It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rabi’ah bin ‘Abbad Daili (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Before migrating to Madinah Munawwarah, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that during the season of Hajj, he would go to the dwellings of people in Mina and say: O people! Indeed, Allah Almighty commands you to worship Him and not associate anything with Him. There would be a man behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who would say: This man is commanding you to abandon the religion of your forefathers. I asked: Who is the man behind? It was said: This is Abu Lahab.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rabi’ah bin ‘Abad (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: By Allah, I remember the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) very well, that he used to go to the people in Mina, while I was a young man at that time and would be with my father. There was a man following behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who had a handsome face, squinting eyes, and two braids. Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand before a group of people and say:“I am the Messenger of Allah. He commands you to worship Him and not associate anything with Him.”The man behind would say:“He is inviting you to abandon the religion of your forefathers, to leave Lat and ‘Uzza, and to forsake your allies from Banu Malik bin Uqaysh, and to adopt the innovation and misguidance he has brought.”I asked my father:“Who is this man?”He said:“This is the uncle of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Lahab ‘Abd al-‘Uzza bin ‘Abd al-Muttalib.”

Ash'ath narrates: An elder from Banu Malik bin Kinanah told me that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the market of Dhu al-Majaz, as he was moving through it and saying: "O people! Say Lā ilāha illallāh (There is no god but Allah), you will be successful." Meanwhile, Abu Jahl, throwing dust on himself, was saying, "O people! Do not let him deceive you about your religion; he wants you to abandon your gods and al-Lat and al-Uzza." But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) paid no attention to him. We asked that elder, "Describe for us the blessed appearance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing two red garments. He had a moderate height, a well-built body, a beautiful face, his hair was intensely black, his complexion was very fair, and his hair was thick."
