Holy Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ disposition towards non-Muslims

Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prays in the favour of disbelievers of Quraish

After the migration of Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Mecca to Madina, a famine hit the disbelievers of Mecca of the like which hit disbelivers at the time of Hazrat Yousaf علیہ السلام for seven years. It did not rain, and all land got parched. This famine compelled Quraish to eat skin of the dead. Owing to hot and dry weather people of Mecca would feel the illusion of smoke upon seeing between earth and sky. Near their death, Abu Sufyan decided to approach Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to pray Almighty Allah for rain. Holy Prophet at once raised his hands to pray Almighty Allah for rain in the larger interests of people of the Mecca (Sahih Bukhari).

It is also narrated that Abu Sufyan promised Holy Prophet to embrace Islam. Then it was revealed upon Holy Prophet that when infliction withdrawn, they will return to their earlier state of disbelief. Holy Prophet prayed for the infliction to be withdrawn and when infliction withdrawn, as revealed, they returned to their earlier state of disbelief. For this they were punished with defeat in Ghuzwa e Badar.
