Re : Mohammad’s Christian female slave
Refuting Neil Littlejohn (
converted2attackingislam)
Let's start
He said :‘In tafseer Al Jalalayan....’ in terms of your
coptic hand Mariyah when he lay with her......’
The response : 1- At the beginning you used to take from Ibn Katheer , but this time you took from Tafseer AlJalalayn
though Ibn Katheer mentioned more than one
reasons for reevaluation of
the Ayah.Do you know why ?
Because you just want to attack Islam.Even you ignored
the authentic hadith in Two Sahihs ( Al-Bukhari and Muslim ) and
you just took Mursal narration!
This story you have mentioned Is in
Tafseer aljalalayn Is Mursal and one of them
was narrated by Zaid Bin Asslam and it was authenticated by Ibn Hajar and
Assan'aani.Though they authenticated it but it is still Mursal narration.
Ibn Hajar narrated that Al Qadhi E’yadh said’ this
story did not come from any authentic source '
HOWEVER THE FOLLOWING ARE THE
OTHER NARRATIONS WHICH NEIL DID NOT SHOW , AND THEY ARE THE MOST
AUTHENTIC HADITHS :
Narrated `Ubaid bin `Umar:
I heard `Aisha saying, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to stay for a long while with Zanab bint
Jahsh and drink honey at her house. So
Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet (ﷺ)
came to anyone of us, she should say him, "I detect the smell of Maghafir
(a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten Maghafir?' " So the Prophet
(ﷺ) visited one of them and she said to him
similarly. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Never mind, I have taken some honey at the house of Zainab bint
Jahsh, but I shall never drink of it anymore." So there was revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allaah has
made lawful for you . . . If you two (wives of Prophet) turn in repentance to
Allaah,' (66.1-4) addressing Aisha and Hafsa. 'When the Prophet (ﷺ) disclosed a matter in confidence to some of his
wives.' (66.3) namely his saying: But I have taken some honey." Al Bukhari
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: 'For the whole year I had the desire to ask `Umar bin Al-Khattab regarding the
explanation of an Ayah (in Surat Al-Tahrim) but I could not ask him
because I respected him very much. When he went to perform the Hajj, I too went
along with him. On our return, while we were still on the way home. `Umar went
aside to answer the call of nature by the Arak trees. I waited till he finished
and then I proceeded with him and asked him. "O chief of the Believers!
Who were the two wives of the Prophet who aided one another against him?"
He said, "They were Hafsa and `Aisha." Then I said to him, "By
Allaah, I wanted to ask you about this a year ago, but I could not do so owing
to my respect for you." `Umar said, "Do not refrain from asking me.
If you think that I have knowledge (about a certain matter), ask me; and if I
know (something about it), I will tell you." Then `Umar added, "By Allaah, in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance we did not
pay attention to women until Allaah revealed regarding them what He revealed
regarding them and assigned for them what He has assigned. Once while I was thinking over a certain
matter, my wife said, "I recommend that you do so-and-so." I said to
her, "What have you got to do with the is matter? Why do you poke your
nose in a matter which I want to see fulfilled.?" She said, How strange
you are, O son of Al-Khattab! You don't want to be argued with whereas your
daughter, Hafsa surely, argues with Allaah's Messenger so much that
he remains angry for a full day!" `Umar then reported; how he at once
put on his outer garment and went to Hafsa and said to her, "O my
daughter! Do you argue with Allah's Messenger so that he remains
angry the whole day?" Hafsa said, "By Allaah, we argue with
him." `Umar said, "Know that I warn you of Allah's punishment and the
anger of Allah's Messenger . . . O my daughter! Don't be betrayed by
the one who is proud of her beauty because of the love of Allaah's Messenger for
her (i.e. `Aisha)." `Umar addled, "Then I went out to Um
Salama's house who was one of my relatives, and I talked to her. She said, O
son of Al-Khattab! It is rather astonishing that you interfere in everything;
you even want to interfere between Allaah's Messenger and his wives!'
