Re: Please Help: Need this book
The Prophet SAW never prosecuted Abdullah ibn Ubay ibn Salool (Chief of the hypocrites, as known by popularity) because he did not want to risk the fragmentation of the muslim society even though the hypocrites left the muslims high and dry one too many times. However he SAW had complete faith in Allah SWT that he would meet his fate according to his deeds and so he did. Doctrine of necessity should not be weighed by its desirable goal but by the consequential outcome of the move. A principle much forgotten and ignored today.
