In the early days of Islam at Mecca, the new Muslims were often subjected to abuse and persecution.[citation needed]
Overview
Sumayyah bint Khabbab, and her husband Yasir were tortured to death by Abu Jahl.[1][2]
Muhammad was protected somewhat by the influence of his family. Abu Lahab's wife Umm Jamil would regularly dump filth outside his door.[3] An eyewitness mentioned that the worst thing he ever saw the Quraish doing to Muhammad was that a person from Quraish clutched his clothes.[4]
