Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying near the Ka'bah and Abu Jahl and his companions were also sitting there. One of them said to the others, "Is there anyone among you who will bring the entrails of the she-camel that was slaughtered by such-and-such tribe, and when Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) goes into prostration, place it on his back?" Upon hearing this, the most wretched among them got up, brought the entrails, and waited. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went into prostration, he placed the entrails between his shoulders. (Abdullah bin Mas'ud says) I was watching all this but could do nothing. If only I had the power to stop it at that time! Abdullah says that they started laughing and rolling over with laughter, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in prostration and could not raise his head due to the weight. Eventually, Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came and removed the burden from the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) back and threw it away. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and said three times, "O Allah! Seize the Quraysh." This was very hard on those disbelievers that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed them. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that they believed that any supplication made in this city (Makkah) would surely be accepted. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the name of each one of them individually, "O Allah! Destroy these oppressors: Abu Jahl, Utbah bin Rabi'ah, Shaybah bin Rabi'ah, Walid bin Utbah, Umayyah bin Khalaf, and 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt." He also mentioned the name of a seventh person, but I do not remember it. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! I saw the very people whose names the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned while cursing, lying dead in the well of Badr.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "Has there been any day harder upon you than the day of Uhud?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "I have faced many hardships from your people (the Quraysh), but the most difficult time for me was the day of Aqabah. That was the occasion when I presented myself to (the chief of Ta’if) Kinanah bin ‘Abd Yalil bin ‘Abd Kulal, but he did not accept (Islam) and rejected my invitation. I left there extremely saddened. Then, when I reached Qarn al-Tha‘alib, I regained consciousness. I lifted my head and saw that a piece of cloud was shading me, and I saw that Jibreel (Gabriel), peace be upon him, was in it. He called me and said, 'Allah has heard what your people have said to you and how they have rejected you. Allah has sent the Angel of the Mountains to you, so you may command him as you wish regarding them.' Then the Angel of the Mountains called me, greeted me with peace, and said, 'O Muhammad!' Then he repeated the same thing, 'If you wish, I will bring the two mountains together upon them (so that they will be crushed).' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Rather, I hope that Allah will bring forth from their descendants those who will worship Allah alone and will not associate anything with Him.'"

Hazrat Jundub bin Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was present on the occasion of a battle and his finger was injured. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed his finger and said: "What is your reality except that you are an injured finger, and whatever has happened has happened in the way of Allah."

Hazrat Jundub bin Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill and for two or three nights he did not get up (for Tahajjud prayer). Then a woman (the wife of Abu Lahab, ‘Auwra’) came and said,“O Muhammad! I think your devil has forsaken you. For two or three nights I have seen that he has not come to you.”Upon this, Allah the Exalted revealed Surah Ad-Duha… that is,“By the morning brightness, and by the night when it grows still, your Lord has not forsaken you, nor is He displeased with you…”to the end.
