4a] How the angels protected the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)

4a]
is there a hadith saying that the prophet was protected by a jinn when the wife of abu lahab came to harm him? if so please reply, or is there any other hadith regarding the wife of abu lahab??
Praise be to Allaah.
The idea that one of the jinn used to protect the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) from the wife of Abu Lahab needs real evidence. The person whosaid this has to produce evidence for it. Perhaps heis confused, because whatwas reported was that the angels, by the command of Allaah, protected the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) from the wife of Abu Lahab, as we shall see.
Allaah, may He be exalted,guaranteed to protect His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as He said (interpretation of the meaning): “Allaah will protect you from mankind” [al-Maa’idah 5:67]. One of the ways in which He protected His Prophet was by subjugating His angels to protect and guard him. Sothey hid him from the sight of the wife of Abu Lahab, and she did not see him. The evidence for this is the report narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas, who said: “When the words ‘Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab’ [al-Masad 111:1 – interpretation of the meaning] were revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came when the Messenger of Allaah was sitting with Abu Bakr. AbuBakr said to him, ‘Why do you not move out of her way so that she will not harm you, O Messenger of Allaah?’ The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘There will be a barrier between me and her.’ She came and stood over Abu Bakr and said, ‘O Abu Bakr, your companion has lampooned us.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘No, by the Lord of this House, he has not spoken poetry and he does not utter verse.’ She said, ‘You are speaking the truth.’ When she wentaway, Abu Bakr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, ‘Did she not seeyou?’ He said, ‘No, an angel was covering me until she went away.’”
(Narrated by al-Bazzaar inal-Musnad, 1/68; he said this hadeeth has a hasan isnaad. It was also classedas hasan by Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Baari, 8/958).
(b) Among the ahaadeeth that have been narrated concerning her, may Allaah curse her:
From Jundub ibn Sufyaan (may Allaah be pleased with hhim), who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fell illand did not stay up and pray Qiyaam for two or three nights; then a woman came and said, ‘O Muhammad! I hope that your shaytaan has left you! I have not seen him coming near you for two or three nights!’ Then Allaah revealed the words(interpretation of the meaning): ‘By the forenoon (after sunrise). By the night when it darkens (and stands still). Your Lord (O Muhammad) has neither forsaken you nor hates you” [al-Duha 93:1-3].”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4667; Muslim, 1797).
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said: the words “a woman came” refer to Umm Jameel bint Harb, the wifeof Abu Lahab. We have already stated this in Kitaab Qiyaam al-Layl. (Fath al-Baari, 8/921).
Further evidence of the angels guarding the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by the command of Allaah is to be seen in another incident with Abu Jahl, which was reported by Imaam Muslim (may Allaah have mercy on him) in his Saheeh from Abu Hurayrah, who said: Abu Jahl asked, “Does Muhammad rub his face inthe dust (i.e. does he prostrate when he prays at the Ka’bah) when he is among you?” He was told,“Yes.” He said, “By al-Laat and al-‘Uzza, if I see him doing that, I will step on his neck or I will rub his face in the dust.” Then theMessenger of Allaah (peace and blesings of Allaah be upon him) cameand prayed. He (Abu Jahl) had claimed that he would step on his neck, but suddenly all they saw was that he was running away, raising his hands toprotect himself. It was said to him, “What is the matter with you?” He said, “There is a ditch of fire and terror and wings between me and him.The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If he had come near me, the angels would have snatched him piece by piece.” Then Allaah revealed the words (interpretation of the meaning):
“Nay! Verily, man does transgress (in disbelief and evil deed).
Because he considers himself self-sufficient.
Surely, unto your Lord is the return.
Have you (O Muhammad) seen him (i.e. Abu Jahl) who prevents
A slave (Muhammad) when he prays?
Tell me if he (Muhammad)is on the guidance (of Allaah)
Or enjoins piety?
Tell me if he (Abu Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Qur’aan) and turns away?
Knows he not that Allaah does see (what he does)?
Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock —
A lying, sinful forelock!
Then let him call upon his council (of helpers). :->/ - - - :-> Transtors: 1.http://free-translation.imtranslator.net/lowres.asp 2.http://translate.google.com/m?twu=1&hl=en&vi=m&sl=auto&tl=en

History of Java - Details at-http://bit.ly/LxgK84

The Javanese are mostly descended from migrants who settled the island
in waves from about 4000 BC. Sawah - or wet rice - agriculture was
developed gradually from2000 BC, and trade with South India began as
early as the 3rd century AD. It's believed that this contact led to
the adoption of Hinduism in coastal kingdoms, while Southeast Asian
Buddhismwas also an influence and developed side by side with
Hinduism, along with older beliefs.
In 732 AD the Hindu King Sanjaya founded the kingdom of Mataram,
Java's first major political entity, which controlled much of central
Java and built the Borobudur temple complex. By the 10th century, King
Sendok's East Javanese kingdom was dominant; it was later extended by
Airlangga and split into two, the eastern Janggaraand the western
Kediri, after his death.
Mongols invaded Java in 1292, bringing to the throne a new king,
Wijaya, and a new kingdom, the Majapahit Empire, which would become
the most powerful and famous of Javanese kingdoms until it fell in
1400. By which time Islam was making serious inroads, especially in
coastal ports. Coinciding with Islam's rise was the arrival of the
Portuguese in 1511, soon followed by the Spanish, British and Dutch.
In the course of the 17th century, the Dutch became increasingly
militaristic and played their rivals off one another. By the early
19thcentury the Dutch had extended their influence over the sultanates
of the interior and claimed Java as Dutch territory.
During the Second World War, in 1942, the island came under the
control ofJapanese. When the Japanese left the island in 1945, Sukarno
proclaimedindependence but the Dutch returned and an armed struggle
ensued. Ultimately, Indonesia achieved independence in1949.

There is nothing in the contract that restricted how the nail should
be worshipped. The case was therefore dismissed,and the neighbor went
home dejected.
After long arguments with his wife and a sleepless night, he begged
Mullah to buy hishouse back, at a bargain price. Nasruddin agreed and
they moved out as quickly as possible.
Mullah was once again was able to enjoy his house and his nail, having
made a tidy sum of money./

1] story of Mullah Nasruddin - Details at-http://bit.ly/LxgK84

1]
asruddin's neighbor wasa crooked man with a large, bushy moustache and
he knew about his financial difficulties. He thought he could take
advantage of the situation. "I want to helpyou, good neighbor. I will
buy the house from you, even though I don't really have any interest
in it." The man offered a pitiful price.
Mullah Nasruddin lookeddelighted and drew a small piece of paper from
the folds of his clothing. "God bless you with long life and healthy
progeny for this generous gesture! The house shall be yours, as soon
as we take care of this little clause in the contract."
"What clause?" asked theneighbor, suspiciously.
"Only a very small thing. This house was built by my father."
"A fine gentleman he was. Always paid in cash."
"And you see here on thewall of the living room — there is one nail
sticking out. My father never had the chance to finish hammering it
in. He had a heart attack and died."
"God rests his soul!" The neighbor looked as contrite as he could.
"I therefore request that I be allowed to keep ownership of that nail,
and do whatever I want with it."
The neighbor agreed butexplained that he would have to consult his
wife before signing.
His wife raised some serious objections. "Whyis he going to keep a
nail? What does it mean?"
"He just wants to be allowed to keep and 'worship' his nail from time
to time. That's all."
"He is crazy!"
"Maybe so. But we are getting the house for half its value. So what's
the problem if he wants to keep a small nail?"
The wife finally relented, the contract was signed, and Mullah
Nasruddin moved out.
A month went by. One evening they heard a knock on the door. It
wasNasruddin, with head bowed.
"Oh Mullah, where have you been? We were wondering about you," lied
the crooked man.
Nasruddin explained that he had come to worship his nail and the man
agreed to let him into the house.
Mullah humbly walked behind the man, bowed in front of the nail, and
put his hat on it.
As he was about to leave, the man questioned him. "Hey, hey, what is
that doing there?"
"That's my hat."
"Yes, but you can't leave it in my house."
"'course I can" said the Mullah as he headed towards the door. "It is
on my nail."
Two weeks passed before Mullah Nasruddin's next visit.
"Ah, good morning Mullah. You have come to take back your hat, I presume."
"No thank you, my dear friend. I have come to worship my nail." Once
again he bowed before the nail and, his worshipfinished, he hung a
scarf with his hat and turned to leave.
The crooked man was not amused but there was nothing he could dowhen
Nasruddin claimedhe was worshipping his dead father's nail. The man
sucked the end of his moustache and persuaded himself that this would
be the last time, if only because there was nothing more the mad
Mullah could possibly hang on the nail. He slammed the door behind the
departing pilgrim and hoped his wife wouldn't be too angry.
A week later Mullah Nasruddin returned and bowed towards the nail.
Before turning to leave he took off his coat and hung it on the nail
alongwith the hat and the scarf.
The wife was furious andshe upbraided her husband. "Now look what he's
done. He is taking advantage of our kindness. No, advantage of your
weakness."
"But what can I do?" Theunhappy husband chewed at the ragged end of
his moustache. "We agreed that he can do whatever he wants with his
nail. But fear not, pumpkin, now the nail is full."
The next day, Mullah Nasruddin showed up again. The man tried to shut
the door in his face when he saw who it was, but Nasruddin had already
placed his foot inside – nothing was going to stop him worshipping his
nail.
"Oh God. You again. I do hope this is the last time!" He tugged at the
hair on his upper lip.
"Possibly" replied Nasruddin with his usualbenign smile. He entered,
dragging behind him the carcass of a cow and as he proceeded to hang
it on his nail, the wife went mad with rage, and screamed at her
husband.
"Get that out of my house or I'm leaving you!"
The husband protested vehemently, "Mullah Nasruddin, this is going too
far. We cannot have that."
"But you signed the contract, good neighbor."
"Well, we will see about that. Let us have the council of elders make a ruling."
Soon an assembly of all the wise men of the village had been convened,
and the neighbor explained the situation while smearingthe few wisps
of his once bristling moustache across his upper lip, as though the
sprouts hair offended him.
Mullah simply presented the contract, without uttering a word in his defense.
The wise men studied it carefully, and eventually pronounced that the
Mullah was perfectly entitled to do as he wished with his nail. There
is nothing in the contract that restricted how the nail should be
worshipped. :->
