message: The translation is precise but not as accurate as one would wish it. Unless there are objections I wish to replace it with a better translation which I will post here for approval (two week silence is approval). Angrynight 17:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The claim that Mohammad never told a lie in his life is pure conjecture and strikes me as being too strong. The following is the statement in question "The People responded that they would, since Muhammad had never told a lie in his life." How can we be sure that he never has told a lie, and what is a definition of a lie anyway? I would recommend replacing it as follows: "The People responded that they would, since Muhammad was known to be honest." Honest can be replaced with "extremely honest" or "truthful" or any other term that can indicate that he was a person of high moral standing to satisfy everyone in question. It just strikes me that "never told a lie in his life" would be hard to prove.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.182.56.5 (talk) 21:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Ibn Sa'd renders this: "We have never found you telling a lie," i.e., it's the subjective (and probably hyperbolic) impression of the audience, not an objective fact (http://www.soebratie.nl/religie/hadith/IbnSad.html#Book 48.4).Petra MacDonald 22:57, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

text: In similar vein, I think we should avoid such unprovable statements as "Allah wrote ..." The neutral "It was written ..." is factual; it does not deny Allah's authorship, nor does it affirm it.Petra MacDonald 23:48, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

message: How can anyone know what happened to Abu Lahab after his death?! Just because some collection of Hadith gloats about how Abu Lahab is being tortured after death doesn't mean that we can make it a basis of a whole Wikipedia section on Abu Lahab. Also, the section is question is written by someone that is obviously lacks objectivity, since it includes the statement "our beloved prophet Muhammad"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.182.56.5 (talk) 22:40, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any problem with a statement such as, "Muhammad claimed that the dead Abu Lahab was now in Hell," & etc. The prophecies are a standard part of the Islamic tradition. There must be a way we can incorporate the tradition, as it is a neutral fact that Muhammad claimed this.Petra MacDonald 02:38, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Could an expert in this field clarify in this article what Abū Lahab's likely religious beliefs and/or affiliations were?  He may have been standing for an earlier religion of the Quraysh tribe or Mecca region.  This article depicts him only as standing against the new Islam. The article about the Quraysh describes them as polytheistic without further specifics. -- econterms (talk) 19:46, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Almost everyone in Mecca worshipped the standard Arabian pantheon, and there is nothing to show that Abu Lahab was an exception. His original name, Abdul-Uzza, indicates that his parents were devotees of the goddess al-Uzza. The religion of a person who lived in Mecca before 610 is only interesting if it can be shown not to have been Arabian polytheism.Petra MacDonald (talk) 08:15, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
