Trials & Difficulties Faced for the Propagation of Islam (The Promised Messiah’s (as) Narration)

The Promised Messiah (as) states:

“Once, the enemies found the Holy Prophet (sa) alone and tied a belt around his neck and began tightening it. He was on the brink of death when coincidentally Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) came there and with great difficulty he managed to release him. Upon this, Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) was beaten so severely that he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.”
