[Machine] Abu Jahl said, "Does Muhammad forgive the face of his amongst the polytheists?" It was said, "Yes." He said, "By Lat and al-'Uzza, if I were to see him like that, I would trample his neck or I would even extinguish his face in the dirt." So, he came to the Messenger of Allah while he was praying and claimed that he wanted to trample his neck. He said, "But they did not find him except retreating on his heels and protecting himself with his hands." It was said, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "Indeed, there is a trench of fire and horror between me and him, and wings." So, the Messenger of Allah said, "If he had come near me, the angels would have seized him limb by limb."  

قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ هَلْ يُعَفِّرُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ؟ فَقِيلَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ وَاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى لَئِنْ رَأَيْتُهُ كَذَلِكَ لَأَطَأَنَّ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ أَوْ لَأُعَفِّرَنَّ وَجْهَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي زَعَمَ لِيَطَأَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ قَالَ فَمَا فَجَأَهُمْ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَنْكُصُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَيَتَّقِي بِيَدِهِ فَقِيلَ مَا لَكَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ لَخَنْدَقًا مِنْ نَارٍ وَهَوْلًا وَأَجْنِحَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ دَنَا مِنِّي لَاخْتَطَفَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عُضْوًا عُضْوًا»
