Musnad Ahmad 23864

Translation

✧ I was a slave of al-Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib. Islam had entered our household, so I became Muslim, and Umm al-Fadl became Muslim. Al-Abbas had become Muslim, but he feared his people and concealed his Islam. Abu Lahab, the enemy of Allah, had stayed behind from Badr and sent al-As b. Hisham b. al-Mughirah in his place. That is what they used to do; no man stayed behind except that he sent a man in his place. When the news came to us, Allah humiliated and disgraced him, and we found strength in ourselves.
