Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Ibn Abza said to me, “Ask Ibn ‘Abbas regarding the Statement of Allah:
‘And whoever murders a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell.’ (4.69)
And also His Statement: ‘…nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause …..except
those who repent, believe, and do good deeds.’ ” (25.68-70) So I asked Ibn ‘Abbas and he said, “When
this (25.68-69) was revealed, the people of Mecca said, “We have invoked other gods with Allah, and
we have murdered such lives which Allah has made sacred, and we have committed illegal sexual
intercourse. So Allah revealed:
‘Except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’
(25.70)

he said, “It was revealed concerning the pagans,’

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 293:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When the Verse:–‘And warn your tribe of near-kindred, was revealed, the Prophet ascended the
Safa (mountain) and started calling, “O Bani Fihr! O Bani ‘Adi!” addressing various tribes of Quraish
till they were assembled. Those who could not come themselves, sent their messengers to see what
was there. Abu Lahab and other people from Quraish came and the Prophet then said, “Suppose I
told you that there is an (enemy) cavalry in the valley intending to attack you, would you believe
me?” They said, “Yes, for we have not found you telling anything other than the truth.” He then said,
“I am a warner to you in face of a terrific punishment.” Abu Lahab said (to the Prophet) “May your
hands perish all this day. Is it for this purpose you have gathered us?” Then it was revealed: “Perish
the hands of Abu Lahab (one of the Prophet’s uncles), and perish he! His wealth and his children will
not profit him….” (111.1-5)

vealed and said, “O Quraish people! (or he said a similar word) Buy yourselves! I cannot save you
from Allah (if you disobey Him) O Bani Abu Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey
Him). O ‘Abbas! The son of ‘Abdul Muttalib! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him) O
Safiya, (the aunt of Allah’s Apostle) I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him). O Fatima, the
daughter of Muhammad ! Ask what you wish from my property, but I cannot save you from Allah (if
you disobey Him).”

When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah’s Apostle came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl
and Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah’s Apostle said, “O uncle! Say: None has the right
to be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah.” On that Abu
Jahl and ‘Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, “Will you now leave the religion of ‘Abdul Mut –
talib?” Allah’s Apostle kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on repeating
their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, “I am on the religion of
‘Abdul Muttalib,” and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. On that Al –
lah’s Apostle said, “By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah’s forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden
(by Allah) to do so.” So Allah revealed:–
‘It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgive –
ness for pagans.’ (9.113) And then Allah revealed especially about Abu Talib:–‘Verily! You (O,
Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will.’ (28.56)
