Volume 6 Book 60 Hadith 496

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 496:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet went out towards Al-Batha’ and ascended the mountain and shouted, “O Sabahah!” So
the Quraish people gathered around him. He said, “Do you see? If I tell you that an enemy is going to
attack you in the morning or in the evening, will you believe me?” They replied, “Yes.” He said, “Then
I am a plain warner to you of a coming severe punishment.” Abu Lahab said, “Is it for this reason that
you have gathered us? May you perish ! ” Then Allah revealed: ‘Perish the hands of Abu Lahab!’
