2 - قال: أخبرني أبو محمد [بن] عبد الله بن أبي شيخ إجازة قال: أخبرنا أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد الحكيمي قال: حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله أبو سعيد البصري قال: حدثنا وهب بن جرير، عن أبيه قال: حدثنا محمد بن إسحاق بن يسار المدني قال: حدثنا سعيد بن مينا، عن غير واحد من أصحابه: أن نفرا من قريش اعترضوا لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله منهم عتبة بن ربيعة، وأمية بن خلف، والوليد بن المغيرة، والعاص بن سعيد فقالوا: يا محمد هلم فلنعبد ما تعبد، وتعبد ما نعبد، ونشترك نحن وأنت في الأمر، فإن يكن الذي نحن عليه الحق فقد أخذت بحظك منه، وإن يكن الذي أنت عليه الحق فقد أخذنا بحظنا منه، فأنزل الله تبارك وتعالى: " قل يا أيها الكافرون * لا أعبد ما تعبدون * ولا أنتم عابدون ما أعبد " إلى آخر السورة، ثم مشى إليه أبي بن خلف بعظم رميم ففته بيده ، ثم نفخه فقال: يا محمد أتزعم أن ربك يحيي هذا بعد ما ترى؟ فأنزل الله تعالى: " وضرب لنا مثلا ونسي خلقه، قال من يحيي العظام وهي رميم * قل يحييها الذي أنشأها أول مرة وهو بكل خلق عليم  " إلى آخر السورة. 

2. He said: Abu Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abu Sheik reported to me with permission to report from Abu Abdillah Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Hakimi, who reported from Abdul Rahman ibn Abdillah Abu Saeed al-Basri, who reported from Wahab ibn Jareer, from his father, who reported from Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasar al-Madani, who reported from Saeed ibn Meena, from more than one companions, that: A group of Quraish comprising of Utbah ibn Rabeeah, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, Waleed ibn al-Mughaira and al-Aas ibn Saeed once confronted the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, saying: "O Muhammad, let us compromise, so that we worship what you worship, and you worship what we worship, and thus both of us come to an equitable word in this matter. If the truth is with us, you will have shared it, and if the truth is with you, we will have our share from it." So Allah revealed (unto the Prophet): ’Say, O unbelievers! I do not worship what you worship; nor do you worship what I worship; nor do I worship what you have worshipped, nor do you worship what I worship. You have your religion and I have mine.’ (al-Kafirun,109)" Then once Ubay ibn Khalaf came with withered bones and crushed them in his hands. Then blowing it up, he said: "O Muhammad, do you claim that your Lord will give life to what you now see?" Then Allah revealed (unto the Prophet): ’And he produced an equal for Us, forgetting Our creating him; he said: Who brings the bones back to life, once they are withered? Say: He who originated them the first time will bring them back to life, and He has knowledge of every creation.’ (Yasin, 36:36); till the end of the Surah."
