صحيح مسلم 7065

Abu Huraira reported that Abu Jahl asked (people) whether Muhammad placed his face (on the ground) in their presence. It was said to him:Yes. He said: By Lat and `Uzza. If I were to see him do that, I would trample his neck, or I would smear his face with dust. He came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he was engaged in prayer and thought of trampling his neck (and the people say) that he came near him but turned upon his heels and tried to repulse something with his hands. It was said to him: What is the matter with you? He said: There is between me and him a ditch of fire and terror and wings. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: If he were to come near me the angels would have torn him to pieces. Then Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse- (the narrator) said: We do not know whether it is the hadith transmitted by Abu Huraira or something conveyed to him from another source: "Nay, man is surely inordinate, because he looks upon himself as self-sufficient. Surely to thy Lord is the return. Hast thou seen him who forbids a servant when he prays? Seest thou if he is on the right way, or enjoins observance of piety? Seest thou if he [Abu Jahl] denies and turns away? Knowest he not that Allah sees? Nay, if he desists not, We will seize him by the forelock-a lying, sinful forelock. Then let him summon his council. We will summon the guards of the Hell. Nay! Obey not thou him" (lcvi, 6-19). (Rather prostrate thyself.) Ubaidullah made this addition: It was after this that (prostration) was enjoined upon and Ibn Abd al-Ala made this addition that by "Nadiyah" he meant his people

Rapporté par Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه : Abu Jahl demanda aux gens si Muhammad posait son visage au sol devant eux. On lui répondit : « Oui. » Il dit : « Par Lat et 'Uzza, si je le vois faire cela, j’écraserai son cou ou je salirai son visage de poussière. » Il s’approcha du Messager d’Allah ﷺ alors qu’il priait, voulant lui marcher sur le cou, mais il recula soudain, repoussant quelque chose de ses mains. On lui demanda : « Que t’arrive-t-il ? » Il répondit : « Il y a entre moi et lui un fossé de feu, de peur et d’ailes. » Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ dit alors : « S’il s’était approché de moi, les anges l’auraient mis en pièces. » Puis Allah, le Très-Haut, révéla ce verset : « Non, l’homme devient insolent parce qu’il se croit autosuffisant. Mais vers ton Seigneur est le retour. As-tu vu celui qui interdit à un serviteur de prier ? S’il est sur la bonne voie ou ordonne la piété ? S’il dément et tourne le dos ? Ne sait-il pas qu’Allah voit ? Non, s’il ne cesse pas, Nous le saisirons par le toupet, un toupet menteur et pécheur. Qu’il appelle donc son assemblée : Nous appellerons les gardiens de l’Enfer. Non ! N’obéis pas à cet homme… » (Sourate Al-‘Alaq, 6-19). (Après cela, la prosternation fut prescrite)
