Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 13872

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Some of the chiefs of Quraysh gathered in the Hijr (Hatim), and they swore by al-Lat, al-Uzza, Manat, Isaf and Na'ilah and agreed: "If we see Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), we will rise and go to him as people go towards someone together, and we will not leave him until we have killed him." The daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), came weeping to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "These men of Quraysh have agreed against you that if they see you, they will rise, come to you and kill you, so that every one of them has a share in your killing." The narrator said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O my daughter, bring me water for ablution." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and came to those people in the mosque. When they saw him, they said: "Here he is," and they lowered their gazes; their chins dropped onto their chests, and they remained sitting with their heads bowed. They did not raise their eyes to look at the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and not one of them rose and came towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came forward until he stood over their heads. He took a handful of dust and said: "May these faces be disgraced," and then he threw the pebbles at them. Those pebbles struck every one of them, and whoever they struck was killed as a disbeliever on the day of the Battle of Badr.
Imam Ahmad recorded it with two chains, the narrators of one of which are the narrators of the Sahih. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: hadiths of this kind have already passed in the Book of Military Expeditions, concerning the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) conveying of the message and his patience in that regard.
