Abstract :

Some of Islamic scholars believe that Since the Holy Prophet settled in Medina and found supporters and found himself in a position of power; therefore, he had the opportunity to take revenge on Makiyan because of their persecution. Thus, he started to raid on trading caravans of Quraysh and marauding them. The main goal of this paper to is not to critique the news of the reports that originated from this belief, but to focus on the two dimensions of retaliation in the prophetic world and the characteristics of the context and traditions of the Arab community in the critical analysis of this goal. It should be seen what are the grounds for revenge against the enemy and whether these platforms were available during the first months after the emigration? In addition, what challenges did they face in the cultural context of the Arab community? This research shows that the stated goal of the particle is not reasonable and is incompatible with historical data and analysis.
