Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair narrates that when { تَبَّتْ یَدَا أَبِی لَہَبٍ } was revealed, Abu Lahab’s wife came to the Prophet ﷺ while Abu Bakr was with him. Hazrat Abu Bakr said, “O Messenger of Allah! She will harm you.” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “A veil will be placed between me and her.” Thus, she did not see him. She said to Hazrat Abu Bakr, “Your companion has made us angry.” He replied, “By Allah, he neither composes poetry nor recites poetry.” She said, “You are right,” and then she left. Hazrat Abu Bakr asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Did she not see you?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “An angel remained between me and her, concealing me, until she left.”
