Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39320 — The harm Quraysh did to the Prophet

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him): I had never seen Quraysh intend to kill the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except on one day, when they were plotting against him (peace and blessings be upon him) while sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying by the Station of Ibrahim. Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt stood up, put his cloak around the neck of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and pulled him (peace and blessings be upon him) until he (peace and blessings be upon him) was falling onto his (peace and blessings be upon him) knees. The people raised an uproar, and they thought he (peace and blessings be upon him) had been killed. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came forward running until he took hold of him (peace and blessings be upon him) under the arms from behind, saying: "Will you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allah?" Then the people moved away from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and prayed. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Quraysh while they were sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people of Quraysh! Listen! By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I have been sent to you only with slaughter." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his (peace and blessings be upon him) hand to his (peace and blessings be upon him) throat. The narrator said: Abu Jahl said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Muhammad! You were not an ignorant man." The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You too are one of them."
