aised his head and said thrice: ❝O <strong>Al</strong>laah! Punish Quraish.❞ It was hard for Abu ﷺ<br />
Jahl and his companions when the Prophet ﷺ invoked <strong>Al</strong>laah against them as they<br />
had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were accepted in this city (Makkah).<br />
The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝O <strong>Al</strong>laah! Punish Abu Jahl, `Utbah Ibn Rabee`ah, Shaibah Ibn<br />
Rabee`ah, al-Waleed Ibn `Utbah, Umaiyah Ibn Khalaf, `Uqbah Ibn (Abee) al-Mua`it,<br />
`Umaarah Ibn al-Waleed.❞ By <strong>Al</strong>laah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies<br />
of those persons who were counted by <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ in the Qaleeb (one of<br />
the wells) of Badr.” 205<br />

the Prophet ﷺ was praying in al- Ḥijr of the Ka`bah; `Uqbah Ibn Abee Mua`it came<br />
and put his garment around the Prophet’s neck and throttled him violently. Abu Bakr<br />
came and caught him by his shoulder and pushed him away from the Prophet ﷺ and<br />
said:<br />

{Would you kill a man because he says: ‘My Lord is <strong>Al</strong>laah’, and he has come to you<br />
with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord?} [Surah Ghaafir (40): 28]” 206<br />
`Urwah Ibn al-Zubair asked `Abdullaah Ibn `Amr Ibn al-`Aaṣ رضي ُا هلل ُعنهما . “What is the<br />

the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah?” He replied: “I was present when their prominent figures met<br />
together one day in al-Ḥijr. They talked about the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ and they<br />
said: ‘We have never put up with anything like that with which we are putting up with<br />
from this man. He has ridiculed our values, reviled our forefathers, criticized our<br />
religion, divided us and insulted our gods, and the matter has become very serious’, –<br />
or they said words to this effect. While they were like that, the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
