مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2008
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: Abu Talib fell sick; Quraish came to visit him, as did the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).There was a place by his head for a man to sit, and Abu Jahl went and sat there. They said: The son of your brother is riticizing our gods. He said: Why are your people complaining about you? He said: "O uncle, I want them to affirm one word by means of which the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay the jizyaii to them." He said: What is it? He said: "La ilaha illallah ." They stood up and said: Has he made the gods all into One God? Then the verse " 'Has he made the alihah (gods) (all) into One ilah (God - Allah). Verily, this is a curious thing!"' [Sad 38:5] was revealed.
