Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لَنَا الصَّفَا ذَهَبًا وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ قَالَ وَتَفْعَلُونَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَعَا فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَصْبَحَ لَهُمْ الصَّفَا ذَهَبًا فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ عَذَّبْتُهُ عَذَابًا لَا أُعَذِّبُهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ الْعَالَمِينَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَحْتُ لَهُمْ بَابَ التَّوْبَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ قَالَ بَلْ بَابُ التَّوْبَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ.
English Translation
The Quraysh said to the Prophet (peace be upon him): 'Ask your Lord to turn al-Safa into gold for us and we will believe in you.' He said: 'And you will do so?' They said: 'Yes.' So he prayed, and Jibril came to him and said: 'Your Lord sends you peace and says: If you wish, I will turn al-Safa into gold for them, but whoever disbelieves after that, I will punish him with a punishment that I have not inflicted on anyone in all creation. Or if you wish, I will open for them the door of repentance and mercy.' He said: 'Rather, the door of repentance and mercy.'
