Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Abu Talib fell ill and the Quraysh came to him, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also arrived to visit him. There was space for one person to sit by his head, when Abu Jahl stood up and sat in that place. The people, complaining about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "Abu Talib! Your nephew speaks ill of our gods." Abu Talib said: "Your people are complaining about you, what is the reason?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O uncle! I want them to say such a word, by which the Arabs will become subservient to them and the non-Arabs will pay them jizya." He said: "What is that word?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah)." Hearing this, those people stood up and said: "Has he made all the gods into one god?" Then this Qur'an was revealed: Saad. By the Qur'an full of reminder! But the disbelievers are in pride and opposition. We destroyed many generations before them; they cried out, but it was not the time for escape. And the disbelievers are astonished that a warner has come to them from among themselves, and they say: 'This is a sorcerer, a great liar. Has he made all the gods into one god? This is indeed a strange thing.'" (Surah Saad: 1 to 5)
