When the Verse:--'And warn your tribe of near-kindred, was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ ascended the Safa (mountain) and started calling, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani ʿAdi!" 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 ﷺ 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)

When the Verse:-- 'And warn your tribe of near kindred.' (26.214) was revealed. Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and when he had ascended As-Safa mountain, he shouted, "O Sabahah!" The people said, "Who is that?" "Then they gathered around him, whereupon he said, "Do you see? If I inform you that cavalrymen are proceeding up the side of this mountain, will you believe me?" They said, "We have never heard you telling a lie." Then he said, "I am a plain warner to you of a coming severe punishment." Abu Lahab said, "May you perish! You gathered us only for this reason? " Then Abu Lahab went away. So the "Surat:--ul--LAHAB" 'Perish the hands of Abu Lahab!' (111.1) was revealed.

" And warn thy nearest kindred" (and thy group of selected people among them) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set off till he climbed Safa' and called loudly: Be on your guard! They said: Who is it calling aloud? They said: Muhammad. They gathered round him, and he said: O sons of so and so, O sons of so and so, O sons of 'Abd Manaf, O sons of 'Abd al-Muttalib, and they gathered around him. He (the Apostle) said: If I were to inform you that there were horsemen emerging out of the foot of this mountain, would you believe me? They said: We have not experienced any lie from you. He said: Well, I am a warner to you before a severe torment. He (the narrator) said that Abu Lahab then said: Destruction to you! Is it for this you have gathered us? He (the Holy Prophet) then stood up, and this verse was revealed:" Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and he indeed perished" (cxi. 1). A'mash recited this to the end of the Sura.

[Machine] When Allah revealed the verse "And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred" [Surah Ash-Shu'ara: 214], the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ went to Mount Safa, climbed it, and called out, "O Sabahah!". The people gathered around him, including a man who would come to him and another man who would send his messenger. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O sons of 'Abdul-Muttalib! O sons of Fihr! O sons, O sons! If I were to inform you that there are horses at the foot of this mountain, would you believe me?" They said, "Yes." He then said, "I am a Warner to you before a severe punishment." Abu Lahab said, "May you perish for the rest of this day! Did you gather us only for this?" Then Allah revealed the verse "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab and perish he!" [Surah Al-Masad: 1].

[Machine] When the verse {And warn your closest relatives} was revealed, along with your tribe among them, the sincere ones, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emerged until he reached Mount Safa. He ascended it and called out, "O Sabahah!" People gathered around him, and there was a man coming and a man being sent as a messenger between them. He ﷺ said, "O sons of Abd al-Muttalib, O sons of Fihr, O sons of Abd Manaf, O sons of sons! Would you believe me if I told you that there are horses at the foot of this mountain that are about to charge at you?" They said, "Yes." He ﷺ said, "Well, I am warning you of a severe punishment that is about to descend upon you." Then Abu Lahab said, "Perish you for the rest of the day! Did you gather us here just for this?" He then stood up, and the verse {Perish the hands of Abu Lahab} was revealed, and it was affirmed. They said, "We have not seen you lying."
