The proclamation on al-Safa
الصيحة على الصفا
c. 613 CE
Assured of Abu Talib's protection, the Prophet climbed al-Safa and cried 'Ya sabahah', gathering the clans of Quraysh; he warned them of a severe punishment ahead, named them clan by clan down to Fatima bint Muhammad, and Abu Lahab's 'Tabban laka' drew the revelation of surat al-Masad.
