(2). 3349. Ibn ‘Abbās narrated: “The Prophet ﷺ was performing Ṣalāt when Abū Jahl came to him and said: ‘Have I not forbidden you from this? Have I not forbidden you from this? Have I not forbidden you from this?’ The Prophet ﷺ turned and scolded him. So Abū Jahl said: ‘You know that no one has more to call for assistance than me.’ So Allāh, Blessed is He and Most High, revealed: Then let him call upon his council. We will call out the guards of Hell.”[1] So Ibn ‘Abbās said: “By Allāh, if he had called his council, then the guards of Hell would have seized him.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
He said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīḥ, and there is something about it from Abū Hurairah [may Allāh be pleased with him].

Commentary
The meaning is that if a stubborn person stops someone from prostrating to Allāh, and threatens of his party being in majority; you should not be bothered with his threat; because none has the power to stop you from Allāh's cause; in case one dared to do so, you should seek Allāh's refuge from his evil.
