You do not refrain from speaking ill of our gods. If you want testimony that you have conveyed the message, then we testify that you have conveyed it.”Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed, and Abu Jahl turned to me and said,“By God!

We said, ‘Fine.’ Then they said, ‘The hospitality of the pilgrims is with us.’ We said, ‘Fine.’ Then they said, ‘The place for the chiefs to sit is with us.’ We said, ‘Fine.’ They said, ‘The honor of giving water to the pilgrims is with us.’ We said, ‘Fine.’ Then they fed (the pilgrims) and we also fed (them), and now when the people’s comings and goings have increased, they say, ‘A prophet is among us.’ By God, we will never accept this.”

He cut the ears of both, and declared their milk and riding on them to be forbidden. I am seeing that man and his she-camels in Hell, that they are trampling him with their feet and biting him with their mouths.

I am seeing him dragging his intestines in Hell, and because of him, the people of Hell are being tormented.
