Also, it is related through an authentic narration from Abu Bakr the Veracious that after the Sura about Abu Lahab(*^[1])had been revealed, his wife, “Hammalat al- Hatab” (the wood carrier) Umm Jamil, came to the Ka‘ba with a stone in her hand. She saw Abu Bakr, who was sitting beside the Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace), and asked him, “Where’s your friend? I hear that he mocked me. If I see him, I will hit him in the mouth with this rock.” She could not see God’s Messenger (UWBP), although he was sitting beside him.(*^[2])Of course, a wood-carrier of Hell like that could not enter the presence of “the Sultan of Lawlak,”(*^[3])who was under divine protection, and see him. How could she?
