36. WIFE OF ABU LAHAB COULD NOT SEE HOLY PROPHET
When Surah Lahab was revealed, Abu Lahab and his wife ‘Umm-e-Jameel’ were condemned. As a result, Umm-e-Jameel became furious and lost her self-control. She came to the sacred Ka’bah bringing a huge stone. At that time, the Beloved and Blessed Prophet was reciting the Holy Quran in Salah and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq was sitting nearby. Umm-e- Jameel reached grumbling and came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq whilst passing by the Holy Prophet. She said out of extreme anger, ‘Tell me where your Prophet is? I have come to know that he has belittled me and my husband.’ Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq said, ‘My Prophet is not a poet who would ridicule others.’ She became more furious, roamed around the Ka’bah in search of the Holy Prophet whilst chattering and murmuring nonsense.
Finally, when she could not see the Holy Prophet she left from the sacred Haram grumbling. Whilst leaving, she said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq ‘I came here to trample the head of your Prophet with this rock, but alas, I could not find him.’ When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq mentioned this event to the Noble Prophet he said, ‘She
passed by me many times, but an angel came between me and her in such a way that she could not see me.’ The following verse of the Holy Quran was revealed in relation to this event.
And you read the Quran O dear Prophet (Muhammad), We created an invisible veil between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter.
Moral:
Umm-e-Jameel, regardless of looking with full wide open eyes, could not see the Holy Prophet despite passing by him again and again. Undoubtedly, this is an unusual happening and it is definitely a miracle of the Holy Prophet Such miracles were exhibited by the Great Prophet many times and there are several Walis (friends) of Allah from whom similar miraculous marvels are exhibited. Marvels exhibited by a Wali of Allah are in fact the miracles of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool because a marvel (Karamat) by any Wali of Allah is actually a miracle of his Prophet.
