فغلبهم عليك من بين قريش الامهم حسبا واخبثهم منصبا واعظمهم بغية، ثم قمت خطيبا وقلت انا شانئ محمد، وقال العاص وائل: ان محمد رجل ابتر لا ولد له، فلو قد مات انقطع ذكره، He overcame upon you from among Quraysh, the most illiterate one in rank, and the most wicked one in lineage, and the greatest of them in immorality.

Then you stood to address, and you said, ‘I am an adversary of Muhammad -saww !’, and (your father) Al Aas Al Waily said, ‘Muhammad -saww is a man without posterity, and if he -saww were to die, his -saww mention would be cut off’.

فأنزل الله تبارك وتعالى: ان شأنك هو الابتر وكانت امك تمشى إلى عبد قيس تطلب البغية، تأتيهم في دورهم ورحالهم وبطون اوديتهم Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed: Surely your adversary, he is the one without posterity [108:3] , and it was so that your mother walked to (clan of) Abd Qays seeking the immorality, coming to them in their houses, and their rides, and middle of their valleys’’.
