The brief B.O. the Prophet s.a.w. No.16.

اعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
My Dear Quran Lovers,
 In the First gathering which ended with quarel with Abi Lahab, there were kinsfolk of the Prophet s.a.w. who wanted the Prophet s.a.w. to hold another meeting but without Abi Lahab. He must not be told nor be invited to the next meeting. But the Prophet s.a.w. told and invited Abi Lahab to the next meeting. Abi Lahab was/is not only his s.a.w. paternal uncle but also the person who sent his slave girl, Thuwaibah who was breast feeding her baby to breast feed the then BabyMuhammad s.a.w..
 The meeting then took place at the foot of Mount. Shofa, not very far from the Caaba. The Prophet s.a.w. began his preaching with mentioning and acknowledging all wjho were present, one after another by their names and their descendants/clans including his s.a.w. own family members. He s.a.w. called them to believe in and to worship Allah s.w.t. the One and Only God and warned them to wary of the punishment of the Fiery Hell in the Hereafter. His s.a.w. advice was well-accepted by all of his s.a.w. kinsfolk and all were listening intensively and no one uttered a word. Then all of a sudden, Abi Lahab broke up the silence, scolding and mocking the Prophet s.a.w.. He shouted that all of them should not listen to the Prophet s.a.w. and that the Prophet s.a.w. should be put in the prison because he s.a.w. dared to humiliate the Religion of their ancestors.
  Then the Prophet's s.a.w. paternal aunt, Sofiyah binti Abd Muttalib spoke up loudly and courageously, " O my brother! It is not nice to snarl at our nephew, Muhammad. Is it not that in the past we were told that there will rise from our Quraisy kinfolk a Messenger who will convey messeges to us from Allah? And that promised Messenger is none other than our own Muhammad. Am I not right?" Abi Lahab was not calmed by those good words from his sister, but instead, it was like as if she had poured fuel to his anger. He swore at Sofiyah. Then turned to the Prophet s.a.w. and was attacking him s.a.w., Abi Tolib rushed out and caught hold of Abi Lahab's arms, said, "By Allah! I will and I am protecting Muhammad as long as I live.".
  Because that peaceful gathering became a "fighting arena", all were dispersed. Once again the meeting was being called off.
 Until we meet again in the next session, Insya Allah. See all of You Quran Lovers soon.
 Wassalamu alaikum w. w.
