[Machine] I remember accompanying my father, a young man, as he looked upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . There was a man following the tribes, and behind him was a more handsome and bright man with long hair. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in front of the tribe and said, "O son of so-and-so, I am the Messenger of Allah to you. I command you to worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, to believe in me and support me until I fulfill what Allah sent me with." After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished speaking, the man behind him said, "O son of so-and-so, he wants you to abandon worshiping Lat and Uzza and your allies from the tribe of Bani Malik bin Uqaysh, and to adopt the innovations and misguidance he brought. Do not listen to him or follow him." So I asked my father, "Who is this?" He said, "His uncle, Abu Lahab."
إِنِّي لَمَعَ أَبِي رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَتْبَعُ الْقَبَائِلَ وَوَرَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ أَحْوَلُ وَضِيءٌ ذُو جُمَّةٍ يَقِفُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْقَبِيلَةِ فَيَقُولُ يَا بَنِي فُلَانٍ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُمْ آمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَأَنْ تُصَدِّقُونِي وَتَمْنَعُونِي حَتَّى أُنْفِذَ عَنِ اللهِ مَا بَعَثَنِي بِهِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَقَالَتِهِ قَالَ الْآخَرُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَا بَنِي فُلَانٍ إِنَّ هَذَا يُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَسْلُخُوا اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى وَحُلَفَاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْحَيِّ بَنِي مَالِكِ بْنِ أُقَيْشٍ إِلَى مَا جَاءَ بِهِ مِنَ الْبِدْعَةِ وَالضَّلَالَةِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوهُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ عَمُّهُ أَبُو لَهَبٍ
