Lions arrived

Listen to one more parable describing another miracle of the Holy Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم and the blindness of the inner being of Abū Jaĥl. Since the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم called people towards righteousness, the unbelievers of Quraysh became his enemy and were hurting him in many different ways.

The Holy Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم once went to Ḥajūn valley. Intending to use this opportunity, one of his enemies, named Naḍr stepped forward to martyr him. As he approached the Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم Naḍr got frightened, turned around at once and rushed towards the city. Abū Jaĥl, seeing the entire scene, asked its reason. He replied, “Today I followed Muhammad (صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم) to murder him. When I approached him, I saw some lions coming towards me with their mouths open growling and grinding their teeth so there was no way to escape other than running away.” Despite listening to such a great miracle, the unfortunate Abū Jaĥl said, “It is also the magical trick of Muhammad (صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم).”
