Ḥamzah's assault on Abū Jahl and his conversion
[ إيقَاعُ حَمْزَةَ بِأَبِي جَهْلٍ وَإِسْلَامُهُ ] فَاحْتَمَلَ حَمْزَةَ الْغَضَبُ لَمَّا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ، فَخَرَجَ يَسْعَى وَلَمْ يَقِفْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، مُعِدًّا لِأَبِي جَهْلٍ إذَا لَقِيَهُ أَنْ يُوقِعَ بِهِ؛ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ نَظَرَ إلَيْهِ جَالِسًا فِي الْقَوْمِ، فَأَقْبَلَ نَحْوَهُ، حَتَّى إذَا قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ رَفَعَ الْقَوْسَ فَضَرَبَهُ بِهَا فَشَجَّهُ شَجَّةً مُنْكَرَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَتَشْتِمُهُ وَأَنَا عَلَى دِينِهِ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ ؟ فَرُدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ إنْ اسْتَطَعْتُ. فَقَامَتْ رِجَالٌ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ إلَى حَمْزَةَ لِيَنْصُرُوا أَبَا جَهْلٍ؛ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ: دَعُوا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ، فَإِنِّي وَاَللَّهِ قَدْ سَبَبْتُ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ سَبًّا قَبِيحًا، وَتَمَّ حَمْزَةُ ؓ عَلَى إسْلَامِهِ، وَعَلَى مَا تَابَعَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ. فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ حَمْزَةُ عَرَفَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ عَزَّ وَامْتَنَعَ، وَأَنَّ حَمْزَةَ سَيَمْنَعُهُ، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا كَانُوا يَنَالُونَ مِنْهُ
Translation
✧ [The assault of Ḥamzah upon Abū Jahl and his Islam] So Ḥamzah was seized by anger, because of what God willed for him of His honor. He went out walking swiftly, not stopping for anyone, prepared, if he met Abū Jahl, to strike him. When he entered the mosque, he saw him sitting among the people, so he came toward him, until when he stood over his head, he raised the bow and struck him with it, inflicting a severe head wound. Then he said: "Do you revile him while I follow his religion and say what he says? Reply to me if you can!" Some men of Banū Makhzūm rose to Ḥamzah to aid Abū Jahl. But Abū Jahl said: "Leave Abū ʿUmārah alone, for by God, I reviled his nephew with a vile insult." And Ḥamzah ؓ remained firm in his Islam and in what he had accepted of the words of the Messenger of God ﷺ. When Ḥamzah embraced Islam, Quraysh knew that the Messenger of God ﷺ had become mighty and protected, and that Ḥamzah would defend him. So they desisted from some of what they had been inflicting upon him.
