Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam saw them and said that 'O folk of Quraish! Stop doing this idol-worship and Shirk. Believe Allah Almighty the One'. Hearing this, the Impure (unholy) Waleed said to Abu Jahl 'O Abul Hukam! If you allow, I would make this person answerless and ashamed (We seek refuge in Allah against these words)'. Abu Jahl replied 'What otherwise would be better than this! Go ahead'. Then the Impure (unholy) Waleed stood up, lifted that idol on his shoulders, came near the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and said that 'O Muhammad ()! You say that your God is nearer to you than your jugular vein. See my god is seen touching my jugular vein. You show me your God nearer to your jugular vein as near as it is!' When the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam observed such sass and heard these stupid remarks, he kept silent. A burst of laughter roared amongst themselves and started idol worship again and started calling that idol laying their heads in prostration in front of it 'O lord and king! Help us in killing Muhammad()'. Then some couplets were heard from inside that idol which expressed complaint and lampoon and incitement them to kill the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and His Companions Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhum. Heartsick he was on this affair and returned from there. Ibne Masood Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhu says that 'I asked the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam on our back that O Hazrat! Did you heard that which that idol spoke'. The Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said 'Yes'. This is a Satan who enters idols and expresses complaints and lampoons against the Holy Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam and incites the Kuffaar for killing them Alaihimus-Salaam. No other Satan slanders and libels against the Holy Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam except this accursed one'.

Ibne Masood Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhu says that he was sitting before the blessed Prophet that an invisible visitor came and said 'Peace be upon you'. None was seen physically by us. The Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam replied the greetings and asked him if he was of the People of Heavens. He said 'No'. The he asked him if he was Jinn. He said 'Yes Sir! I am Jinn'. He enquired him the purpose of his arrival.

He said: I have come to know from my cousin that a Jinn namely Mash-ar has given disrespectful and offensive comments from inside an idol on the mount of Safa. I, therefore, came to take your revenge from him. I found him on the mount of Safa and ended his life with one blow and have saved Muslims against his mischief. I, very obediently and humbly, have arrived here to inform the Noble Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam. Please honor the Koh e Safa with your gracious visit when those Mushrikeen would be busy in doing its worship. I would enter the idol and express praise and respect for you and your religion in their presence so that they can be made ashamed and mortified'. The Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam asked him his name. He replied that his name was Mas-hah. The Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said 'if you wish, I would like to honor you with a name better than this name'. He said 'Yes! Please'. From today, your name is Abdullah. Ibne Masood Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhu reports that next morning, when they visited Koh e Safa, the Mushrikeen were worshipping that idol as usual. The Holy Prophet invited them to say Kalimah-e-Tauheed due to which their arrogance and insurgence sparked higher and they started begging that idol to curse and lampoon the Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and his religion. However, contrary to routine, when the Momin Jinn said couplets in the praise and exaltation of the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and his religion, they started burning in the fire of anger and broke that idol in to pieces with stones.

This Faqeer has man a times seen the Jinn near me in complete senses and wakeful condition. Often they bring their fellows who are ill and request to blow the air of my mouth on them after reading the Holy Words (which is also called Damm) and also they request to pray for fulfillment of their needs. Once the king of the creature of Jinn met this Faqeer. He was a young Jinn of good height and white complexion. I asked him his name and told me 'Mut-han-fa'.
