They sent a group of men to Muhammad ﷺ with a suggestion as to how each side in the dispute could be made happy. “We wish to place before you something which will set the matter right for you,” they proudly announced to the Prophet ﷺ .
“What’s that?” The Prophet ﷺ asked.
“You worship our gods for one year,” they explained, “and
we worship your God for one year. That way, if our religion is true, you will have a share of the reward, and if your religion is true, we will have a share”

In reply to this suggestion from the Quraysh, Surah AlKafiroon (The Unbelievers) was revelaed: “Say: O you who reject faith. I do not worship that which you worship. And you do not worship that which I worship. And I will never worship that which you worship. Nor will you ever worship that which I worship. To you be your religion, and to me be mine.” (109: 1-6). Allah also revealed two additonal verses stressing the
monotheistic purity of Islam:
*”Say: Is it someone other than Allah that you order me to worship, O ignorant ones?” (39: 64)”*

The next verse was also revealed in connection with the
Quraysh’s suggestion, and further drives home the point: “Say: I have forbidden to worship those whom you pray to.” (6: 56)
The Makkans, however, still believed that they could bargain
with the Prophet ﷺ. “Bring another Qur’an in place of this one,” they haggled. “Or make some changes in the present one.”
In response to this request, Allah told the Prophet ﷺ: “And
when my clear evidences are recited to them, those who do not look forward to meeting Me, say, ‘Bring another Qur’an or change this one.’

Say to them: It is not for me to change it of my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. And I fear that if I disobey my Lord, I will meet with a terrible punishment on the Day of Judgment.” *(10: 15)*
Other verses were also revealed which made it clear that the Prophet’s ﷺ role was not to bargain with the pagans, but to convey the message just as it was revealed to him: They were about to tempt you away from that which I revealed to you, hoping to fabricate something in My name.

They would certainly have made you their friend. And if I had not strengthened you, you would have inclined to them a little. And if you had done so, I would have made you taste a double portion of punishment in this life and a double portion after death, and you would not have found anyone to help you against Me.” *(17: 73-75)*
Once the Makkans understood that the Prophetﷺ was
sincere in his beliefs and was not prepared to compromise, they were determined to find out whether he was an actual prophet or just imagined himself to be one.

*Let’s continue on a brief commentary on this verse*👇🏻. *9:40 At-Tawba*
إِلَّا تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا ۖ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلَىٰ ۗ وَكَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
If you help him (Muhammad SAW) not (it does not matter), for Allah did indeed help him when the disbelievers drove him out, the second of two, when they (Muhammad SAW and Abu Bakr) were in the cave, and he (SAW) said to his companion (Abu Bakr): "Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us." Then Allah sent down His Sakinah (calmness, tranquillity, peace, etc.) upon him, and strengthened him with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowermost, while it was the Word of Allah that became the uppermost, and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

5:67 Al-Maaida
۞ يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
O Messenger (Muhammad SAW)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allah guides not the people who disbelieve.

The Quraysh test the Muslim’s resolve. In spite of all the precautions the Prophet ﷺ took to ensure
that Madinah remained safe and peaceful, the Quraysh
determined to destabilise the city. The Quraysh sent word to the polytheists of Madinah, ordering them to help drive out the Muslims. If the polytheists refused to help, the Quraysh threatened to kill their children and capture their women.
___*PAGE 9*___.

The Prophet ﷺ found out about the threats and convinced the polytheists not to give in to the strong-arm tactics of the Quraysh.
The Quraysh seethed at the turn of events. Their frustration
was apparent when Sa’d bin Mu’adh went to Makkah to perform Umrah, the minor pilgrimage. As he circumambulated the Ka’bah, with Abu Safwan Umayya bin Khalaf, he met Abu Jahl. Abu Jahl recognised him as one of the residents of Madinah who had become Muslim and accosted Sa’d.

“So you find safety in Makkah while you have provided refuge to the faithless. By God, if you were not with Abu Safwan, you would not return home safe and sound”. Abu Jahl’s threat indicated that the Quraysh were intent on keeping Muslims from visiting the Ka’bah and performing their religious duties there. It also indicated that they were prepared to kill unarmed Muslims. The Jews of Madinah also represented a threat to the Muslims. They played on the old rivalry between the two tribes of Madinah, the Aus and Khazraj, hoping to rekindle the bitter feud that had once rent them.
