What Quraysh offered to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
(The first story)
Utbah bin Rabia said:
One day, while he was sitting in the Quraysh club, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting in the mosque alone: O people of Quraish, should I not stand up to Muhammad? talk to him and show him, some things, perhaps he will accept some of them, so we can give him whichever he wants, and he will stop us, and that is when Hamzah embraced Islam and they saw the companions of the Messenger of God increasing and multiplying, They said: Yes, Abu al-Walid: So get up to him and he spoke to him. So he stood up to him: Utbah until he sat down to: The Messenger of God.
The Conversation
Utbah said
O my nephew, you are one of us, as you have learned from the authority in the clan and the place in the lineage, and that you have brought to your people a great thing: with which you have scattered their group, ridiculed their dreams, and reproached their gods and their religion with it, you have disbelieved in those who passed away from their forefathers, so hear from me, I present to you matters: you should look into them, perhaps you will accept some of them from us.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Say, O Abu al-Walid, I hear
Utbah said
O my nephew, if you only want money with what you brought from this matter, we have collected for you from our money so that you will be the most wealthy among us,and if you want honor by it, we will sway you over us so that we do not cut any matter without you, and if you want a king, we will give you control over us, and if this one that comes to you is a dream that you see: you cannot turn it away from yourself, we asked you for medicine, and we invested our money in it so that we would absolve you of it: the follower might have prevailed over the man until he was cured of it, even when Utbah is finished and the Messenger of God listens to him.
The Messenger of Allah
“Have you finished, O Abu Al-Walid?”
Utbah said
Yes
The Messenger of God said: “So listen to me.”
Utbah said: I do
The Messenger of Allah said:
«بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم:
{حم تَنزِيلٌ مّنَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ كِتَبٌ فُصّلَتْ ءايَتُهُ قُرْءانا عَرَبِيّا لّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ بَشِيرا وَنَذِيرا فَأَعْرَضَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ (فصلت:1 - 4)
“In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: {Hamem, download from the Merciful, the Most Merciful books whose verses are detailed, an Arabic Qur’an for a people who know good tidings and a warner, So most of them turned away, and they did not hear (Fussilat: 1-4). Then the Messenger of God went on to read it to him.
And listen to the verses so that we may take some verses from them to explain them
حمٓ ١ تَنزِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٢ كِتَٰبٞ فُصِّلَتۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ قُرۡءَانًا عَرَبِيّٗا لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣ بَشِيرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا فَأَعۡرَضَ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ ٤ وَقَالُواْ قُلُوبُنَا فِيٓ أَكِنَّةٖ مِّمَّا تَدۡعُونَآ إِلَيۡهِ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِنَا وَقۡرٞ وَمِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا وَبَيۡنِكَ حِجَابٞ فَٱعۡمَلۡ إِنَّنَا عَٰمِلُونَ ٥ قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ فَٱسۡتَقِيمُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوهُۗ وَوَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٦ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ٧ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونٖ ٨ ۞قُلۡ أَئِنَّكُمۡ لَتَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي يَوۡمَيۡنِ وَتَجۡعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٩ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ مِن فَوۡقِهَا وَبَٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقۡوَٰتَهَا فِيٓ أَرۡبَعَةِ أَيَّامٖ سَوَآءٗ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ١٠
{Hamem, download from the Merciful, the Most Merciful books whose verses are detailed, an Arabic Qur’an for a people who know good tidings and a warner, So most of them turned away, and they did not hear, And they said: our hearts are in sacks of leather of that for which you invoke, and in our ears there is deafness, And there is a veil between us and you, so work, verily we are working 5, say: I am only a human being like you, it has been revealed to me, “Your God is only one God, so stand upright to him and ask his forgiveness, and woe to the polytheists 6 Those who do not pay zakat and are in the Hereafter are disbelievers 7 verily, those who believe and do righteous deeds will have a reward unfailingly fraught with gratitude 8, say: Are you ye disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days, and you will make equals to Him? that is the Lord of the worlds 9, and He placed in it mountains from above it, and blessed it, And he ordained therein its provision over four days, alike to those who ask 10
Hamm: You are an expert that today our whole lives have turned overnight into symbols, so we say, for example, but not limited to (HSBC - WHO) or others, and just reading the symbols of international organizations that you know from mere letters, and the broken letters in the Qur’an, God Almighty knows what they symbolize. Perhaps they symbolize the existence of the Arabic language, perhaps they are symbols of certain places in heaven tomorrow, of course this is an attempt to bring the meaning closer.
