The recitation of al-Najm and the sajdah of the mushrikun (قصّة الغرانيق)
[AI] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited al-Najm, and when he reached, "Have you considered al-Lat and al-Uzza" "and Manat, the third, the other," Satan cast onto his tongue: Those are the exalted gharaiq (cranes), and their intercession is surely hoped for. When he prostrated, the Muslims and the polytheists prostrated, so Allah ﷻ revealed, "And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet except that, when he recited, Satan cast," up to His saying, "the punishment of a barren day"; the Day of Badr.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ النَّجْمَ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ﴿أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى﴾ ﴿وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَى﴾، أَلْقَى الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى لِسَانِهِ: تِلْكَ الْغَرَانِيقُ الْعُلَى، وَشَفَاعَتُهُنْ لَتُرْتَجَى. فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ، سَجَدَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ ﴿وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولٍ وَلَا نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا إِذَا تَمَنَّى أَلْقَى الشَّيْطَانُ﴾، إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ﴿عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَقِيمٍ﴾؛ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ.
