most of them turn away and do not listen. They say, 'Our hearts are veiled from that to which you call us, and in our ears there is heaviness. And between us and you is a veil. So work (as you will) and we are working.' Say (Prophet Muhammad), 'I am only a human like you, to whom it is revealed that your God is One God. Therefore be straight with Him and ask Him to forgive you. Woe to the idolaters, who do not pay charity and disbelieve in the Everlasting Life. For those who believe and do good works is an enduring wage.' Say, 'Do you disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days? And do you set up equals with Him? He is the Lord of the Worlds.' He set firm mountains on top (of the earth) and He blessed it. And in four days He ordained in it many provisions, equal to those who ask. Then He willed to the heaven when it was smoke, and to it and the earth He said, 'Come willingly, or unwillingly.' 'We come willingly,' they answered. In two days He determined them seven heavens, and He revealed to each heaven its commands. We adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and preserve them. Such is the decree of the Almighty, the Knower. But if they turn away, say, 'I have given you warning of a thunderbolt similar to that which overtook Aad and Thamood.' (41:1-13)

Utba could not bear to hear it and put his hand over the Prophet's mouth and begged him to stop. It is also reported that he listened and in so doing he put his hands behind his back and leant on them until the Prophet reached the verse of prostration, whereupon the Prophet prostrated. Utba did not know how to deal with the situation and immediately got up, returned to his family and declined to go out to his tribesmen. His fellow tribesmen came to him and he apologized telling them, "By Allah, he recited some words to me, and by Allah, I have never heard anything like them, I just did not know what to say to him."
