Dealing with Abu Lahab

“Abu ‘Abdillah (as) has said that when Quraysh decided to murder the Prophet (sw), they said, ‘How do we deal with Abu Lahab?’ Umm Jamil said, ‘I will keep him occupied and ask him to remain with me until morning.’ When it was morning, the pagans prepared themselves against the Prophet (sw). Abu Lahab and his woman woke up and they were drinking.
Abu Talib (as) called Ali (as), and said, ‘Son, go to your uncle Abu Lahab and ask him to open the door; if he responds then go inside his home: but if he does not respond, then force the door to break it. Go inside and say to him, “My father says to you, ’If a man’s uncle is his eye (master) among the people, he is not humiliated.'’ He said that ‘Amir al-Mu’minin (as) went and found the door locked. He then forced the door, broke it and went inside. When Abu Lahab saw him he asked, ‘What has happened to you, O son of my brother?’ He responded with what his father said,’If a man’s uncle is his master (eye) among the people, he is not humiliated.’ He said, ’Your father has spoken the truth. What is happening, O son of my brother?’ He replied, ‘The son of your brother is being killed but you are eating and drinking.’
He then jumped and took his sword but Umm Jamil held him back. He raised his hand and slapped her face, which made her eye pop out. She later died one-eyed. Abu Lahab went out with his sword. When Quraysh saw him, they found anger on his face. They asked, ‘What is the matter with you, O Abu Lahab?’ He said, “I pledged allegiance with you against the son of my brother and you want to kill him! I swear by al-Lat and al-’Uzza; I am thinking of becoming Muslim, then you will see what I will do!’ They apologized and he returned.’”
