Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the chapter 'Al-Ghafir' was revealed to the Prophetﷺ and he recited it sitting near the holy Ka'aba. Waleed bin Al-Mughira listened to it carefully and entered to a place where the people of Banu Makhzoom thronged. He said, I am just coming after hearing the verses recited by Muhammad ﷺ. what can I say ?!. Poetry, goblin verse, etc., any branch of literature in the Arabic language surrender before me more than you. By God, the sayings of Muhammad ﷺ bear no similarity to any of them. Those words have an amazing sweetness. A special grace. It's branches and twigs are fruitful and its roots are deeply rooted in fertile soil. It is better than all words. Of course nothing can defeat it. Undoubtedly it will surpass all that come on it's way.Waleed said this and walked away.
This became a debate among the Quraish. They said that Waleed had become a Sabie or converted. If Waleed, who was famous as 'the fragrance of the Quraish', converted, the whole of the Quraish might convert. Abu Jahl intervened. I will manage that crisis.
Abu Jahl came to Walid's house pretending sorrow. He started saying, "O uncle, the Quraish, are accumulating wealth to hand over to you. You must convince people that the innovations of Muhammad ﷺ are pure nonsense.
He said, "Don't the Quraish know that I am very rich." Abu Jahl said, "Anyway, you can disagree on this matter." Waleed said, "What can I say? The words of Muhammadﷺ are not the words of men or Jinns." Let me think!
Waleed faced the people.. It is Hajj season is nearing in Mecca. People will start arriving here from all over the country. Naturally, they will inquire about the person (Muhammad ﷺ) who appeared here. Then opinion of the everyone of us about Muhammad ﷺ should be same. If there are too many opinions people will not believe. So what do we say? They said you say it yourself Waleed. No, you tell me, I'll listen.
Some people said, 'What about a fortune teller?
Waleed: by God , it is not true, there is no sign of astrology in Muhammadﷺ. some peopleh said .it is madness.
Waleed: We have seen madmen, and there is no sign of it here.
Some said: What if we say, a poet?
Waleed. We know the metre, rhetoric, imagination and structure of the poem very well. Then what to accuse ?
Some people said: then we can say that he is a black magician.
Waleed: It is not sorcery. There is no blowing or knot in it.
Then he told the features of the holy Qur'an and continued like this. The only possible allegation we can raise agaist him is 'sorcery'. Because here fathers, children and family members engage in conflict in the name of this belief. So we can accuse him as a sorcerer as he causes rift among family members. All agreed and parted for the time being.
