Despite the trials, the Prophet ﷺ did not control his preaching activities. The first three years of his declaration of prophecy , were secret preaching. It has been ten years since the public preaching started. The invitation to the true path continued unabated. Protests and reactions took many forms. The Prophet ﷺ made a direct attempt targeting the tribes. The seasons when the pilgrims arrived in Mecca were selected for it. Those who came to Mecca stayed mainly in Ukaz, Dul Majas and Majinna . The Prophet ﷺ would follow the Hajis coming from the holy Ka'aba. He would find the places where they camped and adress them . He would enquire about the places of other pilgrims . Then he would follow each tribe and advice them, "Say, La ilaha illa Allah you will succeed. If you believe, you will be the kings of Paradise." By then the Quraish also would have reached there. They often have Abu Lahab as their leader. They will say to the pilgrims. You should not obey this person. This is a Sabiee . Immediately the tribes will react harshly. They will say harsh words. The natives do know a person well. They will respond. The beloved Prophet ﷺ will painfully look for the next opportunities.

 In the report of Imam Baihaqi, Rabee'at bin Ibad says, "I was standing in Mina with my father when I was young. Then I was able to witness the scene where the Prophet ﷺ invited the Arab tribes to Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said: "I am the messenger, whom Allah has sent to you. It is commanded that you worship

Him alone and associate no one with Him. Abstain from the idols you worship. Believe in me and follow me . Accompany me to explain the mission that Allah has assigned me. The people gathered around him. No matter who asked what, he did not remain silent. At that time, a man with a white body came from behind with an Adani cloth and two fore locks . No sooner the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ended his talk , than he began to talk . Oh people this person tells you to avoid Lata, Uzza and the jinns whom we invoke. Don't obey him ! This person has a new thought . Don't join! Rabeea says. I asked my father . Who is the person speaking from behind ? He said. It is Abu Lahab, the Prophet's ﷺ paternal uncle."

 Mudrik bin Muneeb says that he heard the experience of his grandfather from his father. During Jahiliyyah period one day , I happened to see the Messenger of Allah. He says 'Oh people say La ilaha illa Allah, you will succeed .On hearing this, some of them turned their heads, some of them threw soil on his head and some of them scolded him. It continued till midday. Then a young girl came there. She washed the hand and face of the Prophet ﷺ with the water she brought in the bowl. The Prophet ﷺ said. "Don't be afraid of humiliation and failure to your father my daughter". I asked my father who is that?. It is the Prophet's ﷺ daughter, Zainab (R).

            At that time Abu Lahab's greatest pastime was to walk behind the Prophet ﷺ and cause troubles. Abu Jahl used to be in front when Abu Lahab could not reach.
