disobeyed the Prophet and many Muslims were martyred, Lady Ayesha,
Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, asked the Prophet
if there had been a day harder that it. The Prophet told her that the hardest
day he encountered was the day that Abd Yalil rejected Islam and refused
an alliance with him. He told her that he was so deeply saddened by the
rejection that it wasn't until he reached Karn Th'alib that he happened to
glance up into the heavens and saw a cloud that had been protecting him.
He told her that in that cloud he saw the Angel Gabriel who spoke to him
saying, "Allah has heard what your people said to you and seen their
response. He has sent the Angel of the Mountains to you so that you may
tell him whatever you wish to be done." Then, the Angel of the Mountains
greeted me with peace and said, "Allah has indeed heard the response of
your people, direct me and I will do whatever you tell me to do to them. If
you wish I can crush them with the two mountains that surround Mecca."
But the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, in his loving mercy replied,
"No, it is my hope that from their children will be those who believe in Allah,
the One, and do not associate anything with Him."
