In which Nabvi year did the Social Boycott of Banu Hashim begin?

Explanation

The Social Boycott (also known as the Meccan Boycott or the Pact of Injustice) was a severe economic and social blockade imposed by the Quraysh against the clan of Banu Hashim. It began in the 7th year of Prophethood and lasted for three years, during which the Muslims and the clan of Banu Hashim were confined to a valley called Shi'b Abi Talib. The boycott ended in the 10th Nabvi year when the written pact was miraculously destroyed by termites, except for the name of Allah.

Good to know

The boycott was a response by the Quraysh to the growing influence of Islam and the failure of their attempts to suppress the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They drew up a pact that forbade any trade, marriage, or social interaction with Banu Hashim, and it was hung on the wall of the Kaaba. The Prophet (PBUH), along with his uncle Abu Talib and the entire clan, endured extreme hardship during this period, surviving on minimal provisions. This event tested the resolve of the early Muslim community and demonstrated their steadfastness in faith.
