Musnad Abi Ya'la 1818 — one day the people of Quraysh gathered against

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the people of Quraysh gathered against the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Look for the one among you who knows most about magic, soothsaying and poetry, and let him go to this man who has divided our community, scattered our affairs and found fault with our religion; let him speak to him and see what reply he gives." The people said: "We do not find anyone (for this task) other than Utbah bin Rabi'ah." They said: "O Abu al-Walid, you go." So Utbah came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Muhammad, are you better, or (your father) Abdullah?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. He said again: "Are you better, or Abd al-Muttalib?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) still remained silent. Utbah said: "If you think that they were better than you, then they worshipped the idols that you find fault with; and if you claim that you are better than them, then speak so that we may hear what you say. By Allah, we have never seen a young one more ill-omened for his people than you. You have divided our community, shattered our unity, found fault with our religion and disgraced us among all the Arabs, until word has spread among them that there is a magician in Quraysh and a soothsayer in Quraysh. By Allah, we are only waiting for something like the cry of a woman in labour (some such calamity), when we will fall upon one another with swords until we wipe each other out. O man, if you are in need of wealth, we will gather so much wealth that you become the richest man of Quraysh; and if you desire marriage, tell us which women of Quraysh you like and we will marry you to ten women." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Have you finished what you have to say?" He said: "Yes." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began to recite: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ha Mim. A revelation from the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful", until he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached this verse: "But if they turn away, then say: I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (that struck) Ad and Thamud." Then Utbah (in fear) said: "Enough, enough! Do you have nothing other than this?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." So he went back to Quraysh, and they asked: "What news have you brought?" He said: "I left nothing that I thought you would say to him without saying it to him." They asked: "Did he give you any reply?" He said: "Yes. By the One who raised up the Ka'bah, I understood nothing of what he said, except that he said: 'I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (that struck) Ad and Thamud.'" The people said: "Woe to you! A man speaks to you in Arabic and you do not know what he said?" He said: "No, by Allah, I understood nothing of what he said except the mention of the thunderbolt (punishment)."
