Abu Hurairah reported,

Abu Jahl asked, "Does Muhammad press his face to the dust in front of you?"He was told, "Yes."So he said, "By Lat and Uzza, if I see him doing that I will tread on his neck, or I will grind his face into the dirt."He then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was praying, intending, as he claimed, to tread on his neck. But the next thing they knew, he was backing away on his heels and shielding himself with his hands.He was asked, "What is the matter with you?"He said, "Between him and me there is a trench of fire, and terrors, and wings."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Had he come near me, the angels would have snatched him limb from limb."Then Allah revealed, and we do not know whether this was part of Abu Hurairah's report or something else that reached him, "No indeed, man is surely rebellious when he thinks himself self sufficient. Truly to your Lord is the return. Have you seen him who forbids a servant when he prays? Have you considered, if he is upon guidance, or enjoins piety? Have you considered, if he denies and turns away? Does he not know that Allah sees? No indeed, if he does not desist We shall seize him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock. So let him call his council, We shall call the guards of Hell. No indeed, do not obey him" [Alaq 96:6–19].Ubaydullah added in his version, "And He commanded him with what He commanded him."Ibn Abdul-Ala added regarding "So let him call his council" that it means his people.

عن أبي هريرة قال

قال أبو جهل: هل يعفر محمد وجهه بين أظهركم؟ قال: فقيل: نعم فقال: واللات والعزى، لئن رأيته يفعل ذلك لأطأن على رقبته أو لأعفرن وجهه في التراب، قال: فأتى رسول الله ﷺ وهو يصلى زعم ليطأ على رقبته، قال: فما فجئهم منه إلا وهو ينكص على عقبيه ويتقى بيديه قال: فقيل له: ما لك؟ فقال: إن بيني وبينه لخندقا من نار وهولا وأجنحة فقال رسول الله ﷺ: لو دنا مني لاختطفته الملائكة عضوا عضوا قال: فأنزل الله عز وجل- لا ندري في حديث أبي هريرة أو شيء بلغه: {كلا إن الإنسن ليطغى أن رءاه استغنى إن إلى ربك الرجعى أرأيت الذي ينهى عبدا إذا صلى أريت إن كان على الهدى أو أمر بالتقوى أريت إن كذب وتولى الم يعلم بأن الله يرى كلا لن لم ينته لنسفعا بالناصية ناصية كذبة خاطئة فليدع ناديه سندع الزبانية كلا لا تطعه} زاد عبيد الله في حديثه قال: وأمره بما أمره به. وزاد ابن عبد الأعلى {فليدع ناديه} فليدع ناديه يعني: قومه.
