and thought of trampling his neck (and the people saw) that he came near him but<br />
turned upon his heels and tried to repulse something with his hands. It was said to him:<br />
‘What is the matter with you?’ He said: ‘There is between me and him a ditch of fire<br />
and terror and wings.’ Thereupon <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ said: ❝If he were to come<br />
near me, the angels would have torn him to pieces.❞ Then <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل revealed<br />
this Aayaat:<br />

{Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.). Because<br />
he considers himself self-sufficient. Surely! Unto your Lord is the return. Have you (O<br />
Muḥammad) seen him (i.e. Abu Jahl) who prevents, A slave (Muḥammad) when he<br />
prays? Tell me, if he (Muḥammad) is on the guidance (of <strong>Al</strong>laah)? Or enjoins piety?<br />
Tell me if he (the disbeliever, Abu Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Qur’aan), and turns<br />
away? Knows he not that <strong>Al</strong>laah does see (what he does)? Nay! If he (Abu Jahl)<br />
ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, A lying, sinful forelock! Then, let him<br />
call upon his council (of helpers), We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)!<br />
Nay! (O Muḥammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Abu Jahl). Fall prostrate<br />
and draw near to <strong>Al</strong>laah!} [Surah al-`<strong>Al</strong>aq (96): 6-19] 204<br />
Imaam Aḥmad, al-Bukhaaree in many places in his “Ṣaḥeeḥ”, and Muslim reported<br />
from `Abdullaah Ibn Mas`ood :رضيُاهللُعنه “Once the Prophet ﷺ was offering prayers at<br />
the Ka`bah. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his companions. One of them said to the<br />
others: “Who amongst you will bring the abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a<br />
camel of Banee so-and-so and put it on the back of Muḥammad when he prostrates?”<br />
ﷺ The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet<br />
prostrated and then placed it on his back between his shoulders. I (Ibn Mas`ood) was<br />
watching but could not do anything. I wish I had some people with me to hold out<br />
against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger<br />
was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Faatimah (Prophet’s ﷺ<br />
daughter) came and threw that (camel’s abdominal contents) away from his back. He<br />
