[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed, then Abu Jahl came and said, "Did I not forbid you from this?" By Allah, you know that there are more people who listen to it than me. So Allah revealed, "Then let him call his associates; we will call the angels of Hell" [Quran 96:18]. Ibn Abbas said, "By Allah, if he had called his associates, the angels of Hell would have taken him."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٦٢٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ وَهُوَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكَ عَنْ هَذَا؟ وَاللهِ إِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا بِهَا نَادٍ أَكْثَرُ مِنِّي فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ} [العلق 18] قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَاللهِ لَوْ دَعَا نَادِيَهُ لَأَخَذَتْهُ الزَّبَانِيَةُ

“The Prophet was performing Salat when Abu Jahl came to him and said: ‘Have I not forbidden you from this? Have I not forbidden you from this? Have I not forbidden you from this?’ The Prophet turned and scolded him. So Abu Jahl said: ‘You know that no one has more to call for assistance than me.’ So Allah, Blessed is He and Most High, revealed: Then let him call upon his council. We will call out the guards of Hell.” So Ibn Abbas said: “By Allah, if he had called his council, then the guards of Hell would have seized him.”

[Machine] Abu Jahl passed by and said, "Hasn't Muhammad exhausted you?" Then the Prophet ﷺ reproached him. Abu Jahl said to him, "Why are you reproaching me, O Muhammad? By Allah, I know a man who is more eloquent in his calls than me." Then Jibrilﷺ revealed the verse, "So let him call his assembly [of helpers]." [Quran 96:17] Ibn Abbas said, "By Allah, if he had called his assembly, the angels of punishment would have seized him."
