Our prophet was so very eager to convert the Pagan Arabs, and lead them to righteous acts and good morals. Almost all the Pagans were polytheists and some sort of an idolaters. They wanted the prophet to respect their idols instead of their acceptance of Islam and taking the prophet to their circle as a friend and intimate. They once asked the prophet, to leave at least one or two of their important idols unbroken, either the one called, ``HOBAL'' or that one which was erect on top of the hill, ``MARVEH''. Once a group of the tribe of SAGHIF asked the prophet to omit and violate the commandment of prostration and bowing down in daily prayers. In answer to them the prophet said:ِ
``There is no use in a prayer that consists not of prostration''
It was after revelation of the above verses that the prophet very often prayed to his Lord saying:ِ
``My Lord! Do not leave me to myself for a twinkle of an eye.''
