When Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words, “And warn your tribe (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) of near kindred'' (ash-Shu'ara 26:214), the Prophet (ﷺ) went to as-Safa and climbed it, then he called out, "Ya sabahah!" (a cry of alarm). The people gathered around him; some men came themselves, and others sent envoys (to find out what was happening). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “O Banu Abdul-Muttalib, O Banu Fihr" and so on (calling each clan). “Do you think that if I told you there was a cavalry at the bottom of this mountain, wanting to attack you, would you believe me?” They said: Yes. He said: “I am a warner to you ahead of a severe punishment." Abu Lahab said: May you perish for the rest of the day! Did you call us only for this? Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet) and perish he!” (al-Masad 111:1).
