At Utbah, and Mrs. Umm Kulthum is at Otaiba, so when the revelation came to him, Abu Lahab and his wife said: Occupy Muhammad himself, and ordered their two sons to divorce. And soon they set up animosity towards the relative, rather they were among the fiercest people in enmity, and Abu Lahab and his wife (Umm Jamil), who was Arwa bint Harb bin Umayyah, the sister of Abu Sufyan, lived in a house adjacent to the Prophet, but they did not truly care for kinship and neighborhood, and they were not satisfied with their abandonment. On his victory, but his hostility and warfare, and strived to repel people from him, and from the hatred and ferocity of his wife, she carried branches of thorns at night, and placed them in the path of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who walks from him to his house to stumble or injure, and she used to repeat in the roads “reprehensible, we disobeyed, and his command is our father.” And his religion was few.”
