حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الضَّبِّيُّ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَشْهَدُ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَشَاهِدَهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَسَمِعَ مَلَكَيْنِ خَلْفَهُ وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ : اذْهَبْ بِنَا حَتَّى نَقُومَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : كَيْفَ نَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ وَإِنَّمَا عَهْدُهُ بِاسْتِلَامِ الْأَصْنَامِ قَبْلُ ؟ قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَعُدْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَشَاهِدَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (before the declaration of prophethood) used to attend the gatherings and assemblies of the polytheists with them. Once he (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the voices of two angels behind him, one of whom was saying to his companion: 'Come with us so that we may stand behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).' The other replied: 'How can we stand behind him (peace and blessings be upon him) when only a little while ago he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the custom of touching the idols?'" The narrator relates: "After this incident the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never again attended the fairs and assemblies of the polytheists with them."
