[Machine] He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the east of Thaqif while he was standing on a bow or a stick, seeking victory from them. He said, "So I heard him recite [by saying], 'By the sky and the Tariq'. He continued until he finished it. He said, 'I knew it in the pre-Islamic period while I was a polytheist, then I recited it in Islam.' He said, 'So Thaqif asked me, 'What did you hear from this man?' So I recited it to them." They said, "Who is with them from Quraysh?" We know our companion well. If we knew that he was saying the truth, we would have followed him."  

أَنَّهُ أَبْصَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَشْرِقِ ثَقِيفٍ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى قَوْسٍ أَوْ عَصًا حِينَ أَتَاهُمْ يَبْتَغِي عِنْدَهُمُ النَّصْرَ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا قَالَ فَوَعَيْتُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَأَنَا مُشْرِكٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُهَا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ فَدَعَتْنِي ثَقِيفٌ فَقَالُوا مَاذَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَقَرَأْتُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ مَنْ مَعَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِصَاحِبِنَا لَوْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يَقُولُ حَقًّا لَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the eastern part of Ta'if, standing on a bow or a stick, when he came to seek their support. He said, "So I heard him reciting 'By the sky and the night visitor' until he finished it." He said, "I had heard it during the era of ignorance while I was a polytheist, and then I heard it in Islam. So they said, 'What did you hear from this man?' So I recited it to them. So whoever from the Quraysh was with them said, 'We know our companion best. If we knew that what he is saying is true, we would have followed him.'"
