Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I did not see the Quraysh ever intending to kill the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Only one day did I see them sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing prayer near Maqam Ibrahim. Then Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt stood up and went towards the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He put the cloak of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) around his neck and then pulled it, until the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell to his knees. People started shouting. They thought perhaps he had been martyred. The narrator says: In the meantime, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived. He grabbed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from behind with both arms, saying: "Do you want to kill a man who says, 'My Lord is Allah, the Exalted'?" Then those people left the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and went away. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, and when he completed his prayer, he passed by those people. They were sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah at that time. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O group of Quraysh, I have only been sent to you for slaughter (i.e., all of you will be killed fighting against me)." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated towards his throat with his blessed hand while saying this. So Abu Jahl said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), you are not one to respond harshly." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You too will be among them (i.e., those who will be killed among them)."

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of prostration and some people were present around him. At that time, Uqbah bin Abi Mu’ait came with the (intestines of a camel) and placed it on the back of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his head. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came and removed it from the back of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and supplicated against the one who had done this. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed:“O Allah, seize some individuals of Quraysh in Your grip: Abu Jahl bin Hisham, Utbah bin Rabi’ah, Shaybah bin Rabi’ah, Uqbah bin Abi Mu’ait, Umayyah bin Khalaf (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words), Ubayy bin Khalaf.”This doubt is from the narrator named Shu’bah. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Battle of Badr, I saw all these people that their (bodies) were thrown into a well. Only Umayyah was not thrown in because his body was torn into pieces. He was not thrown into the well.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Abu Jahl said, "Can Muhammad (peace be upon him) save his face among the people?" By the One in whose name oaths are sworn, if I see him doing so, I will place my foot on his neck." Then he came towards the Prophet (peace be upon him) to place his foot on his neck. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was performing prayer at that time. The narrator states: After a short while, it seemed as if he was trying to protect himself from something with his hand, and he turned back on his heels. Other people came to him and asked, "O Abu al-Hakam, what happened to you?" He said, "Between me and him was a trench of fire, terror, and wings." (i.e., there were invisible beings) The narrator named Abu Mu'tamir has transmitted these words, so Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: "Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays?" This verse continues to the end: "Then let him call his assembly," meaning his people. "We will call the guards," meaning the angels. "Do not obey him." After this, Allah the Exalted commanded the Prophet (peace be upon him) to perform a prostration of recitation at the end of this Surah.

The narrator says: According to Mu'tamir, this narration has also reached us that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "If he had come near me, the angels would have snatched away each of his limbs."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When (the Jewish leader) Ka'b bin Ashraf came to Makkah, people came to him and said: We perform the services of giving water to pilgrims and maintaining the House (of Allah), and you are the leader of the people of Yathrib. Are we better or is this man better who has become detached from his people and thinks that he is better than us? So Ka'b bin Ashraf said: You people are better than him. Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse to His Messenger: "Indeed, your enemy will be cut off." And this verse was revealed: "Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Book, but they believe in Jibt and Taghut and say to the disbelievers that they are more rightly guided than those who have believed?"

Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). We were six men. The polytheists said: Keep these people away from yourself, these people are such and such (the narrator says:) I was there, Abdullah bin Mas’ud was there, there was a man from the tribe of Huzail, Bilal was there, and there were two other men, one of whom I have forgotten. The narrator says: So regarding this, whatever Allah willed came to the mind of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he thought about it in his mind (that we should remove these people from ourselves), so Allah the Exalted revealed this verse:“And do not turn away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure.”This verse is until:“the wrongdoers.”

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Battle of Uhud, the front teeth of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were injured and his face was wounded, to the extent that blood began to flow from his face. The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said: "How can a people ever prosper who treat their Prophet (peace be upon him) in this manner, while he calls them towards their Lord?" Then this verse was revealed: "You have no concern in the matter, whether Allah turns to them in mercy or punishes them, for indeed they are wrongdoers."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was wiping blood from his face and saying, "How can a people succeed who wound their Prophet and injure his teeth, while he calls them towards Allah, the Exalted?" Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed this verse: "You have no concern with this matter."

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: It is as if I am still looking at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he narrated the story of a prophet. He said: The people of that prophet beat him so much that they wounded his face. That prophet (peace be upon him) was wiping the blood from his face and saying: O my Lord! Forgive my people, for they do not know.

Sayyiduna Jundub bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In a battle, the finger of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was wounded, so he said: "You are only a finger, from which blood is flowing, and you have faced this situation in the way of Allah."

Abu Hazim reports: The people asked Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him): With what was medicine applied to the wound of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Now there is no one left among the people who has more knowledge about this than me. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) brought water in a waterskin. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) was washing away the blood, then a mat was taken, it was burnt, and then it was applied (to the wound of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him).
