Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 21229 — I saw (in a dream) a rider who came

Sayyidah Atikah bint Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I saw (in a dream) a rider who came and stood upon the mountain of Abu Qubays and called out: O family of the treacherous! O family of the wicked! March out within three days. Then he took a rock from Abu Qubays and hurled it at the basin, and the rock shattered into pieces, and there was not a single house among the houses of Quraysh but a fragment of it entered it, except the houses of Banu Zuhrah. Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is a dream; conceal it and do not mention it to anyone." Then Abbas went and met al-Walid bin Utbah bin Rabi'ah and told him the dream, and al-Walid told his father, and the matter spread. Abbas said: In the morning I went out to perform tawaf of the House of Allah, and Abu Jahl was with some people of Quraysh talking about Atikah's dream. When Abu Jahl saw me, he said: O Abu al-Fadl! When you have finished your tawaf, come over to us. When I had finished, I came to them and sat with them, and Abu Jahl said: O sons of Abd al-Muttalib! Were you not content that your men should claim prophethood, until now your women too have begun to claim prophethood? Atikah has claimed in this dream of hers that the one who came in the dream said: March out within three days. So we will wait out these three days; if what you say turns out true, well and good; otherwise, if the three days pass and nothing happens, we will write against you that you are the most lying household among the Arabs. Abbas said: "By Allah! I did nothing in reply to him except deny it, and I said that she had not seen anything." Abbas said: When evening came, a woman from among the daughters of Abd al-Muttalib came to me and said: Have you become content with this wicked man, that he should speak ill of your men and then speak ill of your women too, while you listen and raise no objection to it? By Allah! If Hamzah had been there, he would never have said what he said. So I said: "By Allah! He has indeed done so, and I raised no objection against him; but by Allah, I will surely confront him, and if he does it again, I will answer him on your behalf." Abbas said: Then on the third day after Atikah's dream I went out in a state of anger, because an opportunity I had wished to seize had slipped from me. He said: By Allah! I was walking towards him, and he was a nimble man, sharp of face, sharp of tongue and sharp of sight, when suddenly he came out running towards the door of the Masjid. I said to myself: What is the matter with him, may Allah curse him? Is all this out of fear that I will revile him? Then it turned out that he had heard a voice I had not heard: he had heard the voice of Damdam bin Zur'ah bin Amr al-Ghifari crying out in the middle of the valley. He had cut his camel's nose, turned his saddle around and torn his shirt, and he was saying: O people of Quraysh! Muhammad has set out with his companions; I do not think you will reach it. Help! Help! Abbas said: "Then the events that came about kept me occupied from him and him from me."
