The descent of Jibril and the Angel of the Mountains, peace be upon them both.

Then Allah, glory be to Him and Exalted is He, sent Gabriel, peace be upon him, to His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:37
And with him was the angel of the mountains, peace be upon him, seeking his command.
0:42
The two Shaykhs, al-Bukhari and Muslim, recorded it in their respective Sahih collections.
0:45
On the authority of the Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
0:49
She said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:53
Has there ever come upon you a day more difficult than the day of Uhud?
0:58
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:02
I have endured at the hands of your people what I have endured.
1:05
The most difficult experience I endured at their hands was on the day of al-'Aqabah.
1:09
When I presented myself to Ibn 'Abd Yalil ibn 'Abd Kulal.
1:14
So he did not respond to what I desired.
1:17
So I set off, deeply troubled and aimless.
1:20
I did not regain my senses until I found myself at Qarn al-Tha'alib.
1:24
I then raised my head.
1:26
Then, suddenly, I found myself beneath a cloud that had cast its shadow over me.
1:30
I looked, and there was Gabriel, peace be upon him.
1:33
He called out to me and said:
1:35
Allah has indeed heard what your people said to you and how they responded to you.
1:40
The Angel of the Mountains has been sent to you, so that you may command him to do whatever you wish regarding them.
1:46
Then the angel of the mountains called out to me.
1:48
He then greeted me with peace and said,
1:51
O Muhammad
1:52
He then said
1:54
That is as you wish.
1:56
If you wish, I could crush them between the two mountains.
2:00
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
2:03
Rather, I hope that Allah will bring forth from their loins those who will worship Allah alone.
2:09
And that you do not associate anything with Him.
2:12
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:
2:14
So, how do we reconcile this?
2:16
And he clarified what Allah the Almighty stated in this noble verse.
2:20
“Say: If I had that for which ye are impatient, then would the case (ere this) have been decided between me and you. Allah is Best Aware of the wrong-doers.” (6:58)
2:26
“Say: If I had that for which ye are impatient, then would the case (ere this) have been decided between me and you. Allah is Best Aware of the wrong-doers.” (6:58)
2:29
And Allah knows best concerning the wrongdoers.
2:33
The answer, and Allah knows best, is as follows:
2:35
That this verse
2:37
This indicates that if the punishment they were demanding were to befall them, it would have occurred.
2:42
Regarding their pursuit of it.
2:44
so that he might inflict it upon them.
2:46
As for the hadith
2:47
It does not contain any indication that they asked for the punishment to befall them.
2:52
Rather, he even offered them the angel of the mountains.
2:54
That is, if Allah wills.
2:56
He brought the two mountains down upon them.
2:58
These are the two mountains of Makkah that flank it from the south and the north.
3:04
For this reason, we sought their company and asked for gentleness to be shown toward them.
3:11
The entry of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, into Makkah under the protection of al-Mut'im Ibn 'Adi.
3:18
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, returned to Makkah.
3:23
And his people were at the peak of their opposition and hostility toward him.
3:27
He entered it under the protection of al-Mut'im Ibn 'Adi.
3:31
And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not forget.
3:34
This is the favor [attributed] to Mut'im Ibn 'Adi.
3:37
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said on the day of Badr
3:41
If al-Mut'im Ibn 'Adi were still alive
3:45
Then he spoke to me regarding these people of ours.
3:48
I would have left them for his sake.
3:50
Imam al-Dhahabi said:
3:52
And he was al-Mut'im Ibn 'Adi.
3:54
He is the one who stood up to annul the document of boycott.
3:58
He would show compassion toward the people of the valley and support them in secret.
4:02
He is the one who granted protection to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
4:06
When he returned from Ta'if
4:08
until he performed the tawaf for his 'umrah.
4:10
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar stated in Al-Fath.
4:13
His statement, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
4:16
I would have left them for his sake.
4:17