The Qur’an is composed of the Arabic language in which they speak, yet most of them do not give themselves the opportunity to “hear” and said “their hearts are in a sheath and their hearing is deaf, and not only that, but between us and you is a wall” meaning that they have blocked all access to information for them, It is as if they want to say: So work from behind the wall, and we are working on the other side, then we will see who will win, then try to convince my mind with a reminder of the consequences, that He is one God and do not be one of the polytheists in Him and not pay money to the poor.
Allah says

Then he settled to the sky when it was smoke, and he said to her and to the earth: “Come both willingly or unwillingly.” they both said: He ordained them in seven heavens in two days, and He revealed its affair in each heaven, and We have beautified the lowest heaven with lamps and guards; that is the ordinance of the Almighty, the All-dear, the All-Knowing 12 and if they turn away, then say: “My warning to you is a thunderbolt like a thunderbolt.” Aad and Thamud 13 When the Messengers came to them from before their hands and from behind them, worship none but God, They said, "If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down angels, for we disbelieve in what you were sent with, as for A'ad, then they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said, “Who is more powerful than us? did they not see that God, who created them, was more powerful than them, and they denied Our signs 15 Send us upon them, the wind, the sizzle: The sound of the cold wind, on bad days, make them taste the torment of disgrace in this world's life, and the torment of the hereafter is much worse, and they will not be helped 6 And as for Thamud they were guided, so they preferred blindness over guidance, so I took them with a thunderbolt of the humiliating torment with what they earned 17 And We saved those who believed and were pious. 18 And on the Day the enemies of God will be gathered to the Fire, they will be distributed 19 until when they came to them, they testified against their hearing, their eyes, and their skins of what they used to do, They said to their skins: "Why did you testify against us, they said, “God who made all things speak to us, and He created you the first time, and to Him you shall be returned
Then he placed for him in the first ten verses of the beginning of the universe that he created the planet Earth in two days and then estimated its sustenance (food) for everyone on the planet of people, birds, beasts and others (four days) if you will - it is a high level statistic, Then he nourished the curiosity of the infidels with the knowledge of the completion of the beginning of life in its beginning, then ascended to the sky, which is a form of smoke, and spoke with the earth and the sky, and they agreed to obedience, not disobedience, as the infidels, and the word that the sky is smoke - this is a unique scientific expression - that is only known in our modern age - and that the sky is not one but another, and we only see the lowest heaven, then follow these cosmic manifestations (if they turn away) are they possible to object? yes, of course. They just said that there is a wall between you and us. We will not hear. We will not see. Nothing will enter the information processing outlets. Who are they? The majority and few of them are the ones who work their minds in speaking, If they turn away, warn them with a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of 'Ad and Thamud, and you are an expert that the Arabs love tales and legends, and few of them at that time were educated and knew the news of previous nations such as Waraka bin Nofal and others, because as Arabs, many of us like to speak exaggeratedly, which is a kind of lying, but who is truer than God in words - Glory be to Him - so he gives you the story (Aad and Thamud) from a highly credible point of view, then he mentions the consequences: that they are scattered in the fire, and the (information processing outlets) that they deny and work with will bear witness to them, One of the surprising things is that they asked about their skins, why did you testify against us, and we used to make mistakes for your sake, which is not surprising at the end of time, for you are expert that they spoke in the West about shoes and the stick that is placed in the hand, which is inanimate, Perhaps today or tomorrow they talk to their bodies through chips placed anywhere in the body, such as the ones they use today and keep passwords, bank account information and others on it.