By Allaah , by her talk she influenced me so much that I lost some of my
anger. I left her (and went home). At that time I had a friend from the Ansar
who used to bring news (from the Prophet) in case of my absence, and I used to
bring him the news if he was absent. In those days we were afraid of one of the
kings of Ghassan tribe. We heard that he intended to move and attack us, so
fear filled our hearts because of that. (One day) my Ansari friend unexpectedly
knocked at my door, and said, "Open Open!' I said, 'Has the king of
Ghassan come?' He said, 'No, but something worse; Allah's Messenger has
isolated himself from his wives.' I said, 'Let the nose of `Aisha and Hafsa be
stuck to dust (i.e. humiliated)!' Then I put on my clothes and went to Allaah's
Messenger's residence, and behold, he was staying in an upper room of his to
which he ascended by a ladder, and a black slave of Allah's Messenger was
(sitting) on the first step. I said to him, 'Say (to the Prophet ) `Umar
bin Al-Khattab is here.' Then the Prophet admitted me and I narrated the story
to Allah's Messenger. When I reached the story of Um Salama, Allaah'sMessenger smiled while he was lying on a mat made of palm tree leaves with
nothing between him and the mat. Underneath his head there was a leather pillow
stuffed with palm fibres, and leaves of a saut tree were piled at his feet, and
above his head hung a few water skins. On seeing the marks of the mat imprinted
on his side, I wept. He said.' 'Why are you weeping?' I replied, "O
Allaah's messenger ! Caesar and Khosrau are leading the life
(i.e. Luxurious life) while you, Allaah'sMessenger though you are, is
living in destitute". The Prophet then replied. 'Won't you be satisfied
that they enjoy this world and we the Hereafter?' " ِAl
Bukhari
A'isha (Allaah be pleased with her) narrated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to spend time with Zainab daughter of Jahsh
and drank honey at her house. She ('A'isha further) said:I and Hafsa agreed that one whom A;;aah's Messenger(ﷺ) would visit first should say: I notice that you
have an odour of the Maghafir (gum of mimosa). He (the Prophet) visited one of
them and she said to him like this, whereupon he said: I have taken honey in
the house of Zainab bint Jabsh and I will never do it again. It was at this (that
the following Ayah was revealed): 'Why do you hold to be forbidden what
Allah has made lawful for you... (up to). If you both ('A'isha and Hafsa) turn
to Allah" up to:" And when the Prophet confided an information to one
of his wives" (lxvi. 3). This refers to his saying: But I have taken
honey. Muslim
There is another narration about his female slave but it is not the same story which you have taken from Al Jalalayn :
It was narrated from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah had a female
slave with whom he had intercourse, but 'Aishah and Hafsah would not leave him
alone until he said that she was forbidden for him. Then Allah, the Mighty and
Sublime, revealed:
"O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has
allowed to you.' until the end of the Ayah.' Al Nisaa'i
Though An-Nissa'i mentioned the same narration which was mentioned in Al Bukhary and Muslim :
Though An-Nissa'i mentioned the same narration which was mentioned in Al Bukhary and Muslim :
'Aishah said that the Messenger of Allah used to stay with Zainab bint
Jahsh and drink honey at her house. Hafsah and I agreed that if the Prophet
entered upon either of us, she would say:
"I perceive the smell of Maghafir (a nasty-smelling gum) on you;
have you eaten Maghafir?" He came in to one of them, and she said that to
him. He said: "No, rather I drank honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh,
but I will never do it again." Then the following was revealed: 'O
Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.'
'If you two turn in repentance to Allah, (it will be better for you)' about
'Aishah and Hafsah, 'And (remember) when the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence
to one of his wives' refers to him saying: "No, rather I drank
honey."
There could be more than one reason fro revelation of one Ayah.However,
the reason which was mentioned in Al-Bukhary and Muslim is the most authentic
Sanad ( chain of narration ) which you ignored
and did not give any attention to.
2-The prophet Mohammad was not only one who had
slave in his time.He was not the only prophet owned slaves .
The Solomon of the bible ( please do not take
this as insulting Judaism and Christianity)
((1 Kings 11 : [1] But king Solomon loved many
strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites,
Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
[2] Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
[3] And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
[4] For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
[5] For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
[6] And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
[7] Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
[8] And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
[9] And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
[10] And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
[11] Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.))

