Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Quraysh gathered in Dar al-Nadwah and mentioned the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One of them said: "He is a sorcerer." Others said: "He is not a sorcerer." Someone said: "He is a soothsayer." Others said: "He is not a soothsayer." Someone said: "He is a madman." Others said: "He is not a madman." Then they said: "He separates a friend from his friend." So the polytheists dispersed on that (verdict). This reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) wrapped himself in his clothes and covered himself with a cloak. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed: "O you wrapped in garments!" "O you covered in a cloak!"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one other than Sharik narrated this hadith from Ibn Aqil, and Mu'alla is alone in narrating it."
