Ibne-‘Abbas Radiyallahu ‘anhuma narrates that when Allah revealed this verse: "وَ أَنْذِر عَشِيرتكَ الأَقْرَبين" “Warn your close relation” (26:214) Nabi Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam climbed the mount Safa and called loudly: O people! The enemy is going to attack by dawn. So everyone gathered near him; some came themselves, some sent their representatives. Then Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: O Banu ‘Abdul Muttalib, O Banu Fihr, O you of such and such tribe! Tell me if I give you the news that there is a cavalry behind the mountain ready to charge at you; would you believe me? All of them replied: Yes! He said: So indeed I am a warner for you, about a terrible punishment before it comes. Abu Lahab reacted: May you be perished, forever? Did you call us only for this? At this, Allah ‘Azza wa Jall revealed Surah Al Masad: تبّت يَداَ أبي لهبِ وّتبّ (Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he). (Musnad Ahmad, Al-Bidaya-wan-Nihaya)
