Title:
Abu Bakr Saves Muhammad from Stoning
Caption:
A Persian miniature taken from the Siyer-i Nebi is a Turkish epic about the life of Muhammad, completed around 1388. The Ottoman ruler Murad III commissioned a lavish illustrated copy of the work. The calligrapher Lutfi Abdullah completed the work in 1595. The Prophet Muhammad is always shown veiled. The illustration is captioned: "Feeling against Muhammad among the Meccans grew so strong that one day they attempted to stone him; they spared the Prophet only because Abu Bakr (center), a respected merchant and an illustrious convert to Islam, wept and pleaded with them."
