Muhammad bin Isma’il Bukhari narrates in Sahih Bukhari:
When Abu Lahab died, someone from his household saw him in a dream and asked him how
he was. Abu Lahab replied, “After parting from you, I am not given any good or relief.
However, because I released Thuwayba (Abu Lahab’s slave), I get water every Monday from
the finger with which I pointed for her to go free and I feel some comfort”.
Abu Lahab released Thuwayba after hearing that his brother’s wife, Aaminah (Radiyallahu
Shaikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith-e-Dehlwi writes in ‘Madarij-un-Nubuwah’:
“Abu Lahab was a kaafir and he receives a reward for showing happiness at the birth of the
Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam). It is evident from this that the celebrators of the
Meelad Shareef are indeed performing a useful act. Abu Lahab was a kaafir and is rewarded
simply because he released a slave, then what a great reward it will be for that Muslim who
spends his wealth for the Meelad Shareef”.
Muhaddith ibn Juzri writes in ‘Zarqani Shareef’:
“When Abu Lahab, the kaafir, was rewarded for showing gratitude at the birth of the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) then what will be the merit of that believing Muslim who shows
immense love for the Meelad Shareef and also spends his wealth towards its enactment? I
swear by my life, his reward, by the eternal Mercy of Allah, will be that he will be entered
into heaven”.
