Hadith No: 406
Narrated/Authority of Ibn Abbas
when this
verse was revealed:" And warn thy nearest kindred" (and thy
group of selected people among them) the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) set off till he climbed Safa' and
called loudly: Be on your guard! They said: Who is it calling
aloud? They said: Muhammad. They gathered round him, and he
said: O sons of so and so, O sons of so and so, O sons of 'Abd
Manaf, O sons of 'Abd al-’Muttalib, and they gathered around
him. He (the Apostle) said: If I were to inform you that there
were horsemen emerging out of the foot of this mountain, would
you believe me? They said: We have not experienced any lie
from you. He said: Well, I am a warner to you before a severe
torment. He (the narrator) said that Abu Lahab then said:
Destruction to you! Is it for this you have gathered us? He
(the Holy Prophet) then stood up, and this verse was
revealed:" Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and he indeed
perished" (cxi. 1). A'mash recited this to the end of the
Sura.