Allah says

Verses 22 to 31
And you would not hiding that he testify against you, your hearing, nor your sight, nor your skins, but you thought that God does not know much of what you do 22 and that is your thought that you thought of your Lord: it destroyed you, so you became of the losers 23 And if they are patient, then the Fire is their abode, and if they reprimand, they are not of those who give admonition 24 Recruitment for their peers, so beautify to them what is between their hands and what is behind them, and they have the right to say the word about nations that have been created before them from the jinn and mankind, that they were evil 25 and those who disbelieved said, “Listen not to this Qur’an, and put in it idle talk: in it you may be victorious.” 26 so We will surely taste a severe chastisement to those who disbelieve, and we will surely requite them for the worst of what they used to do 27 that is the recompense of the enemies of God, the Fire. For them is the abode of eternity, as a recompense for what they did to you, and those who disbelieved said, “Our Lord, show us those who have led us astray from the jinn and mankind, we make them under our feet, so that they may be among the lowest. 29 those who said, “Our Lord is God,” and then went straight, the angels will descend upon them, do not be afraid, nor grieve, and rejoice in the Paradise that you were promised 30 We are your guardians in the life of this world and in the hereafter, and you will have in it what yourselves desire, and you will have in it what you call 31.
They say (The most false hadith is conjecture)
meaning that not all mere doubt brings facts. It is not because you do not imagine that these skins will speak that this will not happen. Rather, it will happen as long as the god of heaven said, then a reminder of the consequences (the fire - there is no reprimand but only loss: We ask God's well-being) and each of them became an invalid companion from Satan, who embellishes their deeds for them, and loss was written for them and their demons, and listen to the words of the infidels: Do not listen to this Qur’an, and if you hear someone reciting it, make a loud noise with false sayings that are of no benefit to distract people from listening to the Qur’an, why might it be in this victory for you, then the end in the fire, then those who disbelieve say, We want those above us from those who led us astray and directed us to a direction that leads to the Fire, that we put them under our feet and trample on them, a kind of anger: anger to make them the lowest and not the highest, as we used to consider them to be the highest of the people, then usually the Qur’an speaks of another type of human being, The straight one, the angels descend upon them, and they are the opposite of others who have companions from the devils. It is said to them: do not be afraid for what you have left of this world, and that is the time of death, or be sad about what you are about to do, and perhaps this in this world is not the time of death only, as the natural person who enjoys good and moderate mental health does not think about the past or look at the future with a kind of fear and they remain present and as the West says (The power of now) The guardianship of the angels in this world and the hereafter includes honor and companionship, and you have what you desire or ask for. Perhaps someone said: He laughs loudly, what do we desire? Whatever we desire is in our hands, we created our paradise ourselves, This is something that you laugh at your poor and needy, it is true: perhaps, but what if fates played a role in it, an exchange of roles, meaning that you were the poor and the poor was you, was your speech going to be him? We are poor in things. We are not all rich in everything, even if a human being is designed as he wants (designer babies) of us who are poor in money - and among us who are poor in morals, and among us who are poor in physical health - and among us who are poor in mental health and others, Every beautiful person is higher than him in beauty, intellect, health and almost everything. You and I are poor in some things and rich in other things.
At the end of a simplified interpretation - of some of what Abu al-Walid heard -
that is not based on the opinions of the eminent jurists, let us see how Abu al-Walid interacted with it.
When Utbah (Abu Al-Waleed) heard it from him, he listened to it and put his hands behind his back, relying on them to listen to him. Then the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, ended in prostration from it and prostrated himself.
Then he said: O Abu al-Walid
you have heard what you and that have heard.
Utbah stood up to his companions
and they said to each other
We swear by God that Abu al-Walid came to you with a different face, so when he sat down to them they said: What is behind you, Abu al-Walid? He said: Behind me, I have heard a saying, by God, I have never heard the like of it, and by God, it is not poetry, magic, or fortune-telling, O people of Quraish, obey me and make it for me, Separate between this man and what is in it, leave him, for by God, they will be because of what he said, from which I heard great news, If the Arabs pour it, then you have sufficed it with others, and if it appears before the Arabs So his kingdom is your kingdom, his glory is your glory, and you were the happiest of people with him. They said: By God, he bewitched you, O Abu Al-Walid, with his tongue. He said: This is my opinion of him, so do what you like.
