Apathy (L-2790)

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱمْشُوا۟ وَٱصْبِرُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمْ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ يُرَادُ 6
مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِى ٱلْمِلَّةِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَٰقٌ 7 |

6. The notables among
them announced: “Go on, and hold fast to your gods. This is something
planned. 7.
We never heard of this in the former faith. This is nothing but a
fabrication. |
Before
descending these verses, it happened that when Abu Talib was sick, Abu
Jahal including some others who were leaders of Quraish, came and
began to say to Abu Talib: Your nephew Muhammad (ﷺ) insults us and our gods. Cause him to understand that he should
refrain from such matters.
Messenger (ﷺ) said: O uncle! I invite them that if they read this word and work according to it; then entire people of Arab will accept them and they will be famous in the entire world. After hearing these words they became very happy and said: it will be very good if it happens. What is that Word? We are ready to read ten words like this, on the condition that if it happens. Messenger of God Almighty commanded: لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله "Laa Ilaaha IllAllaahu Muhammadur RasuulUllaah" {There is none worthy of worship but God, Muhammad is Messenger of God (ﷺ)}. They were displeased, stood up and said: Stop it! It is against the common sense that we all leave our old known gods and believe in your One Unknown God. Obviously you are desirous to establish your own Empire by our help.
After that their senior people began to say to one another as it has been mentioned in these verses: Let’s go! As they have come to a stand-still position, we too should stand-still in favor of our gods. He (ﷺ) desires to lead us and become our chieftain. Our forefathers did never inform us as he has been saying. It seems that he (ﷺ) has fabricated it himself.
