(And when they said: O Allah! If this be indeed the truth from Thee…) [8:32-33].
The Commentators of the Qur’an said: “This was revealed about al-Nadr ibn al-Harith who said: ‘[O Allah!] If what Muhammad says is true, then rain down stones on us’ ”.
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ja‘far informed us> Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hakam> Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub al-Shaybani> Ahmad ibn al-Nadr ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab> ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Mu‘adh> his father> Shu‘bah> ‘Abd al-Hamid, the companion of al-Ziyadi who heard Anas ibn Malik saying: “Abu Jahl said: (If this be indeed the truth from Thee, then rain down stones on us or bring on us some painful doom!) and so this was revealed (But Allah would not punish them while thou wast with them)”. This was narrated by Bukhari from Ahmad ibn al-Nadr and by Muslim from ‘Abd Allah ibn Mu‘adh.
