Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

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

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