[508] 355 - (208) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "When this Verse was revealed: "And warn your tribe of near kindred", (And gather from them the sincere)[1] the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went out and climbed Aṣ-Ṣafâ, (mountain) then he called out: 'Yâ Ṣabâhâh (Be on your guard)!'. They said: 'Who is this that is calling out?' They said: 'Muḥammad.' They gathered around him, and he said: 'O Banû So-and-so! O Banû So-and-so! O Banû 'Abd Manâf! O Banû 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib!' They gathered around him and he said: 'Do you think that if I told you that there was a cavalry emerging from the foot of this mountain, you would believe me?' They said: 'We have never known you to be a liar.' He ﷺ said: 'I am a warner to you of an imminent and severe punishment.' "Abû Lahab said: 'May you perish! Did you call us together only for this?' Then he stood up, and this Sûrah was revealed: (Perish the two hands of Abû Lahab. And indeed he has perished!)[1] This is how Al-A'mash (a narrator) recited it, until the end of the Sûrah.

355 - (208) وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ} [الشعراء: 214] وَرَهْطَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ، خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الصَّفَا، فَهَتَفَ: «يَا صَبَاحَاهْ»، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَهْتِفُ؟ قَالُوا: مُحَمَّدٌ، فَاجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا بَنِي فُلَانٍ، يَا بَنِي فُلَانٍ، يَا بَنِي فُلَانٍ، يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ، يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ»، فَاجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ لَوْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ أَنَّ خَيْلًا تَخْرُجُ بِسَفْحِ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ، أَكُنْتُمْ مُصَدِّقِيَّ؟» قَالُوا: مَا جَرَّبْنَا عَلَيْكَ كَذِبًا، قَالَ: «فَإِنِّي نَذِيرٌ لَكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ»، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ: تَبًّا لَكَ أَمَا جَمَعْتَنَا إِلَّا لِهَذَا، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَقَدْ تَبَّ، كَذَا قَرَأَ الْأَعْمَشُ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ،
