The Messenger of Allah was praying at the Maqam (prayer station of Ibrahim) when Abu Jahl bin Hisham passed by him and said, `O Muhammad! Havent I prevented you from this He threatened the Prophet and thus, the Messenger of Allah became angry with him and reprimanded him. Then he said, `O Muhammad! What can you threaten me with By Allah, I have the most kinsmen of this valley with me in the large. So Allah revealed Then let him call upon his council. We will call out the guards of Hell! (96:17-18) Ibn Jarir recorded from Abu Hurayrah that Abu Jahl said, Does Muhammad cover his face with dust (i.e., from prostration) while he is among you all They (the people) replied, Yes. Then he said, By Al-Lat and Al-`Uzza, if I see him praying like this, I will stomp on his neck, and I will certainly put his face in the dust. So the Messenger of Allah came and he began praying, which made it possible for Abu Jahl to stomp on his neck. Then the people became surprised at him (Abu Jahl) because he began retreating on his heels and covering himself with his hands. Then it was said to him, Whats the matter with you He replied, Verily, between me and him is a ditch of fire, monsters and wings. Then the Messenger of Allah said, f he had come near me, the angels would have snatched him limb by limb.
