Volume 6, Book 60, Number 339:
Narrated Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
I asked ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As to inform me of the worst thing the pagans had done to Al –
lah’s Apostle. He said: “While Allah’s Apostle was praying in the courtyard of the ka’ba, ‘Uqba bin Abi
Mu’ait came and seized Allah’s Apostle by the shoulder and twisted his garment round his neck and
throttled him severely. Abu Bakr came and seized ‘Uqba’s shoulder and threw him away from Allah’s
Apostle and said, “Would you kill a man because he says: ‘My Lord is Allah,’ and has come to you
with clear Signs from your Lord?” (40.28)
