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."

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.
