Hadith #52170
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ: هَلْ يُعَفِّرُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ؟ فَقِيلَ: نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ: وَاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى لَئِنْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ لَأَطَأَنَّ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي - زَعَمَ لِيَطَأَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ - فَمَا فَجِئَهُمْ مِنْهُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَنْكُصُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَيَتَّقِي بِيَدَيْهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَالك؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ لَخَنْدَقًا مِنْ نَارٍ وَهَوْلًا وَأَجْنِحَةً. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ دَنَا مِنِّي لَاخْتَطَفَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عُضْواً عُضْواً» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: Abu Jahl said: Will Muhammad scrub his face between your backs? It was said: Yes. He said: By Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, if I saw him doing that, I would have stepped on his neck. So he came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, while he was praying - He claimed to step on his neck - but he did not. Then they came to him while he was turning on his heels and guarding himself with his hands, and it was said to him: What is the matter with you? He said: Between me and him there is a ditch of fire and terror and wings. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “If he had come near me, the angels would have snatched him up, one by one.” Narrated by Muslim
