Abu Hurairah reported,

Abu Jahl asked, "Does Muhammad press his face to the ground in your midst?"Someone answered, "Yes."So he said, "By Lat and Uzza, if I see him doing that I will stamp 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, so he claimed, to stamp on his neck. But the next thing they knew, he was backing away on his heels and shielding himself with his hands.Someone asked him, "What is the matter with you?"He said, "Between me and him there is a trench of fire, and terror, 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 is part of Abu Hurairah's hadith or something that reached him, "No indeed, man transgresses in seeing himself self-sufficient. Truly, to your Lord is the return. Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays? Have you considered whether he is upon guidance, or enjoins righteousness? Have you considered whether he denies the truth and turns away?" [Alaq 96:6–13], meaning Abu Jahl, "Does he not know that Allah sees? No indeed, if he does not desist, We will surely seize him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock. So let him call his council, We will call the guards of Hell. No indeed, do not obey him" [Alaq 96:14–19].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.

حدثنا عبيد الله بن معاذ ومحمد بن عبد الأعلى القيسي قالا حدثنا المعتمر عن أبيه حدثني نعيم بن أبي هند عن أبي حازم

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 يصلي زعم ليطأ على رقبته قال فما فجئهم منه إلا وهو ينكص على عقبيه ويتقي 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 الإنسان ليطغى أن رآه استغنى إن إلى ربك الرجعى أرأيت الذي ينهى عبدا إذا صلى أرأيت إن كان على الهدى أو أمر بالتقوى أرأيت إن كذب وتولى} يعني أبا جهل {ألم يعلم بأن الله يرى كلا لئن لم ينته لنسفعا بالناصية ناصية كاذبة خاطئة فليدع ناديه سندع الزبانية كلا لا تطعه} زاد عبيد الله في حديثه قال وأمره بما أمره به وزاد ابن عبد الأعلى {فليدع ناديه} يعني قومه
