Article 185
Some of the most important political means are exposing the crimes of other states, demonstrating the danger of erroneous politics, exposing harmful conspiracies and undermining misleading personalities.
This Article is part of the styles, and is part of the permitted issues, and the Messenger (pbuh) used to expose the crimes of Bani Quraythah when they broke the treaty on the day of Al-Ahzaab, and when the Quraysh attacked him because ‘Abd Allah (swt) Bin Jahsh (ra) took two men as prisoners and killed another during the sacred month and so they claimed that Muhammad and his companions had made the sacred month permitted (and so violated the custom), and spilt blood, seized wealth and captured men during it. When the Quraysh attacked him with that, Allah (swt) revealed verses which exposed their false politics trying to turn the Muslims away from their religion. He (swt) said: They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah (swt) and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] Al-Masjid Al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefore are a greater [evil] in the sight of Allah (swt). And Fitnah is greater than killing."” (TMQ 2:217).
And when the Jews of Bani Quraythah conspired to kill the Messenger (pbuh) by throwing a rock upon him when he was sitting next to a wall, the Messenger (pbuh) exposed their conspiracy and their being exiled was punishment for it. Ibn Ishaq said:
. إلَى بَنِي النّضِيرِ يَسْتَعِينُ هُمْ فِي دِيَةِ ذَيْنِك الْقَتِيلَيْنِ مِنْ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ « عَقَدَ بَنِي عَامِرٍ اللّذَيْنِ قَ تَلَ عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيّةَ الضّمْرِيّ، لِلْجِوَارِ الّذِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ لَهُمَا، كَمَا حَدّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ، وَكَانَ بَ يْنَ بَنِي ال نّضِير وَبَ يْنَ بَنِي عَامِرٍ عَقْدٌ وَحِلْفٌ. يَسْتَعِينُ هُمْ فِي دِيَةِ ذَيْنِك الْقَتِيلَيْنِ قَالُوا: نَ عَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَ لَمّا أَتَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللّهِ نُعِينُك عَلَى مَا أَحْبَبْت مِمّا اسْتَ عَنْت بِنَا عَلَيْهِ ثُمّ خَلا بَ عْضُهُمْ بِب عْضِ فَ قَالُوا: إنّكُمْ لَنْ إلَى جَنْبِ جِدَارٍ مِنْ ب يُُوتِهِمْ قَاعِدٌ - تَجِدُوا الرّجُلَ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِهِ هَذِهِ -وَرَسُولُ اللّهِ فَمَنْ رَجُلٌ يَ عْلُو عَلَى هَذَا الْبَ يْتِ فَ يُ لْقِي عَلَيْهِ صَخْرَةً فَ يُرِيحُنَا مِنْهُ؟ فَانْ تَدَبَ لِذَلِكَ عَ مْرُو بْنُ جَحّاشِ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، فَ قَالَ: أَنَا لِذَلِكَ، فَصَعِدَ لِيُ لْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ صَخْرَةً كَمَا قَالَ... فَأَتَى الْخَبَ رُ مِنْ السّمَاءِ بِمَا أَرَادَ الْقَوْمُ فَ قَامَ وَخَرَجَ رَاجِعًا إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ... وَأَمَرَ رَسُولَ اللّهِ »بِالتّ هَيُّؤِ لِحَرْبِهِمْ وَالسّيْرِ إلَيْهِمْ... ثم أجلاهم رَسُولُ اللّهِ .
