حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي الْأَعْمَشَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَأَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ وَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَقْعَدُ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَعَدَ فِيهِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيكَ يَقَعُ فِي آلِهَتِنَا قَالَ مَا شَأْنُ قَوْمِكَ يَشْكُونَكَ قَالَ يَا عَمِّ أُرِيدُهُمْ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَدِينُ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدِّي الْعَجَمُ إِلَيْهِمْ الْجِزْيَةَ قَالَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَامُوا فَقَالُوا أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا قَالَ وَنَزَلَ { ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ } و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ و قَالَ أَبِي قَالَ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادٍ.
English Translation
Abu Talib fell ill, and the Quraysh and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came to visit him. Abu Jahl was sitting near his head. They (the Quraysh) said: "Your nephew speaks against our gods." Abu Talib asked: "What is wrong with your people that they complain about you?" The Prophet said: "O uncle, I want them to say one word by which the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay them tribute." He said: "What is it?" The Prophet said: "There is no god but Allah." They stood up and said: "Has he made all the gods into one god?" And the verse was revealed: "Sad. By the Quran containing reminder..." up to "Indeed, this is an amazing thing."
