Narrated ‘Aisha:
That she asked the Prophet , ‘Have you encountered a day harder than the day of the battle) of
Uhud?” The Prophet replied, “Your tribes have troubled me a lot, and the worse trouble was the
trouble on the day of ‘Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn ‘Abd-Yalail bin ‘Abd-Kulal and he did
not respond to my demand. So I departed, overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on,
and could not relax till I found myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards the sky
to see a cloud shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it. He called me saying, ‘Al –
lah has heard your people’s saying to you, and what they have replied back to you, Allah has sent the
Angel of the Mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these people.’
The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, “O Muhammad! Order what you
wish. If you like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them.” The Prophet said, “No
but I hope that Allah will let them beget children who will worship Allah Alone, and will worship
None besides Him.”
