اُردوEn
عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ الدَّيْلِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ رَابِعٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا لَهَبٍ بِعُكَاظٍ وَهُوَ يَتْبَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ غَوَى فَلَا يُغْوِيَنَّكُمْ عَنْ آلِهَةِ آبَائِكُمْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى أَثَرِهِ وَنَحْنُ نَتْبَعُهُ وَنَحْنُ غِلْمَانٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ أَحْوَلَ ذَا غَدِيرَتَيْنِ أَبْيَضَ النَّاسِ وَأَجْمَلَهُمْ
(Fourth Chain) Sayyiduna Rabi’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw Abu Lahab in ‘Ukaz while he was following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and saying: “O people! This man has gone astray himself and wants to lead you astray from the gods of your forefathers.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would run ahead of him, but he would catch up behind him. We boys would also walk along with him. It is as if I am still looking at Abu Lahab—he was squint-eyed, had two braids, was the whitest in complexion among the people, and the most handsome.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Abu Lahab was the paternal uncle of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. His name was Abd al-Uzza bin Abd al-Muttalib and his kunyah was Abu Utbah. Due to the beauty and radiance of his face, he was called Abu Lahab, meaning "the one with flames."
