Abu Lahab
ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib (Arabic: عبد العزى ابن عبد المطلب), better known as Abū Lahab (Arabic: أبو لهب, lit. 'Father of the Flame'; c. 549–624 CE) was the Islamic prophet Muhammad's half paternal uncle. He was one of the Meccan Quraysh leaders who opposed the Prophet and was condemned in Surat Al-Masad of the Quran.
Abu Lahab was born in Mecca in c. 549 CE, the son of Abdul Muttalib, chief of the Hashim clan, and the paternal uncle of Muhammad. He was thus a paternal half-brother of Abdullah, father of Muhammad. His mother, Lubna bint Hajar, was from the Banu Khuza'ah. People from the Banu Khuza'ah were the caretakers of the Kaaba for several centuries before the Quraysh took over the responsibility through their ancestor Qusayy ibn Kilab.
Abu Lahab was also related to Muhammad as half-uncle in another way, since Muḥammad's grandmother was Fāṭimah bint ‘Amr of the Banu Makhzūm. They lived next door to Muhammad and shared walls with his house.
His original name was 'Abd al-'Uzzā, meaning slave/devotee of the goddess al-ʿUzzā. But his father called him Abū Lahab "Father of Flame" "because of his beauty and charm" due to his red (inflamed) cheeks. He is described as "an artful spruce fellow with two locks of hair, wearing an Aden cloak" and as "very generous".
He married Arwā Umm Jamīl bint Harb, sister of Abu Sufyān (Sakhr), whose father Ḥarb was chief of the Banu Umayyah. Their children included Utbah, Utaybah, Muattab, Durrah (Fakhita), ʿUzzā and Khālida. Abu Lahab had another son, also named Durrah, who may have been born by another woman.[citation needed] He may also have been the father of Masruh, a son born to his slave Thuwaybah.
His daughter Durrah embraced Islam and became a narrator of Hadīth. One is in Ahmad’s Musnad, where she reports that a man got up and asked the Islamic prophet Muhammad, "Who is the best of the people?" He answered, "The best of the people is the most learned, the most godfearing, the most to be enjoining virtue, the most to be prohibiting vice and the most to be joining the kin."[citation needed]
‘Utbah also embraced Islam after the conquest of Mecca and pledged allegiance to Muḥammad.
When Muhammad announced that he had been instructed by Allah to spread the message of Islam openly, the Quran told him to warn his kinsfolk about divine punishment. He therefore climbed Mount Ṣafā and shouted: "Yā ṣabāḥah!" which means, "O [calamity of] the morning!". In Arabia, this alarm was traditionally raised by any person who noticed an enemy tribe advancing against his own tribe at dawn.
