When the Prophet said to me, "The bounty hunter has reached us" and I started to cry. The Prophet asked why I was crying, and I replied, "It is not for myself that I cry, rather, I cry (that harm will come) for you." Whereupon the Messenger of Allah supplicated saying, "O Allah suffice us as You wish from him" and the legs of Suraka's horse sank deeply into a rock up to its belly. Suraka jumped off his horse and exclaimed, "O Muhammad, indeed, I know this is on account of you. Supplicate to Allah to save me from this status, by Allah, I will divert the bounty hunters and those who are behind me who seek you. Take this spear sheath of mine. You will pass by my camels and sheep in such-and-such a place. Take whatever you need from them." The Messenger of Allah graciously declined his offer saying, "I have no need of it" and supplicated for Suraka who then rode off to return to his companions.
Abu Hurayrah tells us, Abu Jahl had sworn that he would tread on the neck of Prophet Muhammad the next time he saw him in prostration, or, he would rub his face in dust. Abu Jahl's companions came to him and told him that the Prophet was praying near the Ka’bah, so Abu Jahl approached him, then he turned away in fright, protecting himself with his hands. His companions asked what had happened and he told them, "As I approached I looked down and saw a trench full of fire into which I almost fell. It was a terrifying sight and the fluttering of wings filled the earth." Later, the Prophet told his Companions the fluttering of wings were those of angels and said, "If he had come any nearer they would have torn him limb by limb." It was then that the verse, "Indeed, surely the human is very insolent" (96:6) was revealed.
The Prophet said he was helped by the casting of terror into the hearts of his enemies who were even as far away as a months travel from him.
The Prophet's Knowledge and Sciences
Allah gave His Prophet an abundance of concentrated knowledge relating to both worldly affairs and His Religion. He gave to him knowledge of the instructions of Law, of the affairs of jurisprudence and the articles of the Religion, and the best way in which to communicate with people and what was best for the welfare of his nation.
Prophet Muhammad was given knowledge of the circumstances of previous nations, and became knowledgeable of the stories of prophets, messengers, tyrants, and of each generation from Adam until his time, coupled to knowledge of their laws and scriptures. He understood their history, news and how Allah dealt with them, their individual descriptions, they different opinions, knowledge of their time span and ages, the wisdom of their sages and the arguments of the unbelievers of every nation.
