Abdul Muttalib -asws said...
Abdul Muttalib -asws said: ‘I -asws am the lord of the camels, and for this House (Kabah), there is a Lord -azwj , Protecting it’.
He -asws passed by the elephant during his -asws leaving, and he -asws said to the elephant: ‘O Mahmoud!’ The elephant moved its head. He -asws said: ‘Do you know why they have come with you?’ The elephant said with its head, ‘No’. So, Abdul Muttalib -asws said: ‘They came with you in order to demolish the House of your Lord -azwj . Do you see yourself doing that?’ It said with its head, ‘No’. Abdul Muttalib -asws left to go to his -asws house’.
But it refused and prevented upon them. So Abdul Muttalib -asws said to one of his -asws friends during that: ‘Ascend to the top of the mountain and look if you can see anything’. He said, ‘I see blackness from the direction of the sea’. He -asws said to him: ‘Do you visualise all of it?’ So he said to him -asws , ‘No, I can almost see it’. When it was nearer, he said, ‘There are a lot of birds and I do not understand it.
Every bird has a pebble in its beak like a flicking pebble, or smaller than a flicking pebble’.
