[Machine] Abu Talib fell ill, so the Quraysh came to visit him and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to heal him. There was a man sitting by his head, so Abu Jahl stood up and sat in his place. They said, "Your nephew falls into our gods, and what is the matter with your people complaining about you?" He said, "O uncle, I want to propose to them one word that the Arabs can adhere to and the non-Arabs can pay the jizyah (tax) with." They asked, "What is it?" He said, "There is no god but Allah." They stood up and said, "Will he make the gods into one god?" So "S" and "Al-Quran Dhil Dhikr" [Sura 38] was revealed, and he recited until he reached "Indeed, this is something amazing" [Sura 38:5].
مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَأَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ وَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُهُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَعَدَ فِيهِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيكَ يَقَعُ فِي آلِهَتِنَا وَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ قَوْمِكَ يَشْكُونَكَ؟ قَالَ يَا عَمِّ أُرِيدُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي الْعَجَمُ إِلَيْهِمْ الْجِزْيَةَ قَالَ مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ فَقَامُوا فَقَالُوا أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا؟ قَالَ وَنَزَلَ {ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ} [ص 1] فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ} [ص 5]
