قال: فشعر هو؟ قال: لا، أما إني قد سمعت أشعار العرب بسيطها و مديدها و رملها و رجزها و ما هو بشعر، قال: فما هو؟ قال: دعني أفكر فيه. So they went to Abu Jahl and said, ‘O Abu Al-Hakam! Abu Abd Al-Shams has aspired to the Religion of Muhammad -saww .
Have you not seen that he never returned to us?’ The next day Abu Jahl went to Al-Waleed and said to him, ‘O uncle, you have lowered our heads and exposed us, our enemies are gloating over us, and you have aspired to the Religion of Muhammad -saww !’ So he said, ‘I have not aspired to his -saww Religion, but I heard from him -saww such difficult speech which shivered the skin’. Abu Jahl said to him, ‘He -saww was preaching?’ He said, ‘No.
A sermon is a continuous speech, this was a prose speech, and there is no resemblance to each other’. He said, ‘It was poetry ?’ He said, ‘No. But I have heard the poems of the Arabs, their simple ones, and their prolonged ones, and battle slogans, and whatever poems which they recited’. He said, ‘So what was it?’ He said, ‘Leave me. I want to ponder over it’.
