Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Al-Aas that I never saw the Quraysh intending anything against the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except one day when they were plotting against him and were sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing prayer at the Maqam Ibrahim. Then Uqbah bin Abi Mu'it stood up and put his sheet around the neck of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and pulled him until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to fall on his knees. The people raised a commotion, and people thought that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had been killed. Hazrat Abu Bakr advanced forcefully until he grabbed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from behind his armpits and began to say: { أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلاً أَنْ یَقُولَ رَبِّی اللَّہُ } Then the people moved away from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and performed the prayer. When he had finished the prayer, he passed by the Quraysh while they were sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O group of Quraysh! Beware! By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I have not been sent to you except with slaughter. And he pointed to his throat with his hand. The narrator says: Abu Jahl said to him: O Muhammad! You were not ignorant. The narrator says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are also among them.