Yes, Prophet Solomon had many wives, but he was not
evil man :We read in the Noble Quraan :
102. They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their ownselves, if they but knew.)

What about the David of the Bible:
David ‘s characters in the Bible :
2 Samuel2
Samuel11 : [2] And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
[3] And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
[4] And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
[5] And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
[6] And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
[7] And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
[8] And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
[9] But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
[10] And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
[11] And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
[12] And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
[13] And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
[14] And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
[15] And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
[16] And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
[17] And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

[12] Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
[13] And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
[14] And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Numbers 31: [15] And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the
women alive?
[16] Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there
was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.[17] Now therefore kill every
male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying
with him.
[18] But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves.
[19] And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed
any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and
your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
[20] And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all
work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

And what did the R. Simeon b. Yohai understand from Numbers 31?
let us read from Jewish sources :
Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Yebamoth ,Yebamoth 60b
It was taught: R. Simeon b. Yohai
stated: A proselyte who is under the
age of three years and one day is permitted to marry a priest,13 for
it is said, But all the women children that have not known man by lying
with him, keep alive for yourselves,14-
( HE means numbers 31 which I have mentioned above )
and Phinehas15 surely was with them. And the Rabbis?16
— [These were kept alive] as bondmen and bondwomen.17 If so,18 a
proselyte whose age is three years and one day19 should also
be permitted! — [The prohibition is to be explained] in accordance with R.
Huna. For R. Huna pointed out a contradiction: It is written, Kill every
woman that hath known man by lying with him,20

Questioning prophet Mohammad ( ﷺ)
this is an amazing quotation from
Islam-guide :
look at his simple life!
Aisha, may Allaah be pleased with her, said, “The family of Muhammad, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, had never satisfied their hunger with barley bread for two consecutive days till the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, died.” [Agreed upon]
‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allaah be pleased with
him, mentioned what people have got from this worldly life, and said: “I saw
the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, staying a day
writhing (of hunger), without finding even a bad kind of date to fill his
stomach”. [Muslim]
Utba ibn Ghazwan, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, “I found myself as the seventh amongst the seven who had been along with the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him. We had nothing to eat but the leaves of hubla (a wild tree) until the corners of our mouths were injured.” Muslim
Aisha, may Allaah be pleased with her, said “The
bed mattress of the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon
him, was made of a leather case stuffed with palm fibres.” Al-Bukhari
Abdullah bin `Umar said, "Allaah's Messenger
took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger
or a traveler." The sub-narrator added: Ibn `Umar used to say, "If
you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if
you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and
take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your
death." Al-Bukhary
'I heard Khabbab, who had branded his `Abdomen with
seven brands, saying, "Had Allaah's Messenger not forbidden us to invoke
Allaah for death, I would have invoked Allaah for death. The companions of
Muhammad have left this world without taking anything of their reward in it
(i.e., they will have perfect reward in the Hereafter), but we have collected
of the worldly wealth what we cannot spend but on earth (i.e. on building
houses). Al-Bukhary
“A man came to the Messenger of Allaah,
prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, and said, ‘I am hard pressed by
hunger’. He sent to one of his wives. She said, ‘By Him Who has sent you with
Truth there is nothing we have but only water.’ He then sent to another and she
gave the same reply until all of them gave the same reply, ‘No. By Him Who has
sent you with Truth there is nothing we have but only water.” Muslim
Jabir, may Allaah be pleased with her, narrated
that the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, asked
his family for condiment. They said: We have nothing with us but vinegar. He
asked for it and he began to eat it, and then he said, “What a good condiment
Vinegar is”. Jabir said, “I have always loved vinegar since I heard it
from the Prophet, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him.” Muslim
Abu Huraira, may Allaah be pleased with him,
narrated that the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him,
went out (of his house) one day or one night, and there he found Abu Bakr and
‘Umar also, may Allaah be pleased with them. He said, “What has brought you out
of your houses at this hour? They said, ‘O Allaah’s Messenger, it is hunger.’
