Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ بْن أَحْمَد وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْهُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَرَّ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكَ فَانْتَهَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَهْلٍ لِمَ تَنْتَهِرُنِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا بِهَا رَجُلٌ أَكْثَرُ نَادِيًا مِنِّي قَالَ فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام { فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ } قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ دَعَا نَادِيَهُ لَأَخَذَتْهُ زَبَانِيَةُ الْعَذَابِ.
English Translation
Abu Jahl passed by and said: 'Did I not forbid you?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) rebuked him. Abu Jahl said: 'Why do you rebuke me, O Muhammad? By Allah, you know that there is no man in it (Makkah) with a larger assembly than mine.' Jibril, peace be upon him, said: 'Then let him call his assembly' (96:17). Ibn Abbas said: 'By Allah, had he called his assembly, the angels of punishment would have seized him.'
