The account of the leaders of Quraysh with the Messenger ﷺ
[ مَا حَدَثَ لِأَبِي جَهْلٍ حِينَ هَمَّ بِإِلْقَاءِ الْحَجَرِ عَلَى الرَّسُولِ ﷺ ] فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ أَخَذَ حَجَرًا كَمَا وَصَفَ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْتَظِرُهُ، وَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا كَانَ يَغْدُو. وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ وَقِبْلَتُهُ إلَى الشَّامِ، فَكَانَ إذَا صَلَّى صَلَّى بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ وَالْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَجَعَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الشَّامِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَقَدْ غَدَتْ قُرَيْشٌ فَجَلَسُوا فِي أَنْدِيَتِهِمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَ مَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَاعِلٌ، فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْتَمَلَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ الْحَجَرَ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ نَحْوَهُ، حَتَّى إذَا دَنَا مِنْهُ رَجَعَ مُنْهَزِمًا مُنْتَقِعًا لَوْنُهُ مَرْعُوبًا قَدْ يَبِسَتْ يَدَاهُ عَلَى حَجَرِهِ، حَتَّى قَذَفَ الْحَجَرَ مِنْ يَدِهِ. وَقَامَتْ إلَيْهِ رِجَالُ قُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ ؟ قَالَ: قُمْتُ إلَيْهِ لِأَفْعَلَ بِهِ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ الْبَارِحَةَ، فَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ عَرَضَ لِي دُونَهُ فَحْلٌ مِنْ الْإِبِلِ، لَا وَاَللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ هَامَتهِ، وَلَا مِثْلَ قَصَرَتِهِ وَلَا أَنْيَابِهِ لِفَحْلٍ قَطُّ، فَهَمَّ بِي أَنْ يَأْكُلَنِي. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: ذَلِكَ جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - لَوْ دَنَا لَأَخَذَهُ
Translation
✧ [What happened to Abū Jahl when he intended to throw the stone at the Messenger ﷺ] When morning came, Abū Jahl took a stone as he had described, then sat waiting for the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ went out as he used to go out. At that time the Messenger of God ﷺ was in Makkah and his qiblah was toward Syria. When he prayed, he prayed between the Yamānī corner and the Black Stone, placing the Kaʿbah between himself and Syria. The Messenger of God ﷺ stood to pray. Quraysh had gone out and sat in their assemblies, waiting to see what Abū Jahl would do. When the Messenger of God ﷺ prostrated, Abū Jahl carried the stone and advanced toward him until, when he drew near, he retreated in defeat, his color changed, terrified, his hands withered upon his stone, until he threw the stone from his hand. Men of Quraysh went up to him and said, 'What is the matter with you, O Abū al-Ḥakam?' He said, 'I went toward him to do to him what I told you last night. But when I drew near to him, a stallion-camel appeared before me, blocking him. By God, I have never seen the like of its head, nor the like of its neck, nor the like of its fangs for any stallion-camel ever. It was about to devour me.' Ibn Isḥāq said: It was mentioned to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'That was Jibrīl ﷺ ; had he drawn nearer, he would have seized him.'
