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 to the Prophet (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 coming, he said: "O Messenger of Allah! She is an extremely foul-mouthed woman, and I fear that she will hurt you; so would it not be better if you left this place?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She will never see me." So she came and said: "O Abu Bakr! Your companion has satirised me in verse." He replied: "He does not compose poetry." At this she said: "You are truthful in my view," and she went back. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) related: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Did she not see you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An angel kept screening me from her with his wings the whole time."
