عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ} قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّفَا فَصَعِدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ نَادَى يَا صَبَاحَاهْ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ بَيْنَ رَجُلٍ يَجِيءُ وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ يَبْعَثُ رَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَا بَنِي فِهْرٍ يَا بَنِي لُؤَيٍّ أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ أَنَّ خَيْلًا بِسَفْحِ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُغِيرَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَدَّقْتُمُونِي قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنِّي نَذِيرٌ لَكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ)) فَقَالَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ تَبًّا لَكَ سَائِرَ الْيَوْمِ أَمَا دَعَوْتَنَا إِلَّا لِهَذَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ}
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, he says: When Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And warn your close relatives," the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to the hill of Safa and, having climbed it, called out: "Ya Sabahah!" So people gathered around him, some came themselves and some sent their messengers. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O Banu Abdul Muttalib! O Banu Fihr! O Banu Lu'ayy! What do you think, if I were to inform you that there is an army at the foot of this mountain intending to launch a sudden attack on you, would you believe me?" They said: "Yes." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Then I am a warner to you before a severe punishment." Upon hearing this, Abu Lahab said: "May you perish for the rest of the day! Did you call us together for this purpose?" At this, Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!"

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The truthfulness of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was well-established, but when he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke this word of goodness, their obstinacy overcame them.

Abu Lahab and his wife—both were unfortunate; their destruction has been mentioned in Surah Lahab.

Abu Lahab was the worst enemy of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; he was always intent on causing harm, inflicting pain, and bringing loss. Please refer to the next chapter.

In this world, the destruction of this wretch occurred in such a way that a few days after the Battle of Badr, he contracted a disease called ‘adsiya, in which a swelling appears similar to the plague. He died from this very illness. His corpse remained lying for three days, until it became extremely foul-smelling. Eventually, out of fear of the disease spreading and the shame, his sons buried him by throwing stones and earth from a distance over his body.