The commenting on the story
See this part of the scientific study ( be present)
The distraction is all around us. With so much information dumping at us at a million miles per hour, it's no wonder communication in relationships can suffer. When you're in a discussion with someone you really care about, whether it's your partner, a good friend, or your child, make sure you're free from distraction during your conversation. It allows you to focus on the conversation and really digest the discussion. Moreover, it helps in allowing you to be thoughtful and considerate in your interaction.
Communication in any personal or professional relationship is difficult. We have to commit to showing up and doing the work to make sure it's successful and thriving. Learning how to be a good listener plays a huge role in everyone's success, The next time you find yourself in a situation where you need attention, remember to validate it, be present, and respond thoughtfully. You will be amazed at how much better your interactions can be.
1 - Now: Look at the position of Abu Al-Waleed (Utbah bin Rabi’ah) with his hand behind his back while listening to the Qur’an, and listen and he did not speak a word for as long as the Messenger was reciting the Qur’an from Surat Fussilat. What do you understand from this position and this listening? He's a decent person first of all, He was attracted to the Qur’an, and was even astonished by its vocabulary and its elaborations on the side of some until he said to his people when he returned to them: this is not magic, fortune-telling or poetry, so he has a critical ear that listens and enthralls with poetry and other things, and has distinguished that this is not what I have heard before.
2- Note: that the Arabic Sulaiqa in the days of the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him: a sound Arabic Sulaiqa who understand the meanings of words without anyone explaining them to them like us, So the words fell from his heart and mind in place.
3 - As for the position of the Messenger of God: a summit in respect for the other: in his saying (say, listen, O Abu Al-Waleed - then: you have finished, O Abu Al-Waleed), if Utbah bin Rabi’ah listened to the Messenger of God, The Messenger of God preceded him in this respect for the other, where is this from today's speculations, insults, loudness of voice and other things?
4 - See: The Messenger of God did not find a better conversation than the Qur’an to convince Abu Al-Waleed (Utbah bin Rabi’ah) with it. Why? Perhaps the Messenger of God knew from his conversation and the way he bargained at first that it entered him from a purely mental entrance and at the end of his talk he said to him (So hear from me, I offer you matters that you will consider, perhaps you will accept some of them from us) So the Messenger of God understood that he is a rational person and loves one who appreciates his intellect, so he did not find words more rational than the words of God Almighty.
5- Now: What is your ruling on Aba Al-Waleed? Is he a good listener? What do you think of his standing and raising his head to hear?
The second story
Quraysh
When the Quraish saw that the Messenger of God had rejected what they offered him, they said to him:
O Muhammad, if you do not accept anything from us from what we have offered you, then you have known that there is no one among the people who has the narrowest country, nor the least water, nor the most abundant life than us, so ask your Lord, who has sent you, with what He has sent you, so that He may remove from us these mountains that have narrowed us down, and that He may simplify our country for us, and let him break for us rivers therein, like the rivers of Syria and Iraq, and let him send for us those who passed from our forefathers, and let him be among those of them who sends us: Qusay bin Kilab, He was an honest sheikh: so we ask them what you say is it true or false? If they believed you, and you did what we asked you, we would believe you, And we knew your status with God and that He sent you as a Messenger as you say.
The Messenger of God
He said: “What is this I have sent to you? I have come to you from God with what He sent me with, and I have conveyed to you what I was sent with. If you accept it, then it is your luck in this world and the hereafter, and if you return it to me, I will be patient with God’s command until God judges between you and me.”
