The Statement of Allah the Most High: "Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, a lying sinful forelock!" (V.96:15,16)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ الْجَزَرِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ لَئِنْ رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ لأَطَأَنَّ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ. فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " لَوْ فَعَلَهُ لأَخَذَتْهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ ". تَابَعَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ.
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Abu Jahl said, "If I see Muhammad praying at the Ka`ba, I will tread on his neck." When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that, he said, "If he does so, the Angels will snatch him away."
