حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الطُّوسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ : تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي لَهَبٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّهَا امْرَأَةٌ بَذِيَّةٌ وَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُؤْذِيَكَ ، فَلَوْ قُمْتَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهَا لَنْ تَرَانِي ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، صَاحِبُكَ هَجَانِي ، قَالَ : وَمَا يَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ ، قَالَتْ : أَنْتَ عِنْدِي مُصَدَّقٌ وَانْصَرَفَتْ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَمْ تَرَكَ ، قَالَ : لَمْ يَزَلْ مَلَكٌ يَسْتُرُنِي مِنْهَا بِجَنَاحِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the surah "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab" was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) saw her, he said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! She is a foul-mouthed woman, and I fear that she will harm you; if only you would get up from here." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She will never see me." So the woman came and said (to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)): "O Abu Bakr! Your companion has satirised me (in verse)." He replied: "He does not compose poetry." She said: "You are truthful in my eyes," and she went back. I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Did she not see you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An angel kept screening me from her sight with his wing."
