Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 7.133 Narrated by<br />

Aisha<br />

An Ansari woman gave her daughter in marriage and the hair of the latter started falling out. The Ansari<br />

women came to the Prophet and mentioned that to him and said, "Her (my daughter's) husband suggested<br />

that I should let her wear false hair." The Prophet said, "No, (don't do that) for Allah sends His curses upon<br />

such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially."<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 6.282 Narrated by<br />

Safiya bint Shaib<br />

'Aisha used to say: "When (the Verse): 'They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms,' was revealed, (the ladies)<br />

cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces."<br />

LAHAB:<br />

See Surah 111:<br />

111:1 – Perish the hands of the Father of Flame! Perish he! 6294<br />

6294 Abu Lahab, "Father of Flame", was the nick-name of an uncle of the holy Prophet, from his fiery hot temper and his<br />

ruddy complexion. He was one of the most inveterate enemies of early Islam. When the holy Prophet called together<br />

the Quraish and his own kith and kin to come and listen to his preaching and his warning against the sins of his<br />

people, the "Father of Flame" flared up and cursed the holy Prophet, saying "Perdition to thee!" According to the<br />

English saying, "the causeless curse will not come". His words were futile, but his power and strength were equally<br />

futile. The star of Islam rose higher and higher every day, and its persecuters dwindled in strength and power. Many of<br />

the leaders of persecution perished at Badr, and Abu Lahab himself perished a week after Badr, consumed with grief<br />

and his own fiery passions. Verse 3 was prophetic of his end in this very life, though it also refers to the Hereafter.<br />

(111.1)<br />

111:2 – No profit to him from all his wealth and all his gains!<br />

111:3 – Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of blazing Flame!<br />

111:4 – His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood as fuel! 6295<br />

6295 Abu Lahab's wife was a woman of equally passionate spite and cruelty against the sacred person of the holy Prophet.<br />

She used to tie bundles of thorns with ropes of twisted palm-leaf fibre and carry them and strew them about on dark<br />

nights in the paths which the Prophet was expected to take, in order to cause him bodily injury. "To carry firewood"<br />

may also be symbolical for carrying tales between people to embroil them. This was also one of her vices. But she<br />

was laying up for herself another kind of Fire and another kind of Rope, the Fire of Punishment, and the Rope of<br />

Slavery to Evil. Thus does Evil prepare its own fate. This is the general lesson of sustained craft and cruel wrongdoing<br />

recoiling on the wrong-doer's head. See also Introduction to this Sura. (111.4)<br />

111:5 - No profit to him from all his wealth and all his gains!<br />

111:6 - A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck!<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 6.293 Narrated by<br />

Ibn Abbas<br />

When the Verse: "And warn your tribe of near-kindred," was revealed, the Prophet ascended the Safa (mountain) and started<br />

calling, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani 'Adi!" addressing various tribes of Quraish till they were assembled. Those who could not come<br />

themselves, sent their messengers to see what was there. Abu Lahab and other people from Quraish came and the Prophet<br />

then said, "Suppose I told you that there is an (enemy) cavalry in the valley intending to attack you, would you believe me?"<br />

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<br />

of a terrific punishment." Abu Lahab said (to the Prophet) "May your hands perish all this day. Is it for this purpose you have<br />

gathered us?" Then it was revealed: "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab (one of the Prophet's uncles), and perish he! His wealth<br />

and his children will not profit him..." (111.1-5)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 6.506 Narrated by<br />

Jundub<br />

Once the Prophet fell ill and did not offer the night prayer (Tahajjud prayer) for a night or two. A woman (the wife of Abu<br />

Lahab) came to him and said, "O Muhammad! I do not see but that your Satan has left you." Then Allah revealed (Surat-Ad-<br />

Duha):<br />
