Aboo Suufyaan was dejected over the imprudence of his people and came to Madina for a renewal of the truce. He went to the house of his daughter Umm Habibah (wife of the Holy Prophet Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam). But as he went to sit on the Prophet's Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam carpet she folded it up. "My daughter." said he, "I hardly knew if you think that the carpet is too good than me or that I am not good for the carpet." She replied, "It is the Prophet's Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam carpet and you are an unclean polytheist." This reply of the wife of the Holy Prophet (blessings and salutations of Allah on him) speaks eloquently of the great love and the profound respect which his partner of life had for him. Can an imposter command such affection from one who has a free access to the most guarded sectors of his life? It is the sincerity, the deep love, great attachment and the genuine sincerity of the followers with Muhammad (blessings and salutations of Allah on him). 

Aboo Suufyaan turned his steps back to Makkah in a state of bitter disappointment and submitted the report of his meeting with his daughter, the behaviour of Aboo Bakr, Omar and Ali (Allah is pleased with all of them) who did not respond to his so belated truce call, and the meaningful silence of the Holy Prophet Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam The Makkans were dismayed, but did not expect imminent danger.
