Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Aqil bin Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Quraysh came to Abu Talib and said: “Do you not see Ahmad (ﷺ)? He causes us trouble in our gatherings and mosques, so stop him from causing us such harm.” He (Abu Talib) said to me: “Aqil! Call Muhammad (ﷺ).” I went and brought him. Abu Talib said: “My nephew! Your cousins have complained that you trouble them in their gatherings and mosques, so refrain from doing so.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) glanced towards the sky and said: “Even if you were to bring a flame (i.e., the sun) from the sky for me, I could not refrain from doing so.” Hearing this, Abu Talib said: “My nephew Muhammad (ﷺ) is not a liar. All of you leave from here.”
