[Machine] I was once in the mosque when Abu Jahl approached me and said, "By Allah, if I see Muhammad in prostration, I will step on his neck." So, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of Abu Jahl's words. He became visibly angry and went towards the mosque. I hurried to follow him. He entered the mosque while reciting, "Read in the name of your Lord who created," until he reached the verse, "No! Indeed, man transgresses because he sees himself self-sufficient." (Surah Al-Alaq, verse 7).

A man said to Abu Jahl, "O Abu Hakam, this is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." Abu Jahl replied, "Don't you see what I see? By Allah, he has blinded the entire sky for me." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached the end of the surah, he prostrated.  

كُنْتُ يَوْمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَلَيَّ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدًا سَاجِدًا أَنْ أَطَأَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ «فَخَرَجْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَخَرَجَ غَضْبَانًا حَتَّى جَاءَ الْمَسْجِدَ» فَعَجَّلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَاقْتَحَمَ الْحَائِطَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَوْمُ شَرٍّ فَاتَّزَرْتُ ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُهُ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ شَأْنَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ {كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَيَطْغَى أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنَى} [العلق 7] قَالَ إِنْسَانٌ لِأَبِي جَهْلٍ يَا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ مَا أَرَى وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَيَّ «فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ آخِرَ السُّورَةِ سَجَدَ»
