English

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 172:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Jahl said, "O Allah! If this (Qur'an) is indeed the Truth from You), then rain down on us a
shower of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful punishment." So there was revealed:– 'But
Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammad) were amongst them, nor will He punish them
while they seek (Allah's) Forgiveness. And why Allah should not punish them while they stop (men)
from Al-Masjid-al-Haram ..' (8.33-34)
