This place, just outside the current Masah is believed to be the estimated location of the house of Abu Jahal. Abu Jahal was relative of the Prophet (PBUH) and one of the biggest and worst enemies of Islam. He was described by the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be on him) as the ‘Fir’awn’ of this Ummah.
Abu Jahal’s real name was Amr ibn Hisham but he was usually known as Abu Hakam (“Father of Wisdom”) among the Quraish as he was considered an intelligent and wise man. His persistent belligerence and hostility towards Islam earned him the name Abu Jahal (Father of Ignorance) among the Muslims. He was a part or member of the Banu Makhzum tribe of the Quraish. Abu Jahal was not an actual uncle of the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be on him) [not His father’s actual brother] but he was His father’s cousin. He was a staunch polytheist and to a great extent disliked the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be on him), taking any chance to rebuke and in public humiliate Him. He was one of the biggest persecutors of the Muslims. When a Muslim convert was discovered among the pecking order of a tribe, Abu Jahal would chastise the convert and then ridicule him in front of his all fellow tribesmen so he would lost their value and respect. When he discovered a trader had converted to religion Islam he gave orders that no one must engage in any kind of business with him. As a result, the convert trader was not capable to sell his wares and became poor. Convert slaves belonging to the polytheist Quraish tribe received the strict and harshest punishment. Abu Jahal hit Harithah bint al-Muammil (may ALLAH be pleased with her), one such slave, for her transfer to such an extent that she lost her sight. He attacked Sumayyah bint Khayyaṭ, the mother of Ammar (may ALLAH be pleased with him); this blessed lady was the first one to meet martyrdom in the way of Islam. When Umar (may ALLAH be pleased with him) embraced Islam, he was strong-minded to announce his new Imaan (faith) to the Prophet’s (peace and blessings of ALLAH be on him) enemies and the initial place he went to was the house of Abu Jahal. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) knocked on his door and Abu Jahal came out and greeted him,” Welcome! What brings you here?” “I have come to inform you that I have embraced the religion of ALLAH Almighty and His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” Umar calmly and peacefully stated. Abu Jahal heard this and replied him disgustedly, “May God ruin you and whatever you have brought!” and slammed the gate shut.
