15كَلّا لَئِن لَم يَنتَهِ لَنَسفَعًا بِالنّاصِيَةِMir Ahmed AliNay!1 (let him beware!) if he desisteth not, We shall surely drag him by the forelock!This prophecy was fulfilled even in this life at Badr where Abu Jehl was smitten on his forehead. But the warning here is about the punishment, Abu Jehl will receive in the life hereafter and on the Day of the Final Judgment. The other instance which is said about Abu Jehl’s earning this punishment for him was—that once Abu Jehl met the Holy Prophet and warned him for offering the prayers in the Islamic way and threatened him saying that he had the great number of leading personalities of the people on his side. This verse was revealed saying that if Abu Jehl does not desist from his disbelief and the aggressive and wicked ways, on the Day of Judgment he will be dragged by his forelock and thrown in the flaming hell-fire.
