SHE'B-E-ABI TALIB

Like the market of Abu Sufyan, She'b is also a famous place. Historians have written that forty Arab chiefs gathered in 'Daarun Nadwah' and signed an agreement that no one would keep any contact with the family of Abu Talib. She'b is a mountain pass where the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and other Muslims took shelter to save themselves from economical problems and attrocities. After three years, five men from the disbelievers felt ashamed and this agreement was born.
