Musnad Abi Ya'la 6207 — (once) Abu Jahl asked: Does Muhammad ﷺ cover
حَدَّثَنَا هُرَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى بْنِ الْفُرَاتِ الْأَسَدِيُّ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ: هَلْ يُعَفِّرُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَبِالَّذِي نَحْلِفُ بِهِ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ ذَاكَ لَأَطَأَنَّ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهُ: هُوَ ذَاكَ يُصَلِّي، فَأَتَاهُ زَعَمَ لِيَطَأَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَمَا فَجِئَهُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَنْكُصُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَيَتَّقِي بِيَدَيْهِ، فَانْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالُوا: مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ لَخَنْدَقًا مِنْ نَارٍ وَأَجْنِحَةً، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ دَنَا مِنِّي لَاخْتَطَفَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عُضْوًا عُضْوًا» ، قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى، عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى} [العلق: 10]، {أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى} [العلق: 13] «يَعْنِي أَبَا جَهْلٍ»، {أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى} [العلق: 14]، إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَاتِ، {فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ} [العلق: 17] «قَوْمَهُ»، {سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ} [العلق: 18] قَالَ: «الْمَلَائِكَةُ»، {كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ} [العلق: 19] «وَأَمَرَهُ بِالَّذِي أَمَرَهُ بِهِ» قَالَ هُرَيْمٌ: قَالَ الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ: هَذَا أَبِي ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَمْ لَا، حِينَ ذَكَرَ {أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى} [العلق: 9]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that (once) Abu Jahl asked: "Does Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) cover his face with dust (that is, pray) among you?" The people answered: "Yes." At that he said: "By that (al-Lat and al-Uzza) by which we swear! If I see him in that state, I will certainly crush his neck." The narrator relates that then he was told that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying there, so he advanced towards him intending to trample his neck, but suddenly the people saw that he was retreating on his heels and shielding himself with his hands (from something). His companions came to him and asked: "O Abu al-Hakam, what is the matter with you?" He replied: "Between me and him there was a trench of fire and wings (angels)." Then the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul! Had he come near me, the angels would have snatched him away limb by limb." The narrator says that then Allah Almighty revealed these verses: "Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays?", "Have you seen if he denies (the truth) and turns away?" (that is, Abu Jahl), "Does he not know that Allah sees?" to the end of the verses, "Then let him call his assembly" (that is, his people), "We will call the guards of Hell (al-Zabaniyah, the angels)." The narrator said: "Al-Zabaniyah means the angels." "No! Do not obey him." And Allah commanded him (peace and blessings be upon him) what He commanded him. Huraym the narrator says that al-Mu'tamir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I do not remember whether my father (Sulayman bin Tarkhan, may Allah have mercy on him), when mentioning the verse "Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays?", attributed it to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) or not.
