Chapter. The Statement of Allah: “And (remember) when they said, ’O Allah! If this (the Quran) is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then rain down stones on us...’ ” (V.8:32)
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Abu Jahl said, "O Allah! If this (Qur'an) is indeed the Truth from You, then rain down on us a shower of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful torment." So Allah revealed:-- "But Allah would not punish them while you were amongst them, nor He will punish them while they seek (Allah's) forgiveness..." (8.33) And why Allah should not punish them while they turn away (men) from Al- Masjid-al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque of Mecca)..." (8.33-34)
Ibn ‘Uyaynah said that Allah the Exalted has used the word «مطرا» (rain) in the Qur’an only for punishment, and the Arabs call it «غيث». As is in the statement of Allah the Exalted «ينزل الغيث من بعد ما قنطوا».
