[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What are you doing?" They said, "We are doing well." So Jibril came and said, "Be firm." Then Jibril came and said, "O Muhammad, indeed Allah has given you what you asked for. If you wish, the mountain of Safa will turn into gold for you, and whoever disbelieves after that, I will punish them with a punishment that I will not inflict on anyone in the world. And if you wish, I will open for them the door of repentance and submission." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The door of repentance and mercy is more beloved to me." "This confusion does not weaken the narration of Ath-Thawri, for I do not know Imran ibn Al-Ja'd among the followers, and Ismail ibn Abi Khalid only narrated from Imran ibn Al-Ja'd. As for Imran ibn Al-Ja'd, he is from the followers."

Collected by Aḥmad, Ḥākim

The Quraysh wanted mount Ṣafā to be turned into gold as a miracle by the Prophet ﷺ chose mercy for them

ahmad:2166 – ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Sufyān > Salamah b. Kuhayl > ʿImrān Abū al-Ḥakam > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Quraysh said to the Prophet ﷺ: Call upon your Lord to turn the mount of Ṣafā into gold for us and we will believe in you.” He said, “And you will do so?” They said: Yes. He supplicated and Jibrīl came to him and he said, "Your Lord sends peace upon you and says that if you so wish, I will turn the mount of Ṣafā into gold for them, but whoever among them disbelieves after that will be punished with a great punishment like no one else in the worlds; but if you so wish, the door of repentance and Mercy will be opened for them." He said, “Rather, ˹I chose˺ the door of repentance and Mercy.”

[Machine] Translation: "Quraysh people said to the Prophet ﷺ , 'Call upon your Lord to make Safa a gold for us, and we will believe in you.' The Prophet replied, 'Will you really do that?' They said, 'Yes.' So he supplicated, and then Gabriel came to him and said, 'Verily, Allah sends His greetings upon you and says, "If you wish, I can make Safa turn into gold, but whoever disbelieves after that, I will punish him with a punishment that I do not inflict upon anyone in the worlds. And if you wish, I can open for them the doors of repentance and mercy."' The Prophet said, 'Rather, it is the door of repentance and mercy.'"
