It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Abu Talib’s illness (of death) began, a group of the Quraysh came to him, among whom was Abu Jahl. The narrator says: They said (to Abu Talib),“Your nephew insults our gods, and he does this and says this. If you would send for him and forbid him (it would be good).”Abu Talib sent (someone) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or the narrator says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself came and entered the house. There was the space of one man’s sitting between Abu Talib and him. The narrator says: Abu Jahl feared that if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat beside Abu Talib, this would soften Abu Talib’s heart towards him. So Abu Jahl jumped up and sat in that place, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not find any seat near his uncle, so he sat by the door. Abu Talib said,“O nephew! What is the reason that your people are complaining about you? They think that you speak ill of their gods and say this and do this.”The narrator says: The Quraysh reproached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greatly. The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke and said,“O uncle! I want to call them to a word, if they say it, the Arabs will become subservient to them and the non-Arabs will send them their tribute.”The narrator says: The Quraysh were astonished at the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator says: The people said,“One word! Yes! By your father, even ten (words like that), what is that word?”Abu Talib asked,“O nephew! What is that word?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah).”The narrator states: All the Quraysh stood up in alarm, dusting off their clothes, and they were saying, { أَجَعَلَ الآلِہَۃَ إِلَہًا وَاحِدًا، إِنَّ ہَذَا لَشَیْئٌ عُجَابٌ} The narrator says that they recited up to { لَمَّا یَذُوقُوا عَذَابِ }.
