Sayyidina Ibn Abbas reported that Allah’s Messenger ascended the Safa (mountain) one day. He called, “0 Sabahah.” The Quraysh gathered towards him. He said, “I am a warner to you to warn you of a sever chastisement. What do you say if I inform you that the enemy is likely to come up to you by morning or by evening, will you believe me?” Abu Lahab exclaimed, “Is this for which you called us May you break your hands.” So, Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted revealed:
Perished are the hands of Abu Lahab and perished is he. (111 :1)
