ANECDOTE

Hatib's Treachery

  • Hatib ibn Abi Balta, a Muslim with family in Makkah, wrote a letter warning the Quraysh of the Prophet's impending attack.
  • He paid a woman to deliver it secretly, but the Prophet, through divine intervention, learned of the plot and intercepted the letter.
INSIGHT

Hatib's Excuse and the Prophet's Mercy

  • Hatib's excuse for his treachery was his desire to protect his family in Makkah, claiming he knew the Prophet would be safe.
  • Umar demanded Hatib's execution, but the Prophet questioned Umar's certainty about God's judgment on the people of Badr.
ADVICE

The Power of Dua and Effort

  • Make du'a (supplication) to Allah, as the Prophet's prayer for his plans to remain hidden was answered.
  • Exert effort even when expecting divine intervention, as Allah wants to see our efforts before He helps.
