Abdullah was considered to be the handsomest youth in Makkah.
The Prophet proposed to live there with his family and he sent Zayd, his adopted son, to Makkah to fetch them.
Musab, who had good reasons to be proud of the result of his mission, returned to Makkah to report progress to Mohammad.
Mohammad and his followers will turn back, and not attempt to enter into Makkah this year, against the will of the Quraish.
Had he remained in Makkah, granting even his final triumph, Islam would have remained there with him.
