﷽
300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ
Number 247.
Utba b. Rabi'ah's unbelieving heart trembled upon hearing the Messenger of Allah recite Qur'an.
• On one occasion, Utba b. Rabi'ah went to the Messenger of Allah to speak to him about
a recent revelation that that spoke against the pagan belief of his tribe. So, the Messenger
of Allah began to recite the chapter that begins "Ha Meem" [Qur‟an; Surah 41]. Utba could not bear to hear it and put his hand over the Messenger of Allah 's mouth, and begged him to stop. It is also reported that he listened, and in so doing he put his hands behind his back and leant on them until the Messenger of Allah reached the verse of prostration, whereupon the Messenger of Allah prostrated. Utba did not know how to deal with the situation and immediately got up, returned to his family and declined to go out to his tribesmen. His fellow tribesmen came to him and he apologized telling them, "By Allah, he recited some words to me, and by Allah, I have never heard anything like them; I just did not know what to say." [Qadi Iyaad, al-Shifa]
