Going Back Home After the Hajj
Muslim has reported from Al-'Ala bin Al-Hadrami that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "A pilgrim from abroad may stay
for three (days) after completing his Hajj."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 5085
Narrated by
Ali ibn Umar ibn Husayn ibn Ali
The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying: Do not go out much when there are few people about , for Allah the
Exalted scatters abroad of His beasts in that hour (according to Ibn Marwan's version). Ibn Marwan's version has: For Allah
has creatures. He then mentioned the barking of dogs and braying of asses in a similar manner. He added in his version: Ibn
al-Had said: Shurahbil ibn al-Hajib told me on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah from the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon
him) similar to it.

Allah's Apostle took an oath for abstention from his wives (for one month), and during those days he had a sprain in his foot.

Maududi Sura Introductions
Surah 111. Al-Lahab
See Section
Although the commentators have not disputed its being a Makki Surah, yet it is difficult to determine in which phase of the
life at Makkah precisely it was revealed. However, in view of Abu Lahab's role and conduct against the Holy Prophet's
message of Truth, it can be assumed that it must have been revealed in the period when he had transgressed all limits in his
mad hostility to him, and his attitude was becoming a serious obstruction in the progress of Islam. It may well have been
revealed in the period when the Quraish had boycotted the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) together with the people of
his clan and besieged them in Shi'b Abi Talib, and Abu Lahab was the only person to join with the enemies against his own
relatives. The basis of this assumption is that Abu Lahab was the Holy Prophet's uncle, and public condemnation of the uncle
by the tongue of the nephew could not be proper until the extreme excesses committed by the uncle had become visible to
everyone. If the Surah had been revealed before this, in the very beginning, the people would have regarded it as morally
discourteous that the nephew should so condemn the uncle.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 6.293 Narrated by
Ibn Abbas
When the Verse: "And warn your tribe of near-kindred," was revealed, the Prophet ascended the Safa (mountain) and started
calling, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani 'Adi!" addressing various tribes of Quraish till they were assembled. Those who could not come
themselves, sent their messengers to see what was there. Abu Lahab and other people from Quraish came and the Prophet
then said, "Suppose I told you that there is an (enemy) cavalry in the valley intending to attack you, would you believe me?"
They said, "Yes, for we have not found you telling anything other than the truth." He then said, "I am a warner to you in face of
a terrific punishment." Abu Lahab said (to the Prophet) "May your hands perish all this day. Is it for this purpose you have
gathered us?" Then it was revealed: "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab (one of the Prophet's uncles), and perish he! His wealth
and his children will not profit him..." (111.1-5)
111:1 - Perish the hands of the Father of Flame! Perish he! 6294
111:2 - No profit to him from all his wealth and all his gains!
111:3 - Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of blazing Flame!
111:4 - His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood as fuel! 6295
