| Abu Jahal had hidden some stones in hand
Asked: �tell me what it is Ahmad (saw)� If thou art Prophet tell me what is in my hand Thou who claim to know the secrets of heaven Hazrat Muhammad (saw) had replied: state thy wish I must tell or they tell themselves what they are Abu Jahal said the 2nd option sounds more interesting God indeed has absolute power Hazrat Muhammad (saw) replied He added you have six pieces of stone in your hand Now listen clearly as each praise of God do chant Evidently each stone held in his hand at once Began to recite �Kalma Shadat� in response Proclaimed with reverence: There is no God but God And Hazrat Muhammad (saw) is His Prophet When Abu Jahal heard stones proclaiming faith He threw them on floor full of disbelief and wrath No sorcerer is greater than you on earth he said Thou art but the king of magicians and wizard Abu Jahal the jealous that miracle did witness He returned to home full of woe and bitterness He had chosen his way other than truth The unfortunate soul doomed for a ditch |
