نقل شده است که ابوجهل از اطرافیان خود سوال کرد: آیا محمّد در میان شما نیز (برای سجده) صورت به خاک می‌گذارد؟ گفتند: آری. گفت: سوگند به آنچه ما به آن سوگند یاد می‌کنیم» اگر او را در چنین حالی ببینم» با پای خود گردن او را له می‌کنم. به او گفتند: ببین» او در آنجا مشغول نماز خواندن است. ابوجهل حرکت کرد تا گردن پیامبر را زیر پای خود بفشارد؛ ولی هنگامی که نزدیک رفت.ء در حالی که گویی با دستش چیزی را از خود دور می‌کند» عقب‌نشینی کرد. به او گفتند: این چه وضعی است در تو می‌بینیم؟ گفت: ناگهان میان خودم و او خندقی از آتش و منظرة وحشتناکی دیدم و همچنین بال و پرهایی را مشاهده کردم. پیغمبر([ص) فرمود: «قسم به کسی که جانم در دست اوست. اگر به من نزدیک شده بود. فرشتگان خدا عضو عضو او را می‌ربودند.»
