Abu Jahl's plan to crush the Prophet's head with a stone

Abu Jahl announced that he would sit in wait for the Prophet with a stone to crush his head when he prostrated; when he drew near he saw a stallion camel barring his way and fled; the Prophet said it was Gabriel, who would have seized him had he come closer.