Thereupon he said, ‘By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what has brought you out
has brought me out too; get up.’ They got up along with him. They came to the
house of an Ansari man, but he was not at home. When his wife saw him (the
Prophet) she said, ‘You are most welcome.’ The Messenger of Allaah, prayers and
peace of Allaah be upon him, said to her, ‘Where is so and so?’ She said, ‘He
has gone to get some fresh water for us.’ When the Ansari man came and he saw
the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, and his two
Companions, he said, ‘Praise be to Allaah, no one has more honorable guests
today than I (have).’ He then went out and brought them a bunch of ripe dates,
dry dates and fresh dates, and said, ‘Eat some of them.’ He then took hold of
his long knife (for slaughtering a goat or a sheep). The Messenger of Allaah,
prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, said to him, ‘Beware of slaughtering a
milk animal.’ He slaughtered a sheep for them and after they had eaten of it
and of the bunch and drank, and when they had taken their fill and had been
fully satisfied with the drink, the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of
Allaah be upon him, said to Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, ‘By Him in Whose Hand my life
is, you will certainly be questioned about this bounty on the Day of judgment.
Hunger brought you out of your house, and then you did not return until this
bounty came to you.’” [ Muslim ]
‘Urwa narrated that Aisha, may Allaah be pleased with
her, said “By Allaah O my nephew! We used to see the crescent, and then the
crescent and then the crescent, in this way we saw three crescents in two
months and no fire (for cooking) used to be made in the houses of the Messenger
off Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him.” ‘Urwa said, “O my aunt!
Then what used to sustain you?” She said, “The two black things: dates and
water. However, the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon
him, had some neighbours from Al-Ansâr (the original people of Medina), and
they had milk animals. They used to send milk to the Messenger of Allaah,
prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, and he used to make us
drink!” Muslim
Anas said about him: “The Prophet, prayers and
peace of Allaah be upon him, never ate at a dining table until he died nor did
he ever eat well-baked thin bread until he died.” Al-Bukhari
Sahl ibn Sa’d, may Allaah be pleased with him,
said, “The Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, did
not see sifted bread since Allaah Almighty sent him until he took his soul”. He
was asked, “Did the people have (use) sieves during the lifetime of the
Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him?” Sahl said, “The
Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, never saw (used)
a sieve since Allaah sent him as an Messenger until He took him unto Him.” He
was said, “How could you eat barley un-sifted?” He said, “We used to grind it
and then blow off its husk, and after the husk flew away, we used to prepare
the dough (bake) and eat it.” Al-Bukhari
‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allaah be pleased with
him, mentioned what people have got from this worldly life, and said: “I saw
the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, staying a day
writhing (of hunger), without finding even a bad kind of date to fill his
stomach”. (Muslim)
Anas ibn Malik, may Allaah be pleased with him,
narrated that Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, “I have noticed feebleness in the
voice of the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him,
which I think, is caused by hunger. Have you got any food?” She said, “Yes.”
She brought out some loaves of barley and took out a veil belonging to her, she
wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my arm and wrapped part of the
veil round me and sent me to the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of
Allaah be upon him. I went carrying it and found the Messenger of Allaah, prayers
and peace of Allaah be upon him, in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I
stood there, the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him,
asked, “Has Abu Talha sent you?” I said, “Yes”. He asked, “With some food? I
said, “Yes.” The Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him,
then said to the men around him, “Get up!” He set out (accompanied by them) and
I went ahead of them till I reached Abu Talha (and told him of the Prophet’s
visit). Abu Talha said, “O Um Sulaim! The Messenger of Allaah, prayers and
peace of Allaah be upon him, is coming with the people and we have no food to
feed them.” She said, “Allaah and His Messenger know better.” So Abu Talha went
out to receive the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon
him. Abu Talha and the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon
him, came along until they entered the house. The Messenger of Allaah, prayers
and peace of Allaah be upon him, said, “O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have.”
