However at this gathering, none of those present accepted his invitation. On his way back, the Prophet (prayers of Allah be upon him and his family) reached a place which was referred to as the Valley of the Jinn. He stayed there for the evening and was absorbed in the recitation of the Holy Qur'an. A group of Jinn, who were present and listening to him, immediately accepted the faith of Islam.

After this, they returned to their own group to spread and propagate the teachings which they had accepted.[^2] Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that, “The Prophet (prayers of Allah be upon him and his family) was busy in the recitation of Salat al-Fajr in which he was reading (a Surah) of the Holy Qur'an.

A group of the Jinn who were investigating into why their flow of information which they used to receive from the Heavens had been stopped, happened to hear Muhammad (prayers of Allah be upon him and his family) reciting the Qur'an. They said to each other, 'The reason for the halt in the transmission of information from the Heavens is because of this.' They returned to their group and proceeded to invite them into the religion of Islam.[^3] 3.

After the death of Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), the responsibilities that rested on the shoulders of the Prophet of Allah (prayers of Allah be upon him and his family) became much more difficult and thus he proceeded to go towards the area of the `Arabian Peninsula known as Taif in hopes of finding some helpers.

The noble people of Taif severely belied him and threw so many rocks at the Prophet (prayers of Allah be upon him and his family) that blood was gushing forth from his entire body - even from the blessed feet of the Prophet! Tired and troubled, he stopped near a garden. At that place, he came across a servant of the owner of the garden whose name was `Adas.

This slave accepted the teachings of Islam and after this, the Prophet (prayers of Allah be upon him and his family) continued on his journey back home to Makkah.
