Banu Hashim
The Meccan banishment of the Hashemites was a public banishment against the clan of Banu Hashim, declared in 616 (7th year of Prophethood) by the leaders of Banu Makhzum and Banu Abd-Shams, two important clans of Quraysh. According to tradition, the banishment was carried out in order to put pressure on Banu Hashim to withdraw its protection from Muhammad.
