[Machine] Then Abu Talib sent (a message) to him, and the place of Abu Talib was at the position of a man. He feared that if the Prophet ﷺ entered upon his uncle, he would be humbled for him. So, he jumped up and sat in that gathering. When the Prophet ﷺ entered, he did not find any gathering except at the door, so he sat. Then Abu Talib said, "O son of my brother, indeed your people complain about you, they claim that you insult their gods and say and do such and such." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O uncle, I only want them to declare that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and by this statement, the Arabs will be united, and the non-Arabs will pay the jizyah to them." They said, "And what is it?" He said, "Yes, and your father will get ten." He said, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah." They stood up while shaking their clothes and saying, "Will he make the gods one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing." [Quran 38:5] He said, "Then he recited until he reached, 'When they taste the punishment...'" [Quran 38:8]  

أحمد:٣٤١٩حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْأَعْمَشَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَهْطٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْهُمْ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ ابْنُ أَخِيكَ يَشْتِمُ آلِهَتَنَا يَقُولُ وَيَقُولُ وَيَفْعَلُ وَيَفْعَلُ فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَيْهِ فَانْهَهُ قَالَ

فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو طَالِبٍ وَكَانَ قُرْبَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مَوْضِعُ رَجُلٍ فَخَشِيَ إِنْ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى عَمِّهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَرَقَّ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَثَبَ فَجَلَسَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَجْلِسًا إِلَّا عِنْدَ الْبَابِ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَشْكُونَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكَ تَشْتُمُ آلِهَتَهُمْ وَتَقُولُ وَتَقُولُ وَتَفْعَلُ وَتَفْعَلُ فَقَالَ يَا عَمِّ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا أُرِيدُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِمْ بِهَا الْعَجَمُ الْجِزْيَةَ قَالُوا وَمَا هِيَ؟ نَعَمْ وَأَبِيكَ عَشْرًا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ فَقَامُوا وَهُمْيَنْفُضُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ {أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ} [ص 5] قَالَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لَمَّا يَذُوقُوا عَذَابِ} [ص 8]

[Machine] Abu Talib fell ill, so the Quraysh came. Then the Prophet (pbuh) came, and there was a man sitting at the head of Abu Talib. Abu Jahal stood up in order to prevent him from being near Abu Talib and complained to him. He said, "O cousin, what do you want from your people?" He said, "O uncle, I only want from them a word that the Arabs will be humiliated by, and by which they will pay tribute to the non-Arabs." He said, "One word?" He said, "One word." He said, "What is it?" He said, "There is no god but Allah." He said, "Will you make the gods one god? This is something strange!" So Allah revealed regarding them: "Saad. By the Quran of remembrance. But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the disbelievers say, 'This is a strange thing.'" (Quran 38:1-7)

[Machine] Abu Talib fell ill, so the Quraysh came to visit him and the Prophet ﷺ went to see him. There was a man sitting by his headrest, so Abu Jahl got up and sat in it. They complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Abu Talib, saying, "Your nephew speaks ill of our idols." Abu Talib asked, "What is the matter with your people? Why are they complaining about you, my nephew?" He said, "O uncle, all I wanted from them was one word that would make the Arabs obey them and the foreigners pay tribute to them." Abu Talib asked, "And what is that word?" He replied, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah." They then said, "Shall we make all the idols into one god?" He replied, and the verse of the Qur'an was revealed: "Saw and the Quran, full of mention. Indeed, this is a wonderous thing."
