“I have met your people as they are, and the worst of it was the day of ‘Aqabah as I had an audience with Ibn ‘Abd Yalil ibn ‘Abd Kulal. He did not respond as I had hoped, so I departed with grief upon my face. I could not recover until I reached Qarn al-Tha’alib, then I raised my head to behold a cloud shading me. I looked again to behold the Angel Gabriel within it, calling out to me, ‘Verily, Allah has heard what your people said to you and their response. He has sent the Angel of the Mountains for you to command as you wish regarding them.’ The Angel of the Mountains called out to greet me with peace, then he said, ‘O Muhammad, speak as you wish. I will crush them under two mountains if that is your desire.’ I said, ‘No, rather I hope Allah will bring out from their progeny those who would worship Allah alone without associating any partners with Him.”
