Abdullah bin Abbas reported,

There is a verse in the Book of Allah about which people never ask me, and I do not know whether they already understand it and so have no need to ask, or whether they are unaware of it and so do not think to ask.Someone said, "And which verse is that?"He replied, "A verse which, when it was revealed, 'Indeed, you and whatever you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell. You will be brought to it' [Anbiya 21:98], weighed heavily upon the people of Makkah, and they said, 'Muhammad has insulted our gods.'Then Ibn Zibara stood up and asked, 'What is the matter with you?'They said, 'Muhammad has insulted our gods.'He asked, 'What did he say?'They said, 'He said, "Indeed, you and whatever you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell. You will be brought to it."'He said, 'Call him to me.' So Muhammad was called, and Ibn Zibara said, 'Muhammad, does this apply to our gods in particular, or to everything that has been worshipped besides Allah?'He answered, 'Rather, it applies to everything that has been worshipped besides Allah' .Ibn Zibara said, 'Then we have bested him, by the Lord of this House! Muhammad, do you not claim that Isa is a righteous servant, that Uzayr is a righteous servant, and that the angels are righteous servants?'He said, 'Yes.'Ibn Zibara said, 'Well then, these Christians worship Isa, these Jews worship Uzayr, and these Banu Mulayh worship the angels.'At this the people of Makkah clamoured in triumph, and then there was revealed, 'Indeed, those for whom the decree has already gone forth from Us' (that is, Isa, Uzayr, and the angels) 'they will be kept far from it' [Anbiya 21:101]. And there was revealed, 'And when the son of Maryam was presented as an example, at once your people laughed aloud' [Zukhruf 43:57]."

عن ابن عباس، قال

آية في كتاب الله لا يسألني الناس عنها، ولا أدري: أعرفوها، فلا يسألوني عنها، أم جهلوها، فلا يسألوني عنها؟ قيل: وما هي؟ قال: آية لما نزلت: {إنكم وما تعبدون من دون الله حصب جهنم أنتم لها وردون} شق ذلك على أهل مكة، وقالوا: شتم محمد آلهتنا فقام ابن الزبعرى، فقال: ما شأنكم؟ قالوا: شتم محمدآلهتنا، قال: وما قال؟ قالوا: قال: {إنكم وما تعبدون من دون الله حصب جهنم أنتم لها وردون} قال: ادعوه لي، فدعي محمد، فقال ابن الزبعرى: يا محمد! هذا شيء لآلهتنا خاصة، أم لكل من عبد من دون الله؟ قال: بل لكل من عبد من دون الله عز وجل. قال: فقال: خصمناه ورب هذه البنية، يا محمد ألست تزعم أن عيسى عبد صالح، وعزيرا عبد صالح، و الملائكة عباد صالحون؟ قال: بلي. قال: فهذه النصارى يعبدون عيسى، وهذه اليهود تعبد عزيرا، وهذه بنو مليح تعبد الملائكة، قال: فضج أهل مكة، فنزلت: {إن الذين سبقت لهم منا} عيسى، وعزير، والملائكة {أوليك عنها مبعدون} قال: ونزلت: {ولما ضرب ابن مريم مثلا إذا قومك منه يصدون} [الزخرف: ٥٧].
