ذِكْرُ بَعْضِ أَذَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ دَعْوَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ
[Machine] I said, "I have never seen anything that afflicted the Quraysh as much as the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , in terms of the enmity they showed towards him." He replied, "I was there when their nobles gathered in the Hijr and they mentioned the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . They said, 'We have never seen anyone like this man who has tested our patience. He has mocked our dreams, insulted our fathers, criticized our religion, divided our community, and cursed our idols. We have endured great hardships because of him, or so they claim.' As they were talking, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , appeared and started walking until he reached the corner of the Kaaba. He passed by them and they made mocking gestures and whispered some remarks. I could see that on his face. Then he continued and when he passed by them for the second time, they made the same gestures and I noticed it on his face. Peace be upon him. Then he passed by them for the third time and they made the same gestures. Then he said, 'O people of Quraysh, do you hear me? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I have come to you for slaughtering.' His words silenced them, and every one of them looked as if a bird had struck their heads. Even the harshest of them trembled in his presence and answered him with the best of manners. Finally, he said, 'Go on, O Abu al-Qasim, go on with your business. By Allah, you are not ignorant.' So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , continued until the next morning. When they gathered in the Hijr and I was with them, some of them said to others, 'Do you remember what he told us and what we told him about their criticism of their gods and their religion?' He replied, 'Yes, I am the one who said that.' Then I saw one of them grabbing his garment and saying, while Abu Bakr al-Siddiq was standing beside him, crying, 'Do you kill a man just because he says his Lord is Allah?' Then they turned away from him. That was the most severe thing I have ever seen the Quraysh do to him."
قُلْتُ مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا رَأَيْتَ قُرَيْشًا أَصَابَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيمَا كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ مِنْ عَدَاوَتِهِ؟ قَالَ قَدْ حَضَرْتُهُمْ وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ أَشْرَافُهُمْ فِي الْحِجْرِ فَذَكَرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا مَا رَأَيْنَا مِثْلَ مَا صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قَطُّ سَفَّهَ أَحْلَامَنَا وَشَتَمَ آبَاءَنَا وَعَابَ دِينَنَا وَفَرَّقَ جَمَاعَتَنَا وَسَبَّ آلِهَتَنَا لَقَدْ صَبَرْنَا مِنْهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا فَبَيْنَا هُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى اسْتَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ طَائِفًا بِالْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ مَرَّ بِهِمْ غَمَزُوهُ بِبَعْضِ الْقَوْلِ قَالَ وَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ مَضَى ﷺ فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ غَمَزُوهُ بِمِثْلِهَا فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ مَضَى ﷺ فَمَرَّ بِهِمُ الثَّالِثَةَ غَمَزُوهُ بِمِثْلِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَتَسْمَعُونَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِالذَّبْحِ» قَالَ فَأَخَذَتِ الْقَوْمَ كَلِمَتُهُ حَتَّى مَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا لَكَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ طَائِرٌ وَاقِعٌ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَشَدَّهُمْ فِيهِ وَطْأَةً قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ يَتَوَقَّاهُ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا يُجِيبُ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَقُولُ انْصَرِفْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ انْصَرِفْ رَاشِدًا فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كُنْتَ جَهُولًا فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْحِجْرِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ذَكَرْتُمْ مَا بَلَغَ مِنْكُمْ وَمَا بَلَغَكُمْ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَادَأَكُمْ بِمَا تَكْرَهُونَ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ وَبَيْنَا هُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَثَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَثْبَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ وَأَحَاطُوا بِهِ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا لِمَا كَانَ يَبْلُغُهُمْ عَنْهُ مِنْ عَيْبِ آلِهَتِهِمْ وَدِينِهِمْ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ أَنَا الَّذِي أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ» قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ أَخَذَ بِمَجْمَعِ رِدَائِهِ وَقَالَ وَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ دُونَهُ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَنْ يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ؟ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَأَشُدُّ مَا رَأَيْتُ قُرَيْشًا بَلَغَتْ مِنْهُ قَطُّ
