[Machine] "And by Allah, I remember when he (i.e. Prophet Muhammad) would go around the houses in Mina, and I was a young boy with my father. Behind him was a man of handsome face, with thick curly hair, wearing two green garments. Every time the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would stop at a group of people, he would say: 'I am the Messenger of Allah, commanding you to worship Him alone and not associate anything with Him in worship.' And the man behind him would say: 'Verily, he is calling you to abandon the religion of your forefathers, to abandon Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and your allies from the Banu Malik bin Uqaysh, and what he has brought of innovation and misguidance.' So I asked my father, 'Who is this?' He said, 'This is his uncle, Abu Lahab, the slave of Al-Uzza, son of Abdul-Muttalib.'"

ahmad:16025ʿAbdullāh b. Aḥmad

[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."

[Machine] Indeed, I witnessed alongside my father a young man who was looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was leading the tribes, and behind him was a man who looked older and had a radiant face with a prominent lock of hair standing behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in front of the tribe and said, "O sons of so-and-so, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to you, I command you to worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, and that you believe in me and support me until I fulfill what Allah has sent me with." When he finished his speech, the man behind him said, "O sons of so-and-so, he wants you to abandon your idols, such as Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, and your allies from the people of Bani Malik bin Uqaysh, and to abandon the innovations and misguidance that he has brought. So do not listen to him or follow him." So I asked my father, "Who is this?" He said, "This is his paternal uncle, Abu Lahab."
