Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Abu Jahl said: If I see Muhammad praying behind the Maqam (of Ibrahim) again, I will attack him. Then he was told: There he is, praying behind the Maqam. So he went towards him, then turned back and said: By al-Lat and al-Uzza, it became dark between me and him because of armies. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Had he moved (forward), the angels would have seized him. Then he recited this verse: "So let him call his associates; We will call the angels of punishment" [Al-Alaq: 18].
