The account of the leaders of Quraysh with the Messenger ﷺ
[ حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - ﷺ ] فَلَمَّا قَالُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ عَنْهُمْ، وَقَامَ مَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّتِهِ، فَهُوَ لِعَاتِكَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ - فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ. عَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ قَوْمُكَ مَا عَرَضُوا فَلَمْ تَقْبَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوكَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ أُمُورًا لِيَعْرِفُوا بِهَا مَنْزِلَتَكَ مِنْ اللَّهِ كَمَا تَقُولُ، وَيُصَدِّقُوكَ وَيَتَّبِعُوكَ فَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِكَ مَا يَعْرِفُونَ بِهِ فَضْلَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَمَنْزِلَتَكَ مِنْ اللَّهِ، فَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوكَ أَنْ تُعَجِّلَ لَهُمْ بَعْضَ مَا تُخَوِّفُهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ الْعَذَابِ، فَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ - فَوَاَللَّهِ لَا أُومِنُ بِكَ أَبَدًا حَتَّى تَتَّخِذَ إلَى السَّمَاءِ سُلَّمًا، ثُمَّ تَرْقَى فِيهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهَا، ثُمَّ تَأْتِي مَعَكَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يَشْهَدُونَ لَكَ أَنَّكَ كَمَا تَقُولُ، وَاَيْمُ اللَّهِ، لَوْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي أُصَدِّقُكَ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - ﷺ وَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى أَهْلِهِ حَزِينًا آسِفًا لِمَا فَاتَهُ مِمَّا كَانَ يَطْمَعُ بِهِ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ حِينَ دَعَوْهُ، وَلِمَا رَأَى مِنْ مُبَاعَدَتِهِمْ إيَّاهُ
Translation
✧ [The report of ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Umayyah with the Messenger of God ﷺ] When they said that to the Messenger of God ﷺ, he rose from them, and ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Umayyah b. al-Mughīrah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm rose with him — and he was the son of his paternal aunt, for he was the son of ʿĀtikah bt. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib — and he said to him: O Muḥammad, your people offered you what they offered and you did not accept it from them. Then they asked you for their own sake for things by which they might know your station with God, as you claim, so that they might believe you and follow you, and you did not do it. Then they asked you to take for yourself that by which they might know your superiority over them and your station with God, and you did not do it. Then they asked you to hasten for them some of the punishment with which you threaten them, and you did not do it — or as he said to him. For by God, I will never believe in you until you take a ladder to heaven and then ascend upon it while I look at you until you reach it, and then you bring with you four angels who bear witness for you that you are as you say. And by God, if you did that, I would not think that I would believe you. Then he turned away from the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the Messenger of God ﷺ went to his family sad and grieved over what had escaped him of what he had hoped for from his people when they had called him, and over the estrangement he saw from them.
