Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When this verse was revealed: "And warn your close relatives," in the recitation of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) these words are also present: "And among them, warn your sincere group." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out. He came to the hill of Safa. He climbed up and then called out, "Danger!" People gathered around him. Some came themselves, some sent their messengers. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: O Banu Abdul Muttalib! O Banu Fihr! O Banu Abd Manaf! O Banu (so-and-so)! O Banu (so-and-so)! What do you think, if I inform you that on the other side of this mountain there is an army that wants to attack you, will you believe me? They replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Then I am warning you of a severe punishment before it comes. Upon this, Abu Lahab said: May you perish forever! Did you call us only for this? Then he stood up (and left). And regarding this, the verse was revealed: "May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined." So he was ruined. However, the other people said: We have never experienced a lie from you.
