As a result of Fijar war thousands of lives were lost. When the leaders of Makkah saw the effects of the war, they formed a league called Half-al-Fazul with the object of maintaining peace in the region; also for suppressing any violence and injustice and for upholding the rights of the weak, the poor and the destitute.
The alliance was called al-Fuzul after three of the main participants each of whom was called al-Fazal. It is also suggested that this alliance was called al_Fazul because it was made for a noble cause: the name suggests maintaining honour.
The Hashimites under the leadership of Zubair bin Abdul Muttalib along with some other tribes assembled in the house of a noble Quraish, Abdullah bin Judan and pledged to stand on the side of the oppressed, whether stranger or citizen, against the oppressor and to remove injustice from the land.
Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was among those who attended the meeting and was so impressed by its noble objectives that he remained loyal to it. Later on, he said; 'I was present in the house of Abdullah bin Judan at so excellent a pact that I would not exchange my part in it for a herd of red, camels; and if now in Islam. I were summoned unto it, I would gladly respond' (Muhammad: Martin Lings)