Quraysh
They said: If you do not do this for us, then take it for yourself. Ask your Lord to send with you an angel who will believe you in what you say and take us back from you, and ask him to make for you gardens, palaces and treasures of gold and silver, It suffices you from what we see you wanting, for you go to the markets and seek a livelihood as we seek it so that we know your kindness and your status with your Lord if you are a messenger as you claim.
The Messenger of God
He said: “What is this I have sent to you? I have come to you from God with what He sent me with, and I have conveyed to you what I was sent with. If you accept it, then it is your luck in this world and the hereafter, and if you return it to me, I will be patient with God’s command until God judges between you and me.
They said
So drop the sky on us as you claim that if your Lord wills He will do it, then we will not believe in you unless you do it, so
the Messenger of God said:
“That is for God, if He wills, that He will do it to you, He will do it for you, they said: O Muhammad, what does your Lord know?
We will sit with you and ask you about
what we asked you about, and we will ask you what we ask, so he will come to you and teach you what we asked for, and he will tell you what he is doing in that, If we do not accept from you what you brought us, it has reached us, but this man teaches you in a place called: Al-Yamamah, he is called the Most Merciful, and we do not believe in the Most Merciful.
We have never apologized to you
O Muhammad, and by God, we will not leave you and you have not reached us until you have destroyed us, and their sayer said: We worship the angels, and they are the daughters of God, and they said: We will not believe in you until you bring God and the angels before, when they said that to the Messenger of God, he stood up from them, Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah bin Al-Mughirah bin Abdullah bin Omar bin Makhzoom, who is the son of his paternal aunt Atika bint Abdul Muttalib, stood with him and said: O Muhammad, your people offered you what they offered you and you did not accept it from them, then they asked you for themselves things by which they would know your status with God as you say, and they believe you and follow you, but you did not do, then they asked you to take for yourself what they know of your kindness to them and your status from God, and you did not, then they asked you to hasten for them some of what you feared them of the torment with, but you did not do it. Then he said to him: By God, I will never believe in you until you take a ladder to heaven and then ascend in it, and I look until you come to it, then you bring with you an instrument with four angels who testify to you that you are as you say, And by God, if I had done that, I would not have thought that I believed you. The Messenger of God would go to his family sad and sorry for what he had missed from his people when they called him, and for what he saw of their distance from him.
The commenting on the story
1 - Impossible demands, right? The strange thing is that God - the Most High - did not give Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, what they wanted. Why? Why did he not make for him a ladder to the sky to ascend to him or any impossible things that science did not reach at that time? The truth is we don't know exactly, but do you know that the Messenger of God has many miracles as the prophets - not at the time here - but for example, but not limited to (the splitting of the moon - news that the water level has decreased from the surface of the Dead Sea in Surat Al-Rum and others), except that God - the Most High - did not give his prophet miracle verses, perhaps for two reasons
Minds at that time cannot accommodate verses beyond their cognitive abilities, such as Felix's leap or others.
Part of the believers’ faith (belief in the unseen and only) and a belief that he will win, but not in all battles. Rather, it is necessary to wait and be patient, not over calamities, but rather to fulfill God’s promises to the true believers, and it is an act of worship just like prayer.
2 - Did you know that the greatest miracle of the Messenger of God is the Qur’an, the Almighty says (and strive hard against them with it) and also says (and when Our verses are recited to them with clear proofs, you will be known on the faces of those who reject you ۖ They almost defame those who recite to them Our verses ۗ...the Hajj)
You are an expert that today the whole West is based on ideas, rather it is based on the word war now, and great ideas gain from it and even modern civilizations are established on it. Andalusia and the West welcomed them, and the new Muslims entered the morals of traders Now the name of the Muslim is heard associated with the terrorist because we have moved from action to reaction, we have moved from teachers to learners, from spreading the scientific word in all fields to the bottom of the field, we as Muslim Arabs are about 3% of scientific publications for the whole world, Will the future come with what the past started with? God willing (Al-Basri - Dawood Al-Antaki and others: pioneers of yesterday)
We end up with two things
We justify with Hope We are distressed, otherwise distress will come, and the breath will be seized
If you want to know what has passed, look at what is to come, for things are similar.
