A man named Rabia bin Abbad, from the tribe of Banu al-Dil, who had lived in the days of ignorance, told me, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ during the days of ignorance at the market of Dhu al-Majaz, saying, 'People, say there is no god but Allah and you will succeed.' The people were gathered around him, and behind him was a bright-faced man, cross-eyed, with two long braids, who kept saying, 'He is an apostate and a liar,' following him wherever he went. I asked about him, and they told me the lineage of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to me, 'This is his uncle, Abu Lahab.'"
أخبرني رجل يقال له: ربيعة بن عباد من بني الديل، وكان جاهليا. قال: رأيت النبي ﷺ في الجاهلية في سوق ذي المجاز وهو يقول: يا أيها الناس، قولوا: لا إله إلا الله تفلحوا والناس مجتمعون عليه، ووراءه رجل وضيء الوجه أحول ذو غديرتين يقول: إنه صابئ كاذب، يتبعه حيث ذهب، فسألت عنه، فذكروا لي نسب رسول الله ﷺ وقالوا لي: هذا عمه أبو لهب.
Ahmad (19004) and Hakim (1/15) both narrated it through the route of Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Zinad, from his father, from Rabia bin Abbad, and he mentioned it.Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Zinad, for there is disagreement about him, but his hadith is hasan, as long as his hadith does not contain anything objectionable.
