[1] Abu Kabsha is said to be the husband of Halimah, the Prophet’s wet-nurse. Accusing the Prophet of madness Because the Prophet (a.s.) came with a new law unlike the habits and traditions of Quraysh, they accused him of madness, though he was the most knowledgeable of all mankind. They accused him of madness to frustrate his mission and prevent the public from following him and embracing his mission.

However, they failed and the mission moved like light and reached all peoples and nations of the world. Some men from Quraysh mocked at the Prophet (a.s.) and strove to tease and harm him, but Allah the Almighty ordered him to be fixed and not to pay attention to them.

Allah revealed to him, (Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers).[1] Those men ran after the Prophet (a.s.) and mocked at him, but he raised his voice reciting, ‘in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful’ and they went back. Then, this verse was revealed to him, (and when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’an, they turn their backs in aversion).[2] Here, we mention the men who mocked at the Prophet (a.s.): 1.

Al-Waleed bin al-Mughirah Al-Waleed bin al-Mughirah was excessive in harming and mocking at the Prophet (a.s.). However, Allah avenged on him. A fragment from an arrow of a man from Khuza’ah hit him and cut his hand artery and he died while saying, “The god of Muhammad has killed me.” 2. Al-Aas bin Wa’il The Prophet (a.s.) suffered too much from this man’s harming and mocking, but Allah afflicted him that one day a rock fell on him and killed him. [1] Qur'an, 15:95. [2] Qur'an, 17:46. 3.

Al-Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth He scorned and mocked at the Prophet (a.s.) and at his companions. Whenever he saw the Prophet (a.s.), he said to him mockingly, “Have you been talked to by the heaven today?” He said when he saw the Prophet’s companions, “The kings of the earth have come!” He said that because the Prophet’s companions were with poor clothes and their living was very simple. One day, he and his servant went to receive his son. He sat in the shadow under a tree.

Gabriel took his head and beat it against the tree. He asked his servant for help saying to him, “Protect me from this!” The servant said to him, “I can see no one.” Then, he cried out loudly, “The god of Muhammad has killed me.” 4. Al-Harith He was one of those who scorned at the Prophet (a.s.). One very hot day, he left his house to somewhere. His face turned black.
