The Wife Of Abu Lahab (Umm Jamil)
The Primary representative text w.r.t Occasion of Revelation of Surah Abu Lahab can be found in a number of Hadith books and it relates to one event, but the narrations along with their chain of narrators and and the content contained in them have been critically studied by Dr. Shehzad Saleem with the conclusion “ The questions raised on the text and chain of narration of this narrative render it unacceptable “. The details can be found at: Discussion 56269 It needs to be understood that in case of a Rasool, people who turn into extreme enmity (‘ muanideen ‘)are bound to be punished in this world and in the hereafter as well. The same was done to six specific people who were captured in Badar, in Uhad and at the time of conquest of Mecca, few names were not given general clemency and were ordered to be killed. They were all ‘ muanideen ‘ and, Abu-Lahab and his wife, being the leaders and close relatives of the Prophet, were running a whole campaign to slander the Prophet (sws) and spread wrong information against Him. Disrespectful poetry was one part of it, it is the whole behavior that counts, not just the poetry. And it is this constant behaviour of extreme enmity due to which they were categorized as ‘ muanideen ‘ and after itmam-e-hujjah on them, their prophecy of destruction was revealed.
