendation of Uthman due to his relations with the Quraysh highlighted strategic considerations for successful negotiations.
Impact of Uthman's negotiation attempt
Uthman's negotiation mission faced obstacles as he was initially stopped and held back. The refusal to allow Uthman to complete his mission highlighted the reluctance of the Quraysh to engage in negotiations, fearing potential loss of power and legitimacy if recognized as a legitimate party by engaging in talks.
The pledge following Uthman's absence
Following Uthman's prolonged absence, rumors spread about his potential demise, creating uncertainty among the Muslims. To address this, the Prophet SAW called for a pledge of loyalty from his followers, solidifying their commitment to avenge Uthman's potential loss and demonstrating unity amidst challenging circumstances.
