\nIt is understood from this statement that Abu Lahab was a rich, proud man who boasted about his wealth and used it against Islam. \n JazakAllah azwj! Please also share if there is any hadees explaining, what happened to Abu Lahab, after revealing of this Surah. \n t is narrated that after the defeat of the Meccans at Badr, Abu lahab, who had not participated in the battle, asked Abu Sufyan, when he returned from the battlefield, about its details.

\n Abu Sufyan described to him the event of how the Quraish were defeated and then, he added: \n “By Allah, we saw, in the course of battle, some riders between the earth and heaven who had come to help Muhammad”. \n Here, Abu Rafi’, one of the servants of Abbas tells the story thus: \n “I was sitting there and I raised my hand and said that they were the angels of Heaven. Then, Abu Lahab became so angry that he sharply struck my face and lifted me up and I fell hard upon the ground.

\n He continued beating me because of his grief from his disappointment. \n At that moment, Ummul-FadI, Abbas’ wife, who was attending there, took a stake and struck it hard on Abu Lahab’s head, and said: \n ‘Have you found this weak man alone?\u2019. \n The head of Abu Lahab became wounded and bloody. One week later he died from a contagious disease and since his body gave off an unbearable, foul smell no one approached it.

It was left for three days and at last, some slaves were hired to carry it out of Mecca. They watered it from a distance and then piled stones on top of it until it was buried.\u201d3 \nThis is Bihar al Anwaar reference not sure of it please check \n Bihar-al-Anwar, vol. 19, p.
