حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الْقَيْسِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي نُعَيْمُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ : هَلْ يُعَفِّرُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ ؟ ، قَالَ : فَقِيلَ : نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى لَئِنْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ لَأَطَأَنَّ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ ، أَوْ لَأُعَفِّرَنَّ وَجْهَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي زَعَمَ لِيَطَأَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ ، قَالَ : فَمَا فَجِئَهُمْ مِنْهُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَنْكُصُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ ، وَيَتَّقِي بِيَدَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَقِيلَ لَهُ : مَا لَكَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ لَخَنْدَقًا مِنْ نَارٍ وَهَوْلًا وَأَجْنِحَةً ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ دَنَا مِنِّي لَاخْتَطَفَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عُضْوًا عُضْوًا ، قَالَ : فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا نَدْرِي فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَوْ شَيْءٌ بَلَغَهُ كَلَّا إِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ لَيَطْغَى { 6 } أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنَى { 7 } إِنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَى { 8 } أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى { 9 } عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى { 10 } أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى { 11 } أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَى { 12 } أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى { 13 } سورة العلق آية 6-13 يَعْنِي أَبَا جَهْلٍ أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى { 14 } كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ { 15 } نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ { 16 } فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ { 17 } سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ { 18 } كَلَّا لا تُطِعْهُ سورة العلق آية 14-19 زَادَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ، قَالَ : وَأَمَرَهُ بِمَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ ، وَزَادَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ : يَعْنِي قَوْمَهُ .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Abu Jahl asked (people) whether Muhammad placed his face (on the ground) in their presence. It was said to him: Yes. He said: By Lat and Uzza. If I were to see him do that, I would trample his neck, or I would besmear his face with dust. He came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he was engaged in prayer and thought of trampling his neck and the people said that he came near him but turned upon his heels and tried to repulse something with his hands. It was said to him: What is the matter with you? He said: There is between me and him a ditch of fire and terror and wings. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: If he were to come near me the angels would have torn him to pieces. Then Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse- (the narrator) said: We do not whether it is the hadith transmitted to Abu Hurairah (RA) or something conveyed to him from another source: "Nay, man is surely inordinate, because he looks upon himself as self-sufficient. Surely to thy Lord is the return. Hast thou seen him who forbids a servant when he prays? Seest thou if he is on the right way, or enjoins observance of piety? Seest thou if he [Abu Jah]] denies and turns away? Knowest he not that Allah sees? Nay. if he desists not, We will seize him by the forelock-a lying, sinful forelock. Then let him summon his council. We will summon the guards of the Hell. Nay! Obey not thou him" (Icvi. 6-19). (Rather prostrate thyself.) Ubaidullah made this addition: It was after this that (prostration) was enjoined upon and Ibn Abdul Ala made this addition that by Nadia he meant his people.

Hadith Commentary: Vocabulary of the Hadith:

Benefits and Issues:
This hadith expresses the arrangement
that Allah, exalted is He, makes for the protection of His messengers,
so that their enemies cannot harm them. And in the verses, there is a depiction of those capitalists and leaders
who, being deluded by their wealth and riches, adopt arrogance and rebellion,
and turn away from the very One who has given them everything.
Since the front part of the brain, which is called the nāsiyah,
is the very part that devises criminal plans,
and is the center of oppression and excess,
therefore, the mention is made of seizing and dragging by the forelock, and it is described as lying and sinful.
