Historical Account
However, despite this, all the people stubbornly clung to the view that either way, the Muslims could not enter Makkah that year. Upon the insistence of Ḥaḍrat ‘Uthmānra they said, “If you are exceedingly desirous, then we can give you special permission to circumambulate the Ka‘bah, but no more.” Ḥaḍrat ‘Uthmānra said, “How is this possible, that the Messenger of Allāh is stopped outside of Makkah and I circumambulate the Ka‘bah?” But the Quraish did not accept anything, and eventually disheartened, Ḥaḍrat ‘Uthmānra prepared to return. Upon this instance, the wicked people of Makkah, perhaps with the thought that in this manner they should be able to secure more beneficial conditions for themselves in negotiations, detained Ḥaḍrat ‘Uthmānra and his companions in Makkah. Upon this, rumour spread amongst the Muslims that the people of Makkah had martyred Ḥaḍrat ‘Uthmānra.
