قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، قَالَ:

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَشْهَدُ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَشَاهِدَهُمْ، قَالَ: فَسَمِعَ مَلَكَيْنِ خَلْفَهُ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ: اذْهَبْ بِنَا حَتَّى نَقُومَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ نَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ وَإِنَّمَا عَهْدُهُ بِاسْتِلَامِ الْأَصْنَامِ قَبْلُ ؟ فَلَمْ يَعُدْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَشْهَدُ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَشَاهِدَهُمْ.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to attend the gatherings of the polytheists. He said: He heard two angels behind him, one of them saying to the other, 'Let us go so that we may stand behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'How can we stand behind him when his last contact was with touching the idols?' After that, he never attended the gatherings of the polytheists again.
