A similar statement has been reported from Aishah, Mujahid, Ata', Al-Hasan and Ibn Sirin.

It has been mentioned from Ibn Masud that when the Messenger of Allah called his people to faith, Abu Lahab said,

"Even if what my nephew says is true, I will ransom myself (i.e., save myself) from the painful torment on the Day of Judgement with my wealth and my children."

Thus, Allah revealed,
مَأ أَغْنَى عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ
(His wealth and his children will not benefit him!)

Then Allah says,

سَيَصْلَى نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ
