حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا لَيْثٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ طَاوُسٌ:، ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ فِيهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ اسْتَقْبَلَ زَوَايَاهُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: When Abu Talib fell sick, a group of Quraish entered upon him, among whom was Abu Jahl, and they said:

O Abu Talib, your brother's son insults our gods, and he says such and such, and he does such and such. Send for him and tell him to stop. So Abu Talib sent for him. There was only room for one man to sit near Abu Talib, and Abu Jahl was afraid that if the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon his uncle, he might offer him that spot, so he jumped up and sat in that spot. When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered, he could not find anywhere to sit except a spot by the door, so he sat there. Abu Talib said: O son of my brother, your people are complaining about you and they say that you insult their gods, and you say such and such, and you do such and such. He said: "O uncle, all I want from them is to believe in one word by means of which all the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay them jizyah." They said: What is it? Yes, by your father, we will give you ten (words). He said: “La ilaha illallah.” They got up, dusting off their garments and saying, Has he made the alihah (gods) (all) into One Ilah (God - Allah). Verily, this is a curious thing! (Sad 38.5). Then he recited until he reached the words, "Nay, but they have not tasted (My) Torment!”(Sad 38:5-8).