She brought that bread which Allaah’s Messenger ordered to be broken into
pieces. Um Sulaim poured on them some butter from an oilskin. Then the
Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, recited what
Allaah wished him to recite, and then said, “Let ten persons come (to share the
meal).” Ten persons were admitted; they ate their fill and went out. Then he
said, “Let ten persons come (to share the meal).” They were admitted, ate their
fill and went out. Then he again said, ‘‘Let ten persons come (to share the
meal)” They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he said, “Let
another ten persons come.” In short, all of them ate their fill, and they were
eighty men.”[Agreed upon]
It is reported that Aisha, may Allaah be pleased
with her, said, “When the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah be
upon him, died nothing which can be eaten by a living creature was left on my
shelf except a half of barley grain. I ate from it for a long period and when I
measured it, it finished.” [Agreed upon] At-Tirmidhi said, “a half of barley
grain” means some barley grain”
Anas, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, “The
Prophet, prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, mortgaged his armor for
barley. Once I took barley bread with some dissolved fat on it to the Prophet,
prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him, and I heard him saying, “The household
of Muhammad did possess not anything but a sâ’ for both the morning and the
evening meals, although they are nine houses.” Al-Bukhari
The hardship the Prophet Mohammad went
through :
1-‘ 30. And (remember) when the
disbelievers plotted against you (O Muhammad ) to imprison you, or to kill
you, or to get you out (from your home, i.e. Makkah); they were plotting
and Allaah too was planning, and Allaah is the Best of the planners.’Al-Anfaal
‘40. If you help him (Muhammad )
not (it does not matter), for Allaah did indeed help him when the disbelievers
drove him out, the second of two, when they (Muhammad and Abu Bakr )
were in the cave, and he said to his companion (Abu Bakr ): "Be not sad
(or afraid), surely Allaah is with us." Then Allaah sent down
His Sakinah (calmness, tranquillity, peace, etc.) upon him, and
strengthened him with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of
those who disbelieved the lowermost, while it was the Word of Allaah that
became the uppermost, and Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.’ At-tawbah
2- ‘Urwa ibn Az-Zubair, may Allaah be pleased
with him, said, “I asked Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-&’Acs about the worst
thing which the pagans did to the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of
Allaah be upon him. He said, “[While the Prophet was praying in the Hijr of the
Ka’ba;] ‘Uqba ibn Abu Mu’ait came and took the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and
peace of Allaah be upon him, by the shoulder and put his garment around his
neck and squeezed it violently. Abu Bakr came and caught him by his shoulder
and pushed him away from the Messenger of Allaah, prayers and peace of Allaah
be upon him, and said, “{Would you kill a man because he says: My Lord is
Allâh, and he has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your
Lord?}” Al Bukhari
Narrated `Abdullah: While Allaah's Messenger
was prostrating (as stated below). Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: Once the Prophet
was offering prayers at the Ka`ba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his
companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you will bring
the Abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put
it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The most unfortunate of
them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet prostrated and then
placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do
any thing. I wish I had some people with me to hold out against them. They
started laughing and falling on one another. Allaah's Messenger was in
prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter)
came and threw that (camel's Abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his
head and said thrice, "O Allaah! Punish Quraish." So it was hard for
Abu Jahl and his companions when the Prophet invoked Allaah against them as
they had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were accepted in this
city (Mecca). The Prophet said, "O Allaah! Punish Abu Jahl, `Utba
bin Rabi`a, Shaiba bin Rabi`a, Al-Walid bin `Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and `Uqba
bin Al Mu'it (and he mentioned the seventh whose name I cannot recall).
By Allaah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies of those persons who
were counted by Allaah's Messenger in the Qalib (one of the wells) of
Badr ‘. Al Bukhari
Aisha Said ‘ to the Messenger of Allaah
(prayers and peace of Allaah be upon him): “O Messenger of Allaah, has there
come upon you a day more worst than the day of Uhud?” He said: “I have
experienced from your people, and the hardest treatment I met from them was
what I received from them on the day of Al-Aqaba. I betook myself to Ibn Abd
Yalayl ibn Abd Kulal (with the purpose of inviting him to Islam), but he did
not respond to me as I desired. So I departed with signs of (deep) distress on
my face. I did not recover until I reached Qarn Al-Tha’âlib, where I raised my
head, lo! near me was a cloud which had cast its shadow on me. I looked and lo!
There was in it the angel Jibrîl (peace be upon him) who called out to me and
said: Allaah has heard what your people have said to you, and how they have
reacted to your call. And He has sent to you the angel in charge of the
mountains so that you may order him what you wish (him to do) with regard to
them. The angel in charge of the mountains (then) called out to me, greeted me
and said: O Muhammad, Allaah has listened to what your people have said to you.
I am the angel in charge of the mountains, and your Lord has sent me to you so
that you may order me what you wish. If you wish I could close down on them
Al-Akhshabayn? (two mountains in Makkah). But the Messenger of Allaah (prayers
and peace of Allaah be upon him) said to him: I rather hope that Allaah will
produce from their descendants who worship Allaah, alone, and do not ascribe
partners to Him.
