[Machine] Abu Talib fell ill, so the Quraysh came to visit him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also visited him and sat by his head. There was a seat of a man, so Abu Jahl came and sat in it. Then he said, "Don't you see that your nephew is following our idols?" Abu Talib's son replied, "Why do your people complain about him?" Abu Jahl said, "I want them to have a word by which they honor the Arabs and make the non-Arabs pay the jizyah." Abu Jahl asked, "What is it?" He replied, "There is no deity but Allah." They said, "You want to make the idols one?" Then Surah Saad was revealed, and he recited until he reached, "astonishing."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٣٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَأَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ وَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُهُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَجَاءَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَعَدَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى ابْنِ أَخِيكَ يَقَعُ فِي آلِهَتِنَا؟ قَالَ ابْنَ أَخِي مَا لِقَوْمِكَ يَشْكُونَكَ؟ قَالَ «أُرِيدُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِمُ الْعَجَمُ الْجِزْيَةَ» قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ» فَقَالُوا أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا؟ فَنَزَلَتْ ص فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {عُجَابٌ} [ص 5] [234] 11373 أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ نَحْوَهُ

[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].
