وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَعَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ الْعَامِرِىُّ - وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِى عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ أَتَى عَلَيْكَ يَوْمٌ كَانَ أَشَدَّ مِنْ يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ « لَقَدْ لَقِيتُ مِنْ قَوْمِكِ وَكَانَ أَشَدَّ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْعَقَبَةِ إِذْ عَرَضْتُ نَفْسِى عَلَى ابْنِ عَبْدِ يَالِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ كُلاَلٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِى إِلَى مَا أَرَدْتُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ وَأَنَا مَهْمُومٌ عَلَى وَجْهِى فَلَمْ أَسْتَفِقْ إِلاَّ بِقَرْنِ الثَّعَالِبِ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِى فَإِذَا أَنَا بِسَحَابَةٍ قَدْ أَظَلَّتْنِى فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا فِيهَا جِبْرِيلُ فَنَادَانِى فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ سَمِعَ قَوْلَ قَوْمِكَ لَكَ وَمَا رَدُّوا عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ مَلَكَ الْجِبَالِ لِتَأْمُرَهُ بِمَا شِئْتَ فِيهِمْ قَالَ فَنَادَانِى مَلَكُ الْجِبَالِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَىَّ. ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ سَمِعَ قَوْلَ قَوْمِكَ لَكَ وَأَنَا مَلَكُ الْجِبَالِ وَقَدْ بَعَثَنِى رَبُّكَ إِلَيْكَ لِتَأْمُرَنِى بِأَمْرِكَ فَمَا شِئْتَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ أُطْبِقَ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَخْشَبَيْنِ ». فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « بَلْ أَرْجُو أَنْ يُخْرِجَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَصْلاَبِهِمْ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا ».

It was narrated from Ibn Shihab: ·'Urwah bin Az-Zubair told me that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), narrated that she said to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w): 'O Messenger of Allah, was there ever a day that was worse for you than the day of (the battle of) Uhud?' He said: 'I suffered at the hands of your people, and the worst that I suffered from them was the day of Al-'Aqabah, when I presented myself to Ibn 'Abd Yalil bin 'Abd Kulal, and he did not respond to what I wanted. So I went, with signs of distress on my face, and I did not recover until I was in Qarn Ath-Tha 'Alib, where I lifted my head and saw that a cloud was shading me. I looked and saw therein Jibra'il, who called me and said: "Allah has heard what your people said to you, and how they have rejected you. He has sent to you the angel of the mountains, so that you can tell him to do whatever you want to them. Then he called the angel of the mountains to me and he greeted me with Salam, then said: O Muhammad, Allah has heard what your people have said to you, and I am the angel of the mountains. Your Lord has sent me so that you can tell me what to do. What do you want? If you wish I will bring together Al-Akhshabain (the two mountains of Makkah) to crush them." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to him: Rather I hope that Allah will bring forth from their loins people who will worship Allah alone, not associating anything with Him."'
