Secrets of Revelation
May Abii Lahab’s hands break and may he perish! His real name was ‘Abdul ”
“Uzzah, a son of Hadhrat ‘Abdul Mutlib. Since his complexion was reddish, hecame to be known as Abii Lahab. (lit: Father of Flame), He vehemently opposed
the Holy Prophet” and so Allah proclaims him a dweller of the Hell by name.
His fortune availed him not. He developed an uncurable blister, awfully stinking,
and died of it in quarantine. The overwhelming stench did not allow anyone to get
near his corpse so that it could be buried. Thus the house he lived in was caved
down on his dead body. His wealth and his possessions did not benefit him in
anyway, His wife will also enter the blazing Hell with him. She used to spread
thoms on the path likely to be taken by the Holy Prophet*” and will be yoked in
Hell with a collar made of twisted palm fibres.
