"[When the Prophet destroyed the idols of Mecca] there came out from one of these two stones a grey haired black woman who was tearing at her face with her nails, naked, pulling at her hair and crying out in her woe. Asked about that, the Prophet said, âThis is NÄ Ă ila who has abandoned hope that she will ever be worshipped in your land again.â And it is said that the Devil (IblıÌs) cried out in woe on three occasions: once when he was cursed [by God] and his form was changed from that of the angels; once when he saw the Prophet standing in prayer in Mecca; and once when the Prophet conquered Mecca and the Devil said to his progeny who had gathered to him, âAbandon all hope that the community of Muh ammad will revert to shirk after this day of theirs.â"
