[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].  

مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَأَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ وَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُهُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَعَدَ فِيهِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيكَ يَقَعُ فِي آلِهَتِنَا وَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ قَوْمِكَ يَشْكُونَكَ؟ قَالَ يَا عَمِّ أُرِيدُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي الْعَجَمُ إِلَيْهِمْ الْجِزْيَةَ قَالَ مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ فَقَامُوا فَقَالُوا أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا؟ قَالَ وَنَزَلَ {ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ} [ص 1] فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ} [ص 5]  

[Machine] Abu Talib fell ill, so the Quraysh came to visit him and the Prophet ﷺ went to see him. There was a man sitting by his headrest, so Abu Jahl got up and sat in it. They complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Abu Talib, saying, "Your nephew speaks ill of our idols." Abu Talib asked, "What is the matter with your people? Why are they complaining about you, my nephew?" He said, "O uncle, all I wanted from them was one word that would make the Arabs obey them and the foreigners pay tribute to them." Abu Talib asked, "And what is that word?" He replied, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah." They then said, "Shall we make all the idols into one god?" He replied, and the verse of the Qur'an was revealed: "Saw and the Quran, full of mention. Indeed, this is a wonderous thing."  

مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَأَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ وَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُهُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَعَدَ فِيهِ فَشَكَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيكَ يَقَعُ فِي آلِهَتِنَا قَالَ مَا شَأْنُ قَوْمِكَ يَشْكُونَكَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي؟ قَالَ «يَا عَمِّ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِمْ بِهَا الْعَجَمُ الْجِزْيَةَ» فَقَالَ وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» فَقَامُوا فَقَالُوا أَجْعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا؟ قَالَ وَنَزَلَتْ {ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ}  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , returned to Abu Talib with some people from the Quraysh, and there was a man seated by his head. When Abu Jahl saw him, he stood up and sat down. He said, "Your nephew mentions our idols." Abu Talib said, "Why are your people complaining about you?" He said, "Oh uncle, I want them to agree on a statement that the Arabs accept and the non-Arabs pay tribute to." Abu Talib asked, "What is it?" He said, "The testimony that there is no god but Allah." They stood up and said, "Shall we make the gods one god?" He said, "And the Quran with its reminders descended." Until it reached the words, "Indeed, this is a curious thing." (Quran 38:5) The words of the reciter came to an end.  

عَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا طَالِبٍ وَعِنْدَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو جَهْلٍ قَامَ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَخِيكَ يَذْكُرُ آلِهَتَنَا فَقَالَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ مَا شَأْنُ قَوْمِكَ يَشْكُونَكَ؟ قَالَ يَا عَمِّ أُرِيدُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ يَدِينُ لَهُمُ الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِمُ الْعَجَمُ الْجِزْيَةَ قَالَ مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَقَامُوا وَقَالُوا أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا؟ قَالَ وَنَزَلَ {ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ} [ص 1] حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ {إِنَّ هَذَا لِشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ} [ص 5] لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْمُقْرِئُ
