English Translation
Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was praying when Abu Jahl came and forbade him from praying. So Allah the Most High revealed: 'Let him call his associates; We will call the angels of Hell.' Ibn Abbas said: 'Had he done so, the angels of Hell would have seized him.'
