Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّ أَبَا جَهْلٍ، قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّا لاَ نُكَذِّبُكَ وَلَكِنْ نُكَذِّبُ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ إِِنَّهُمْ لاَ يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَلَكِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ ‏)‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا جَهْلٍ، قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ ‏.‏
"Abu Jahl said to the Prophet (ﷺ): 'We do not deny you, but we deny what you came with.' So Allah Most High revealed: It is not you that they deny but is Allah's Ayat which the wrong-doers reject (6:33)."
Narrated by Narrated 'Ali:

Context

This hadith recounts a statement made by Abu Jahl to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), denying the message without denying the Prophet himself. This led to a revelation emphasizing that the rejection was not of the Prophet but of Allah's signs, illustrating the challenges faced by the Prophet (ﷺ) in conveying the message.

Modern Application

In today's context, this hadith highlights the importance of recognizing and accepting the truth, even when it challenges personal beliefs. It serves as a reminder to critically evaluate one's stance towards faith and divine signs.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prophetic Warning and Rejection of Truth because it addresses the denial of divine signs and the challenges faced by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
