4648. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Ḥadīṭ Abū Jahl said, “O Allāh! If this (the Qur’ān) is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky, or bring on us a painful torment.” So Allāh revealed : “And Allāh would not punish them while you (Muḥammad ﷺ) are amongst them, nor will He punish them while they seek (Allāh’s) forgiveness. And why should not Allāh punish them while they hinder (men) from Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām (at Makkah)...” (V.8:33,34)
